I don’t know DW, should we?

- the solutions business…” ;)

There’s is that, but I figure you would still be technically ‘adopting a lion’, while remaining ‘King of the Jungle’, you see.

p.s. DW, fyi – it’s called “thinking out loud”… :)

DW, now don’t wreck this inter-species love-fest with one of your snarky, cynical comments!

Oh, come on DW! These people are too sentimental! Just ask Roy what he thinks of cuddling up with one of these man-eaters! Get real, DW!

Now, now. Interspecies bonding is very important and if we had cuddled up with more sabre-tooth lions, why that species might still be around with us!

Good riddance DW! Anything big enough to eat us should either be in a zoo, or mounted on a trophy wall!

Oh, you’re hopeless! I am going out to find a cuddly carnivore to make friends with!

I hope you’ve executed your advanced directive DW!

I was concerned about the animal’s welfare and the continual PETA protests.

Animal Planet is ONE of my fav channels and there is a lot of animal rescue programming. The type that that LindyLou sent is a sample of the latest type depicting returning animals to the wild. If you are not familiar with big cat expert Dave Salmoni, check out,’Tiger Week’, if you get a chance, about a three year project teaching two zoo raised Bengals, Ron adn Julia, how to hunt, kill, and live in the wild
-in South Africa, no less.

A great story with yet another happy ending-full of possibility.
