    This, ladies and gentlemen, is pure courage. She's young, traumatized and completely alone, which is the most abnormal thing for lionesses. And yet, she goes out to investigate. She's a heroine.

      Having been bedridden from illness for an extended amount of time, I was very wobbly when I could finally move again. Well, actually, I couldn't walk at all initially.
      Just saying it definitely could have contributed.

      @@melodiefrances3898 I’m reiterating what they say on this channel. I’m a neuromusculoskeletal medicine physician so I agree with you however that is not what the channel says. Look for another video of her and read the description. If it’s due to brain damage, it will require much more than physical activities for her to “fully” recover. Hope you’re doing really well now Melodie.

      What happened? Except for the head, all movements of this lioness look completely disturbed, especially those of the hind legs. Was this lioness still stunned or what?
      If not, then this lioness needs more than just grass under her paws.
      The hind legs or the pelvis seem to be damaged. A cripple, but grass under his paws?
      I don't mean caution and restraint in the new environment. I mean the apparently disturbed movement sequences and interaction of muscles and joints. I have animals myself and know what it looks like normally. Even if an animal is cautious, frightened or reserved in a new environment. This means that the interaction of muscles and joints is completely independent of this.
      What we see here, especially concerning the hind legs, is a bit fishy.
      Don't get me wrong, I love animals and prefer to see them in the wild. I also think it's good when animals are helped.

    19th November 2024…. It’s my birthday, 70 yrs old today… in a flood of tears…and from a time where most if not all humans had different ideas about keeping animals captive. … Ohh man, just how could we, what were we thinking about back then. Just how dumb and stupid were we…and in a lot of ways still are? My tears are not tears of sorrow, no matter how many rivers of tears I weep in sorrow it won’t change a thing. My tears are tears of pure joy for awesome Yuna… you go girl…you go and be free….folk know your fears, worries, trepidations nowadays. Take as long as you need sweetheart, this is about you and it is about some of us saying sorry to you for what we put you through. I sincerely love all you guys for doing right by Yuna and all the hard work you do in protecting and releasing all captured creatures like her. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤. Xxx

She has then been subjected to bombs and missiles going off all around her is absolutely heart breaking. She should never have been held in such captivity in the first place.
    To now have some semblance of freedom, to walk on grass for the first time, smell the fresh air, hear birds...Thank God for all those who go out of their way to rescue these beautiful souls x

It can also be interpreteded as _where_ _should_ _be_ which I expect is the inteded meaning - that is big cats should not be put in cages.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."
