Ivan and Cornel, 4-year-old lions, stand inside a private roadside zoo in Novi Pazar, Serbia. The pair was among three lions acquired from the Belgrade Zoo by a private person in 2009 before Serbian legislation prohibiting possession of dangerous wild animals came into force in 2010. Officials confiscated the animals and asked Four Paws Animal Welfare Foundation to transfer them to Africa.

A Turkish woman holds her cat in front of a banner during a march for animal rights in Istanbul. Demonstrators gathered against a proposed amendment to law No. 5199 on the protection of animals. The new draft, which is slated to be discussed in parliament by late October, authorizes the removal of stray animals, a limit to the number of pets in houses and the termination of what are termed “dangerous” breeds. Activists fear the regulation will lead to mass killing of cats and dogs, regardless of whether they are pets or strays.
