Don't treat wild life the way you want to, treat them as they wanted to be treated. Dean here proved the point. Love you Dean and your inspirational work.
That's what Stone Age conservatives said about wolves once too. And then we made dogs of them wolves. Domesticating lions would take too long for contemporary generations to reap the cuddly benefits though. But if we apply our human ingenuity, I'm sure we can come up with a secure and reliable way to lobotomize lion cubs in order to turn them into docile, cuddly pets. Sure, they won't be good for much else afterwards - but if you can afford a pet lion to begin with, that shouldn't bother you much, right?
As much of a dream this is, we have tamed possibly 4 different canine species. Half of them are extinct, and that's the Hare Indian dog (coyote), Fuegian dog (culpeo), and the extant ones are the domestic dog and the Russian fox. The reason we could do this is that canines are social animals, have an omnivorous diet, and have at least a social heirachal structure. The problem with felid domestication is that most of them are solitary and fight each other often, they are incredibly predatory, that means they hunt and kill and only eat nothing but flesh and blood, we only tamed one, one of the smallest ones but the cheetah is far too independent and finicky when it comes to breeding for plausible domestication.
Hi, I don’t know if you are comfortable with this but i am sorry for interfering on your profile, I don't know if we could be friends? ... I really don't want to be rude to send you a request without your permission, I don’t know if it will be convenient that you kindly send me a request.

When my daughter went to Thailand, she didn’t get tiger pics, or elephant rides.. even though should would have loved it ! For the same reason u said.. she instead .. paid to be volunteer at an elephant sanctuary, and spent her time there, picking up elephant shit 💩. And admiring them from afar . It was her way of helping those in captivity to lead better lives. Bless u for dedicating your life to these awesome inspiring souls xx

"Always be there for them, with patience, empathy & respect. No matter how ugly & uncomfortable it gets. And learning to love them exactly the way they are, not the way we wish them to be." Beautiful words and a rock solid way to build ANY relationship. My deepest respect to Dean and his entire team. You guys are living examples of how to treat our fellow living beings well. Something we all owe to each other, for the privilege of life we have on this gorgeous planet.
Sometimes I can not believe my eyes when I see how respectful Dean and Noeh are around lions and how much work and time goes into it. I adore you both. And it is beautiful how close your friendship and loyality is. So inspiring😊
People like you sir, change a lot of perception the world has about animals, I am so impressed by the words "hakuna mipaka" a Swahili word which translates "there are no boundaries" pretty inspirational 🔥 Sending love from 🇹🇿
@@hols7183 the lion king used some Swahili words lol, "hakuna" means "no" "matata" means "problems" so literally "hakuna matata" means "no problems" Swahili is nice, welcome to 🇹🇿 land of 'the great Serengeti' and 'Mount Kilimanjaro.'
Shalom Dean from Roanoke Virginia I'm a 70 year old widow and I've been watching you since you first started. I was so impressed by your 1st documentary,White Lion. Wish I could get a copy of it. Lions are truly the most majestic creature God ever made. God has blessed you greatly with the talent of knowing so many creatures up close and personal. God bless you and all your furbabies and different families! 👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
Thanks Dean 🙏🏽💪🏼Liebe Grüsse aus Bern - miau 😂🥊 u wenn Dexter es zulässt ein Knuddel von mir - ich liebe Deine Videos und Du lebst was Du liebst… voll Respekt👍🏼💪🏼
Dean......if I had 10 million bucks I'd give you every last penny. Your continuous smile through the good times and even the bad has been inspiration in and of itself. You are truly what this world needs bro! Keep that head held high and know that God favors you more than you know! God speed my friend ....and thank you. On behalf of planet Earth and all of its creatures.....we thank you!!!!
These lions also have a you tube channel where their viewers ask questions like : " aren't you guys afraid Dean is going to eat y'all alive, he looks terrifying "... 😂
"Love means that no matter what the circumstances are you always act behave and make decisions to the benefit of the opposite." My God. My favorite thing about Dean Schneider's videos is his very heart. Live long and prosper dear brother!❤❤
Do I have fear? No. Fear is the worst companion and holds you back from building meaningfull relationships, this even goes for humans. Who made Dean a modern age Mahatma Ghandi?!
