Thailand’s environment minister has ordered that a “pet” lioness of a social media influencer be seized after the animal broke free from its chain and attacked two people, including an 11-year-old boy.
The lioness, owned by social media influencer Parinya Parkpoom, 32, escaped from its restraints on Saturday night and injured the boy and the man before being recaptured in Kanchanaburi, a town 123km from Bangkok in west Thailand.
