A Buddhist temple in Xi’an, Central China’s Shaanxi Province, has been fined RMB 3000 (USD 463) for illegally owning a lion in the premises. Officials earlier have confirmed that they have confiscated the lion, and investigation is ongoing in the direction of a criminal case.
It is reported that the temple was given two baby lions who were sick back in 2010. One of them passed away afterwards, and the other has been staying in the temple until recently.