You are like live Tarzán, Dean . May God bless you with good health and strong body and mind to keep caring and nurturing these majestic creatures. I wonder how your crown will look like for all these Joy that you bring. Brother from another mother. Let me call you brother in Christ. We give you your flower, you are not a princess. You are a King👑. Respect for you and your lion family. And your crew.
Well as a grown up adult, it gave me so much of insight about life,relationship ,friendship ..all these applies to humans too.Basic laws are same in nature I guess
Man, you are blessed and privileged to live a life in complete harmony with nature and its wilder side. you create such a wonderful-unconditional-love relationship with these animals. Truth and beauty in the most beautiful way.
I have the deepest respect for you both because of your caring work with the lions and other animals. I hope you and the lions tell us a lot of more stories through the years. Love them and watch them with gratitude. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You are so brave wearing zebra shorts.... I'm inspired by the pride & you. Watching all of you learn & grow over these years have been a blessing to my heart. Thank you❤
As amazing as Dean and Noeh's relationship with the lions may be, we should all remember to be grateful that we can enjoy such incredible footage of these breathtaking creatures from the comfort of our own homes. People of the past would not have this experience we take for granted. We are so lucky. Thank you for the video, what a beautiful life you have with such magical, beautiful, humbling animals.
Puts things into perspective doesn’t it. I get mauled by my cats also sometimes. Mainly during play, the male gets rough. And that’s a 6kg cat. I can’t imagine what a 250 to 300kg cat would feel like.
@@amaximus5753 I also have a cat which a play fight. I got some scars on my arms. It's impossible to compare a cat playing and a lion playing. That claws on Dean's face man 😮...
Unfortunately I cannot help but answer, if cats scratch it is always and only the owner's fault, I have lived with cats since I was a child, no one has ever scratched me, some are too affectionate
Thank you for putting together this great educational video and for making it very clear that wild animals are NOT pets and cannot be treated as such, and that it takes a lifetime of dedication, hard work, and inevitable injuries to develop the kind of relationship that you have with the lions and other animals. The sanctuary is NOT a petting zoo.

@@DeanSchneiderHakunaMipaka Man, two years of war in my country have brought a lot of grief and misfortune, and it's very easy to drown in this depressive whirlpool. But finding your channel on Instagram and TH-cam and watching your videos, I touch something bright and hopeful every time. Seeing how you follow your path, your values with great love and passion, and how much beauty you bring into this world, I'm glad that such things exist somewhere on the planet. Your TH-cam video about how hard it is for you to maintain the entire park really touched me. Unfortunately, I can't do much, but I bought a bracelet and hope it will somehow help your cause. This is all I can afford, but let it be a small contribution to your wonderful work. You show that it's possible to stay true to your values no matter how hard it gets, showing a part of our wonderful planet. You show how important it is to maintain balance, to respect those around us, whether they are people or wild animals. You show that in return for respect and love comes even more respect and love even from beings that seem hostile or very distant to us. Thank you for what you do!
@@DeanSchneiderHakunaMipaka⁉️🤷♂️🦁 Lets say a lion from another pride attacked you or a bunch of hyenas, would the lions that you associate with come to your rescue 🦁🤷♂️⁉️
This time I was sure that even predatory animals have feelings, emotions and a language of communication with each other and that they understand and differentiate between their owner and others and that you are a very strong person. I congratulate you on that.
This has been such an educational video. Thank you so much Dean for taking the time to explain all the questions that I’ve had about your life with the Lions and all the other animals. I learned so much from this video. I have so much respect for you and your crew❤
Awww I'm glad you could learn a lot from this Video and that most of Your questions have been answered through it. Thanks for watching and feel free to share it with Your people too :)
I was a licensed wildlife rehabber for nearly 7 years and will agree 100% that wildlings are not meant to be "tamed" or made to be pets. I felt privileged when animals I had released occasionally came back to visit, and I knew I was safe; but this is not for the average, uneducated, untrained person. Much love for your message.
I think Dean has figured out the meaning of life!! His ability to inspire + educate w/ the purist intentions and love, is the most unique gift a person can posses!! I don't even kno this guy but somehow I have love in my heart for him and all he has been able to accomplish in his short lifetime!!
