Coffee Cat Coffee and Safety: A Lion Bite at a Thai Safari Park Cafe
At a cafe inside a safari park in Thailand, a customer was lightly bitten by a lion cub during an experience session. The skin was not broken, but a bruise was left. Staff disinfected the area at once, and the visitor did not blame them, planning a rabies vaccine after returning home.
A hospital later said that because the bite went through trousers without breaking the skin, no rabies vaccine was needed, though the cub's bite force still caused bruising. The case has renewed safety questions about animal-themed venues, which range from coffee cat coffee shops to wild-animal experiences, and about how such programs are supervised.

In recent years, animal-themed coffee shops have continued to gain popularity in many Asian countries. In these shops, in addition to common cute pets such as cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits, and pigs, more wild-themed experience programs have also appeared.
Because the skin surface was not broken by the bite, the staff disinfected the area immediately after the incident. The netizen did not blame the staff either, but instead reassured them not to worry, and planned to get a rabies vaccine after returning home.

Later, after returning home, this netizen went to the hospital for treatment. The hospital said that because the bite was through pants and the skin was not broken, there was no need for a rabies vaccine. However, although no bite wound was caused, the lion cub's bite force was strong, and even a light bite resulted in bruising.
