Descripción de Lion Protecting Girl:

PLEASE READ THIS to understand fully the point of the video. That lion's story is a really sad one. He and several other big cats were owned by a bad backyard breeder. When they didn't want them anymore they put them in horse trailer and left them there without food or water. HOT, FILTHY, MISERABLE etc. By the time the sanctuary found them and rescued them a leopard had already died in the horse trailer from the heat and apparent starvation. The sanctuary rescued them, gave them medical care and large yards to be in, food daily, and daily cleaning of their yards and dens. The beginning of the video the man who runs the sanctuary is pulling the steel bar out that secures the door between the den and yard, so the door could swing open and let the lions out into the yard for the day. They spend most of their time in the yard but go into the den/cage when the yard needs cleaned or repaired. This lion always acts like this if he thinks anyone is going to get near "his girl", as the staff affectionately calls the lioness. He loves and adores her even more than you would expect a lion to adore a lioness. I often hear people say I want a pet tiger or I want a pet lion, so this video shows what it looks like to the victims of wild animal attacks. That sanctuary has rescued over 30 lions, tigers, cougars & bears from the southern part of our state, therefore, I felt it was important to show people that when they buy a cute cuddly cub they would have a large, strong and potentially dangerous carnivore in their backyard when it grows up. Of course, we'd prefer all lions be in the wild. However, when someone else makes a lion captive, raises it in captivity, there just is no safe or affordable way to return it to the wild. Wild habitat areas are diminishing at an alarming rate. If we intend to save wild animals we need to get serious about preserving and protecting wild habitats, not raising wild animals in cages in backyards. Please help prevent more lions, tigers, leopards, bears from needing rescues from bad pet owners or going thru what these lions endured. Check into Haley's Act! Go to www.CatLaws.com to learn more.