I’m ready to donate everything I’ll have when I’ll earn to this man for Lions, he’s literally the definition of the most calm, composed nd kind man, Love from India dean, you’re truly an inspiration nd I sure wanna live w lions one day
Imagine having you as a dad and having a school project of "what my parents do" not many kids can say my dad lives with Lions 😊 Thank you for the videos it's really fun to learn more and fascinating to watch you interact with the animals. Good luck to you and the team in all your projects. From Colorado US
You REALLY are so AMAZING. I always love your videos, but this one was so above and beyond important for the whole world. We as outsiders dont know the total story of your life with the cats. Thank you so much for this and for everything you do to take care of our precious animals. ❤
Ich kann dich nur beneiden für deinen Job...ich weiss du verstehst mich..so viel über dich gelesen..kommst doch aus der Schweiz!!!drin englisch ist großartig!!!Hard to follow for a animals loving german close to Hamburg ❤❤❤❤
I love what Dean said at the end in warning us never to endorse the public to interact with the animals. You are the very best Dean. We love you for all the Love and respect you pay to the Lions. God bless your big heart.🩷🙏🏼
I love your relationship with your lions 🦁 and other animals and I wish I could have such a relationship that you have with your animals like you do. You’re a special person for your love, kindness and patience!
This is the closest example i have seen to how God intended. Im jealous, which turns into the real emotions of respect and love and appreciation for your twam and the Lions. The other animals as well. Too many people think of animals (anything living in nature) as not as smart or important as we are. Simply not true. Thank you for sharing your precious life with these precious beings.
You are a lucky man! I live with 6 domestic cats, and I am scratched up all the time, so I can only imagine how often you are probably injured. You are wise to know that you are not the King. You can only be with me when I am not hungry also!
Thanks for all the work you do Dean! Snow is my favorite ❤ but I love them all and hope you are able to get all the financial help you need in order to stay up and running!
MAD Respect to you Dean Schneider! I promise you once i have the means i will support your cause with every thing i have. God Bless you for what you do!
Moi aussi, je t'enverrai de l'argent pour t'aider à bien soigner les animaux mais pour le moment je ne peux pas. J'ai moi-même des animaux et le vétérinaire coûte très cher et les médicaments aussi. Et tout le reste, comme tu sais. Mais je ne vous oublierai pas ! C'est tellement beau de vous voir tous ensemble jouer ou vous câliner.
Thank you Dean! I like watching his channel so much! Watching Dexter from a little cub to a Lion King was so touching. On the other hand, watching Queen Nayla so obsessed with Dean, the ways she pushed away other lions like Snow and the same moment Snow also wanted Dean made me laughed... Love Dean's lions so much especially Dexter, Nayla and Snow!
We know that they are not pets, but if you manage to make friends with them, for example, you raise them from an early age, then it is a very beautiful show of love these animals show for a to a friend or owner who raised them and took care of them.💗💗💗💗
Absolutely love the respect and love that you show the animals. I wish I would have gotten involved with wildlife as a young woman. But too late now. If you are young and think you might want to get involved with wildlife…. DO IT NOW…. Before life passes you by. It goes quickly. I’ve spent much of my life with domestic animals,but the last 15 or so years have truly started to understand my dog family. Spent most of my life working as a nurse. Wish I would have worked with animals instead. Love watching these videos of true love and compassion being displayed both ways.
In another world if I had the money I would start a sanctuary like this. Not for profit but because I would want to love and take care of god's most majestic creatures. Thank you Dean for providing some small piece of my dream, even if I can only watch.
Dean, I hope you have 9 lives so you can continue this EPIC JOURNEY FOR several dozen more DECADES..thankyou for all the good you do, and especially sharing this with us HUGE ADMIRERS OF YOURS!!😊
Thank you Dean, yes you are part of the lion family, raising them from kittens. You know their so-called thoughts. Gestures. By movement, body language. Each of them has a different nature, sometimes it is difficult. Now the boys are adults. There is definitely tension there. This is about the role of a leader, a very complex situation. I like your approach. Your work and effort is impressive. You are a role model. You remind me of Steve Irwin. It's like a dream, but it's not a dream. It's really real. Thank you. I look forward to more videos. Regards, Renzi.
