“…It is also possible to train animals to present body parts that would not otherwise be able to be examined without physically touching the animal. In one example with lions and tigers in a Japanese zoo, big cats were trained with PRT to lie down on a designated station and were habituated to their tail being gently hooked through a specialized gap in the barrier for blood collection [116]. Such strategies allow for samples to be collected without the need for chemical restraint or for significant enclosure design modifications.…”

There is an ethical responsibility to provide all animals living in human care with optimal and positive well-being. As animals living in zoos and aquariums frequently interact with their human caregivers as part of their daily care routines, it is both relevant and essential to consider the impact of these interactions on animal well-being. Allowing animals to have choice and control in multiple areas of their lives, such as by providing opportunities for them to voluntarily participate in their own care through, for example, positive reinforcement training, is an essential component of good animal well-being programs. This review aims to describe evidence-based approaches, ethics, and best practices in the handling and training of the many taxa held in zoos and aquariums worldwide, drawing from work in related animal care fields such as laboratories, farms, rescue, and sanctuaries. The importance of ongoing animal well-being assessments is discussed, with a particular focus on the need for continued review and refinement of processes and procedures pertaining to animal training and handling specifically. Review, enquiry, assessment, evaluation, and refinement will aim to dynamically support positive well-being for all animals.

“…Reproductive activity of the lion was monitored by measuring the plasma P 4 levels, examining the vaginal smear, and observing a vaginal discharge under the behavioral restraint, as previously described [ 4 , 14 ]. While the lion was positioned lying on the deck setup along the exhibit fence, 0.5–3 ml of blood was collected from the tail, and vaginal smears were conducted by swab (Hakujiumenbou, Hakujuji Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).…”

Lions ( Panthera leo ) breed well under captivity, so contraception has been commonly conducted for population management, leading to a demand for a less invasive and reversible contraceptive approach in lions. In this study, we examined the efficacy of a commercial gonadotropin-releasing hormone vaccine as a method of suppressing reproductive activity in a sexually matured female lion. Under behavioral restraint, the vaccine was injected twice (days 0 and 109). After the initial vaccination, ovarian activity is still observed. After the second vaccination, contraceptive effect was confirmed for 246 days until restart of estrous cycles. We confirmed only a slight swelling around the injection site after the second vaccination. This study may suggest an alternative option for a contraceptive method in lions.
