You can't go wrong with cute, right?
Well, cute for now.
A Palestinian zoo owner has put three lion cubs up for sale, fearing he won't be able to afford to feed them as they grow.
And they can be yours — for just $3,500 each. Mohammed Jomaa said Friday that many people were interested. Of course, none of the offers were serious, he added, as potential buyers share the same concern.
Instead, they bring their children to pet the 2-month-old cubs at the southern Gaza zoo.
Most of Gaza's 2 million residents have other priorities. Poverty, unemployment and constant power shortages, coupled with the Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the territory since 2007, have stifled the economy.
International animal welfare groups have evacuated monkeys and lions, because their shelters were damaged in fighting with Israel or because their owners failed to take proper care of them.