@@DeanSchneiderHakunaMipaka 🙂It's okay, I'm proud of you, you've done something that no one has done before. I love animals and respect the laws of nature. It's a miracle, thank you for being there. say hello to the team. Especially Dexter, he's my favorite.❤️
Man, you are next level attentive. If you deal with people the way you deal with lions i'd gladly be a friend of yours. It's so cool that you are aware that a lot that matters with regards to how you relate to a lion also goes for humans. Like we used to bound a lot better when we lived in small villages as big cities are colder, more distant or reserved in terms of how people relate to one another in general. The bounding process in smaller towns was more intense.
“We need to learn to love them exactly as they are and not the way we wish them to be.” 💯 This video was so heart warming. Not only giving us real talk on relationships with wild animals but relationship advice in general 😅 also this is exactly why I won’t go to a zoo or circus. It also saddens me so much to see people who use lions and tigers as pets 💔
Love watching you Dean & the team. You guys always share the realities of having a bond with these beautiful creatures and what it really takes.. We need more open minded, compassionate, and ofc passionate individuals like yourself in the world. Keep up the amazing work, sharing love from Wisconsin.
You and your friend are good men. It’s good to see someone enjoy what they’re doing. These animals are so majestic; I’m glad you have that bond with them. Thanks for sharing!
What is your favourite sequence the video?
Mark the time line!🦁
I was wondering what are their ages?? If you don’t mind my asking ❤❤
My favorite part was at 13:12, when you showed them as cubs!! I haven’t seen them as cubs yet, so that was awesome to see!! ❤❤
17:21 that was surprising for me that you can smack a beast like that 😂... Thank you for the video much appreciated 🙏😊

As much of a dream this is, we have tamed possibly 4 different canine species. Half of them are extinct, and that's the Hare Indian dog (coyote), Fuegian dog (culpeo), and the extant ones are the domestic dog and the Russian fox.
The reason we could do this is that canines are social animals, have an omnivorous diet, and have at least a social heirachal structure.
The problem with felid domestication is that most of them are solitary and fight each other often, they are incredibly predatory, that means they hunt and kill and only eat nothing but flesh and blood, we only tamed one, one of the smallest ones but the cheetah is far too independent and finicky when it comes to breeding for plausible domestication.

This time I was sure that even predatory animals have feelings, emotions and a language of communication with each other and that they understand and differentiate between their owner and others and that you are a very strong person. I congratulate you on that.
This has been such an educational video. Thank you so much Dean for taking the time to explain all the questions that I’ve had about your life with the Lions and all the other animals. I learned so much from this video. I have so much respect for you and your crew❤
Awww I'm glad you could learn a lot from this Video and that most of Your questions have been answered through it. Thanks for watching and feel free to share it with Your people too :)
❤❤
I was a licensed wildlife rehabber for nearly 7 years and will agree 100% that wildlings are not meant to be "tamed" or made to be pets. I felt privileged when animals I had released occasionally came back to visit, and I knew I was safe; but this is not for the average, uneducated, untrained person. Much love for your message.
I think Dean has figured out the meaning of life!!
His ability to inspire + educate w/ the purist intentions and love, is the most unique gift a person can posses!!
I don't even kno this guy but somehow I have love in my heart for him and all he has been able to accomplish in his short lifetime!!
This brought tears of joy. Seeing them as cubs, omg literally melts my heart. I loved this video so much. Thank you.
Glad I’m not the only one that gets teary eyed. I love animals so much.
Thanks
How much is that in real money (dollars)

@ChanceWilkinsTwin what do you mean real money? Money is real
This channel is too special. Well done you inspire me every single time I see your videos
I am very envious to be so close to a beautiful big cat. I believe there must be a lot of love behind it.❤
I’m ready to donate everything I’ll have when I’ll earn to this man for Lions, he’s literally the definition of the most calm, composed nd kind man, Love from India dean, you’re truly an inspiration nd I sure wanna live w lions one day
Would love to capture your beautiful relationship in person one day...your message of empathy to animals is so close to heart
Nice to see you guys again 😊
It's amazing how similar their body language is to domesticated cats.
