fostering a VERY BIG kitten
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14240681
(Two men in London in 1969 buy a lion cub from a department store and get him back to Africa... not the end of the story). As they say in the interview, no way would they do something like that now. They must have had a lot of money, but a fair bit of sense with it. The video from 2009 is amazing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I saw a TV program about that a few years ago. There was a scene where, maybe a year or so after the two guys had brought the lion to Africa to try to introduce him to the wild, they went back to see him. The lion approached them slowly, and then one of them called to him. He (the lion) raced toward him, and they had a lovely reunion, which was filmed and can now be seen on Youtube. (You can tell it's from the 70s by the two guys' hair and clothes.) I haven't seen a 2009 video - I'll have to go take a look at that. Joyce -- Who ever thought up the word "Mammogram"?

Thanks for posting the link, I'd lost it from my "Favorites" list when I changed to my new computer, and this gave me a chance to put it back. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
