    These two lions are so happy when Kevin comes around. It brings a smile to my face to watch them play and the sounds they make.

    Rough start for the beautiful boys, but have flourished under Kevin/staffs care.
    Thank you for years of enjoyment from these brothers.

    I can not believe how much time has passed and I’ve watched every step of the way. I remember doing a happy dance when Kevin announced he was taking the brothers in. That was a huge deal at the time. They went from hell on earth to heaven for a Lion thanks solely to Kevin and the help of his team. Kevin is amazing!

  • @krisfrederick5001

    Hearing Kevin making the same sounds as when these beautiful beings were just cubs is absolutely endearing.

    George's grimace was the best, Yame is full of beans. So glad they are now in a place that really cares for them. They have turned into majestic cats.

    It's been an absolute pleasure to watch these two lions grow from cute and cuddly little tots into fierce and very handsome men.
    Just goes to show that you have the magic touch Kevin, you are a true wonder.
    To look at these two lions (without knowing their origins), you'd never know that their lives started off as badly as they did.

  • @Debra.Justice
    @Debra.Justice ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Thank you Kevin for saving these precious animals. Without your intervention I’m sure they would not have survived. I wish all wildlife could be saved. It breaks my heart to think of the many animals that need our help and protection. It’s comforting to know there are people like you to combat the evil deeds some people inflict on our animals. Btw, I’ve got the George and Yame t-shirt and I love it. God bless you my friend. Much love and respect from Tennessee USA. 🦁

  • @yvonaamariaa
    @yvonaamariaa ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I remember you calling them the two stinky brothers from Spain. I'm so glad that they ended up with you, Kev. You are probably the only person who would take them on, especially Georgie. Thanks for all you do for the animals in your care. I love seeing them with the beginnings of their gorgeous manes. Those Mohawk hair dos are so cute. In some of the clips you can really see Georgie do the hippy hippy shake. All in all they are two gorgeous male lions from Spain. I must have missed the episode with them in the water because I would have surely remembered seeing that one!

    Everyone involved in George and Yame's rescue are perfect models for future generations of lion preservationists. Though I do favor you Kevin, as you've poured your love onto them as a "parent" would. You've saved them from harm and sickness and love them unconditionally! With that I say-
    Happy Father's Day 💝

    I can't believe how big and strong George and Yame have become. Their manes are absolutely gorgeous! And the slow eye blinks they give you Kevin, melts the heart it does :) Beautiful cats that know they are really lucky to be at your sanctuary.

    George and Yame will always be SPECIAL to me because of their life they came from. Poor baby George suffered the worst. George has NEVER lost his little cub face with those eyes. I could tell George by his face. Live these boys❤

    Happy Birthday ❤George❤ and ❤Yame❤🎉🥳 ! George and Yame are absolutely gorgeous. They are both crowned with a superb mane. After going through hell, they grew up safely within the sanctuary. They now live a wonderful life surrounded by love and all the care they need. The shots from the drone are exceptional, especially when you find yourself in the middle of these two magnificent kings. An incredibly impressive moment for me! Thank you for this fantastic video❤😀!

    Great to see a look back on George And Yummy. Kevin is right to say they are lucky. Kevin took them on and everyone involved up to that point bailed on them when the medical bills started. Thank you Kev for your tireless work on behalf of all wildlife. Georgie is one of my favorites and I hope you'll incorporate a latter for him to load In the vehicle for walks as he ages given his injuries by the selfish people they started out with.

I've been watching them grow from little cubs to the majestic full grown males they are now. They might have had a tough start in life but they are incredibly lucky to have been found by your foundation. Thanks to you and everyone at TLW, they will get to have an incredible and full life.

    Thank you for rescuing these brothers.
    You do such important work giving as much of a natural life as possible to these big cats.
    George and Yame are such handsome boys, and so happy despite their beginning.
    I wish there were more places like yours that were able to rescue big cats.
    I've always said if I win the lottery, or in some other way get rich, buying a large swath of land and creating an animal rescue (and people rescue, to give people "work" experience and a reference, and a way to "get back on their feet" financially while they work at the rescue) would be my main goal. And setting it up to fund itself if there were no donors.
    Hopefully I still get to do that in my lifetime even if it's for a short time.
