And Kathy, is that lion prohibition for African lions only, or do mountain lions count, too? Is there an exception for MGM films?

FWIW, the first MGM lion was born in Dublin, Ireland.


I'd be *Lyin'* if I said I knew the answer...

The websites I looked at don't actually describe which sort of lion is illegal, although Maryland has the exact same law on their books. Apparently any type of lion would be illegal, but perhaps a person could take a Liger or a Tigon as they are only a half lion hybrid.

I can't think why this is even a thing. Were movie theatres being mobbed with lions? Maybe the lions roared at inappropriate times, hogged the popcorn or made a mess on the seat. But I would think the law should for sure make an exception in the case of a lion attending an MGM movie.