They're so much sweeter than house cats 😂😂
Especially the head bumps!
Cats will be cats,eyes and body language tell you what you need to know if you can recognize.
Imagine having you as a dad and having a school project of "what my parents do" not many kids can say my dad lives with Lions 😊
Thank you for the videos it's really fun to learn more and fascinating to watch you interact with the animals.
Good luck to you and the team in all your projects.

Hahaha Yeah im sure that would be cool for the other kids but I guess my own will by than be used to it :)
That last part made me cry. Love the work you do Dean. Hats off to your crew as well. Online world needs to see you.
You REALLY are so AMAZING. I always love your videos, but this one was so above and beyond important for the whole world. We as outsiders dont know the total story of your life with the cats. Thank you so much for this and for everything you do to take care of our precious animals. ❤
Glad to see confirmation that Dean is indeed, still alive.
I would hope so, since he's done YT livestreams frequently over the last couple of months. It would be freaky watching a zombie 😆
Not scared. Only big big love
I know you can,t answer..but i know you,re able to answer in german langsamer.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love you for All ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sorry ..fuck the Auto language correction of my Handy..
Ich kann dich nur beneiden für deinen Job...ich weiss du verstehst mich..so viel über dich gelesen..kommst doch aus der Schweiz!!!drin englisch ist großartig!!!Hard to follow for a animals loving german close to Hamburg ❤❤❤❤
You are ordained to do this. God bless you... Heartwarming... No words to describe your life... Better then living between people... Although for me.
Dean Schneider a good human ❤️
Is this guy the best human on the planet? I think he's up there. Love from Australia.
Dean please keep posting more videos. Love watching it, hopefully there is a longer version
Not longer, more frequent
No way you can't like this guy's videos. Much love from Morocco ❤.
Dean, you are living life the way many of us can only dream about, you're a blessed man.
I love what Dean said at the end in warning us never to endorse the public to interact with the animals. You are the very best Dean. We love you for all the Love and respect you pay to the Lions. God bless your big heart.🩷🙏🏼
I love all your lions but Leo is a special breed of lion he looks amazing.
Agreed
They are cared for handsomely..❤
I love your relationship with your lions 🦁 and other animals and I wish I could have such a relationship that you have with your animals like you do. You’re a special person for your love, kindness and patience!
Dean I think you're one of the most amazing human being that has ever graced this earth keep doing what you're doing.
read some books
Мужчины, любящие братьев наших меньших- самые смелые, благородные и надёжные.❤❤❤. Согласна с вами.
Snow has grown majestically. ❤
This is the closest example i have seen to how God intended. Im jealous, which turns into the real emotions of respect and love and appreciation for your twam and the Lions. The other animals as well. Too many people think of animals (anything living in nature) as not as smart or important as we are. Simply not true. Thank you for sharing your precious life with these precious beings.
I think they understand you, even as different, as a friend, as someone who cares for them and loves them.
What an incredible Video! Very interesting and informative! Thank you guys for sharing with us😍🙏
awwww LOVE YOU ♥️

You are a lucky man! I live with 6 domestic cats, and I am scratched up all the time, so I can only imagine how often you are probably injured. You are wise to know that you are not the King. You can only be with me when I am not hungry also!
Thanks for all the work you do Dean! Snow is my favorite ❤ but I love them all and hope you are able to get all the financial help you need in order to stay up and running!
MAD Respect to you Dean Schneider! I promise you once i have the means i will support your cause with every thing i have. God Bless you for what you do!
Moi aussi, je t'enverrai de l'argent pour t'aider à bien soigner les animaux mais pour le moment je ne peux pas. J'ai moi-même des animaux et le vétérinaire coûte très cher et les médicaments aussi. Et tout le reste, comme tu sais. Mais je ne vous oublierai pas ! C'est tellement beau de vous voir tous ensemble jouer ou vous câliner.
These are the most beautiful cats. Love seeing them every time.
Man .... those LIONS are now BIG BOYS, awesome ma cuz

Hi Dean!
I love seeing you with the pride.
They love you so much. Much love Dean and to the pride.
I sure hope all is well for you...and your cats. (And the others)
You are truly gifted...and ur cats love you. Thanks for sharing.
