Are you people naive or just stupid?

They obviously didn’t release him into the “wild” as this video suggests. See the old guy with the walking stick? He takes care of the animals no doubt on a large protected property. These animals are about as wild as a dog that is kept on a farm.

Yes, it is a lovely “story” but it is bit like going to visit a dog that you gave away to a friend.

Ah yes how could I have forgotten that. What a beautiful story, almost fated the way it all fell together for this gorgeous, intelligent animal. He could have so easily ended up in some crappy circus or zoo were it not for these guys.

A shorter version of this clip has been making the email rounds for months. Thanks Beet for posting it.

oh, and BTW, george adamson died when he was 83, still in africa, trying to save a tourist from poachers, so the poachers shot him dead

his (by then ex)wife, joy adamson also got killed in africa some ten yrs b4 that

this is how different people can be
you laugh at a terrible story such as Dimitri psycholoverboy
it gives me the creeps
you cry with this video
and I burst out laughing at the part
“he even introduces them to his wife”
I can’t stop

PS Beet, take care of that foot and do as told. Feet can take a looong time to fully heal. Can’t be rushed or you risk a lifetime of trouble.

Elizabeth99, that is two men, not a man and woman in the vid…doubtless gay but who cares. There’s a whole DVD about Christian the lion and how these 2 guys came to own him (bought him from a department store in London as a cub – I think he was a Christmas novelty, bred from 2 zoo lions). Part of the video cover the old guy, whose name I can’t remember right now, who tamed & socialized lions and lived among them. Even he was amazed at how well trained Christian was when came over to Africa.
I love that moment in this vid where Christian recognizes them.
