    They're laying on top of those boxes in the field looking out and thinking, "I never new life could be like this." You can tell those lions have been through it and see relief on their faces... God bless you all for your mission in rescuing circus animals.

      Controversial and straightup painful point ahead! You have been warned. Ducking seriously, though; save your souls, you don't need to know this.
      Actually trophy hunting provides a lot of money that governments use to fund wildlife reserves and sancuaries...
      Yeah, I know... It's downright awful and yes, I'd love it if there was another stable way to fund these institutions, but unless there's a radical change on a global scale, two statements will remain true:
      1- There will always be a need for wildlife sanctuaries.
      2- There'll be no shortage of immorally rich, irredeamable assholes creating a niche from which to suck funding.
      I should know, guys, I'm from Spain... Please, for your own good, don't look up what our former king was hunting in Africa when he had an accident more than a decade ago. Again, you've been warned. The world's not ducked up; people are.

      The Lion Whisperer is certainly very special. To have the bond that he has with his brood is a wonderful thing. As he say's, he is not their owner but their guardian. We can never truly own an animal but we can be their protector and give them the best life that we can and all of the love we have. It is very amazing and special when you have an animal that bonds with you and I mean really bonds with you. Not just depending on you for a home and food.

    When I was a kid, I walked pass a circus that had set up near my school. This circus still had animals as "performers".
    The government had outlawed using them in such a manner. But the local authorities had given them a free pass because these animals were considered to be too old to end up at a zoo.
    I walked up to a cage. And it was no bigger than a typical washing machine. Inside of it was a very old lion. Who was being mocked by other kids. And some were trying to get him to roar for them. But the lion just sat there. Probably hoping that that day would be his last.
    I never forgot how cruel we humans can be with animals. And as I grew up, that feeling only grew stronger as I still see animals being killed for sport or to "cure" cancer (shark fins).

      I used to enjoy the circus as a kid, not anymore though. Although, I had went to the UniverSoul Circus earlier this year before the Coronavirus happened with my father because my nephew wanted to see people perform, it was pretty entertaining until I've witnessed a guy who brought out a Zebra and had a whip and started smacking the ground to make the Zebra run laps around the enclosure while he did tricks and appeared to be shouting at it, the Zebra looked absolutely terrified, ears pinned back, eyes wide. I honestly don't look forward going to a circus ever again. If there were no animals at the circus, except maybe dogs, then it'd be fine.

      This is a lovely story. I watch a lot of Kevin Richardson vids and he has a warning for anyone donating to some organizations in South Africa and elsewhere. They "rescue and breed" these animals for canned hunting. They put the lions, tigers, whatever inside enclosures and "big white hunters" such as Little Donnie Douchbag can "hunt" the big animals for a huge fee. So do your research carefully before donating to organizations claiming to free animals.

      D Ross it is very sad that they hunt the animals on the sanctuaries, but all of that huge fee is then spent raising more animals and saving more animals. So as hard as it is to see them suffer, in some cases rich jerks paying to kill one is often better for the species as a whole.