❤❤❤
Thank you Dean!
I like watching his channel so much!
Watching Dexter from a little cub to a Lion King was so touching.
On the other hand, watching Queen Nayla so obsessed with Dean, the ways she pushed away other lions like Snow and the same moment Snow also wanted Dean made me laughed...
Love Dean's lions so much especially Dexter, Nayla and Snow!
We know that they are not pets, but if you manage to make friends with them, for example, you raise them from an early age, then it is a very beautiful show of love these animals show for a to a friend or owner who raised them and took care of them.💗💗💗💗
Absolutely love the respect and love that you show the animals. I wish I would have gotten involved with wildlife as a young woman. But too late now.
If you are young and think you might want to get involved with wildlife…. DO IT NOW…. Before life passes you by. It goes quickly.
I’ve spent much of my life with domestic animals,but the last 15 or so years have truly started to understand my dog family. Spent most of my life working as a nurse. Wish I would have worked with animals instead.
Love watching these videos of true love and compassion being displayed both ways.
In another world if I had the money I would start a sanctuary like this. Not for profit but because I would want to love and take care of god's most majestic creatures. Thank you Dean for providing some small piece of my dream, even if I can only watch.
Dean you have proved yourself as a King,the King of Kings needs lots of bravehearts now
You're so lucky to get to experience the lions like that. Many people wish they could. They're so gorgeous ❤❤❤
Dean, I hope you have 9 lives so you can continue this EPIC JOURNEY FOR several dozen more DECADES..thankyou for all the good you do, and especially sharing this with us HUGE ADMIRERS OF YOURS!!😊
Thank you Dean, yes you are part of the lion family, raising them from kittens. You know their so-called thoughts. Gestures. By movement, body language. Each of them has a different nature, sometimes it is difficult. Now the boys are adults. There is definitely tension there. This is about the role of a leader, a very complex situation. I like your approach. Your work and effort is impressive. You are a role model. You remind me of Steve Irwin. It's like a dream, but it's not a dream. It's really real. Thank you. I look forward to more videos. Regards, Renzi.
Thanks so much for your kind and mindful comment :) It makes me happy to have such a value for You even to the extend that You call me a role model :)
@@DeanSchneiderHakunaMipaka 🙂It's okay, I'm proud of you, you've done something that no one has done before. I love animals and respect the laws of nature. It's a miracle, thank you for being there. say hello to the team. Especially Dexter, he's my favorite.❤️
@@kvetarakasova9288 Well there is a channel the Lion Whisperer so he isn't the only one.
@@diazclemenza3591Yes, I watch Kevin as well.
So beautiful. I love to see humans and animals interacting with mutual respect.
I'm truly emotional seeing you taking care of these lions. Thanks for your blessed mission
Man, you are next level attentive. If you deal with people the way you deal with lions i'd gladly be a friend of yours.
It's so cool that you are aware that a lot that matters with regards to how you relate to a lion also goes for humans.
Like we used to bound a lot better when we lived in small villages as big cities are colder, more distant or reserved in terms of how people relate to one another in general. The bounding process in smaller towns was more intense.
Loved every bit of your video. Thanks for showing us your life with these beautiful creatures
They're look gorgeous 🦁
Thank you for caring for those majestic animals. They look healthy and happy and that's what matters the most.
Thank you for the video!! So glad to see Leo and the ladies again. And my god Snow is such a beauty!
I got one word. Damn! Yall are one of the bravest but lovingest wildlife people I've ever seen. Respect and I haven't even met yall.
“We need to learn to love them exactly as they are and not the way we wish them to be.” 💯 This video was so heart warming. Not only giving us real talk on relationships with wild animals but relationship advice in general 😅
also this is exactly why I won’t go to a zoo or circus. It also saddens me so much to see people who use lions and tigers as pets 💔
Love watching you Dean & the team. You guys always share the realities of having a bond with these beautiful creatures and what it really takes.. We need more open minded, compassionate, and ofc passionate individuals like yourself in the world. Keep up the amazing work, sharing love from Wisconsin.
You and your friend are good men. It’s good to see someone enjoy what they’re doing. These animals are so majestic; I’m glad you have that bond with them. Thanks for sharing!
