                      African & Asiatic Lions                 


 

Lions are a member of the big cats family. There are two types of lions, the Asiatic and the African lion. The lion population has decreased over time. Long ago, lions used to live worldwide and have a population of 200,000, but now, lions live only in Africa and maintain a small population in Gir Forest, India.

African lions 
 

 


 

African lions are slightly bigger than Asiatic lions. Unlike African males, Asiatic males do not live with a female in the pride unless they are mating or have a large kill. The male Asiatic lion has a shorter and darker mane and on the other hand, the Africa males have a fuller and longer mane.   There are only 523  Asiatic lions and about 20,000 African lions. This is because of poachers illegally hunting the lions and habitat destruction. Today, many people are working to protect lions and you can too!

What are Puppy Mills?

 What are Puppy Mills? By: Mithra Vasanthan What are Puppy Mills? Puppy mills are farms that help commercial dog breeders breed puppies. They are convenient for pet stores that want a wide variety of puppies to sell quickly.  Why are Puppy Mills Bad? Puppy Mills provide very poor conditions for puppies.  The puppies are locked up in wire cages and do not get clean food or water. The dogs can not be active and putting them in wire cages can injure them.  Are Puppy Mills Illegal? Although in some places puppy mills are illegal,  most mills are not. The state of Calafornia was the first state to ban puppy mills.  Pet stores in CA were only allowed to sell puppies from rescue shelters and organizations. Puppy mills are an example of animal cruelty.  Although there are a lot of puppy mills left,  many people are taking steps to stop  puppy mills.  Thanks for taking the time to read.
