THANK YOU immensely from the bottom of my heart. Tenny

    I'm so jealous of Kevin. It's interesting to see the love these big beastly killas have for him. I've always been impressed at how affectionate lions are with their pride mates, then to see them be like that with a human is an even more awesome sight to behold. Lucky bastard Kevin.

      I really thought that it was obvious with the fish remark but your right, next time i am sarcastic i will attach a link to a site containing all the information one would need to decipher the sarcasm i lay before you my Unknown Prince. Never again will I let my ignorance and pride hinder me from presenting myself in a matter that will please even the most humble of minds, for in this day and age, a man is only worth what he can present and the manner that that man chooses to present it in. For centuries we dueled in the mist of confusion that laid thick and dark over the lands and having this illusion divide the sanity of our fellow humans in a way that makes their brains function with abnormal characteristics, so it makes it in a way our duty to be there and always have the right arsenal of words to trigger and enjoy the effects of.

      "anything pretty much", name something us humans haven't killed? It's a sad world we live in, if I'm honest. So much hate towards our own species, yet animals always find something in some of us that they admire, trust and love unconditionally, like a dog :).... or in this case, a Lion.

    I watched a white lion Charlie movie today. During the movie, Charlie made me laugh and cry. In the caption after the movie, I heard that you were teaching with a lion. I learned your love and affection for animals through TH-cam. I wish there were more people like you in the world. I am doing a small job of caring for street cats in a small country in Korea, but I hope everyone in the world will not abuse animals. I'm rooting for you!

      I would like to thank everyone who has shown solidarity. I knew I couldn't be alone, and every plus of solidarity has brought a moment of happiness into my life.
      Since any solution to this problem will require that which makes the world go around, and since so few of us have it anymore, perhaps we should focus on developing and presenting a plea to those who do have money.
      My clear and present understanding over the last few years has been this: if it makes a buck, it will happen, like it or not, up to destroying our "nest". If it doesn't make a buck, it will never, ever happen, no matter how much we need it, right up to saving the world itself. It won't happen unless it's profitable to do so. This is what we have done to ourselves. And to the innocent creatures that had no voice in the game.
      This game is rigged. How is it not everyone has had enough? So many still root for it. Think our system gives everyone a fair chance. Perhaps, if you are human, white, male, and from a wealthy family to start with. These magnificent cats are none of the above.
