    Circuses should be band we got wildlife preserves to view animals in the wild what kind of thrill is to stare at a caged animal sobbing cause he's stuck in a cage

    • @llamalady
      @llamalady 5 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      *wild animals in circusses should be banned, not necessarily the circusses themselves... cirque du soleil (and many other modern circusses) dont harm animals, they dont use animals in shows as its suposed to be :)

      As it should be. His spirit isn't broken, it's bruised. It's why they teach him to be a normal lion. He was sedated from the trip is why he's unsteady.

    Even though animals don't make the same expressions as humans, it's still easy to see the emotions in their eyes and body language. When the people crowded him at the airport you could tell he was nervous and confused; and when he saw the new enclosure, he had this look of happiness, and excitement. You could tell how much he wanted to investigate it as he stood at the door. Animals don't have to speak to tell us how they feel. Thank you guys for giving him this new home!

    He's just transferred to another cage, i thought simba will be taken into the wild like in the africa,there he can hunt, he can roar with pride,he can run, he can mingle with the other lions and animals there... But still happy he's doing great and i felt lil bit sad that i cant find a pride spirit from him because i know animals had a feeling like humans and i know that simba knew he's not totally free.... I salute those people who did everything for simba.... To put simba in a better place....

    Over countless numbers of wildlife around the world have been hunted, caught, & taken to other lands where they are nothing more than objects of value to somebody(ies). For all of these abducted animals, it just goes downhill from there, like this magnificent lion. Aside from the lucky few, most are used up until they're closer to death than they are to life. All because of us humans We are all guilty of playing some part, no matter how small, in causing and creating a continual growth in the numbers of endangered species today. I hope Simba has been surviving & living a full, happy life so far, and has been accepted into a pride.Peace.

    I really like and appreciate the celebration of Simba and his journey back home. I appreciate the fact that for once humanity wasn't focused on its own needs and desires, but rather a majestic creature that we so often demean for our own selfish entertainment.
