This story tugs at my heart. I love animals.

Re: Christian the Lion
You made me weep. Thanks so much for sharing the video.
We are all connected in this Universe...How truly special when a Human animal has the Heart to share his/her Life with other beautiful Creatures...


Our Cats remind me of their Lion cousins... Lions are sooo beautiful.

Re: Christian the Lion
I just played this for everyone at work and we are all dabbing at our eyes with tissues. I love animals and the people who have passion and the utmost respect for these wonderful creatures.

Re: Christian the Lion
Love this video, especially where Christian puts his paw around one of the men in an embrace... they were not sure if he would recognise them but sure enough he did and even the lion keeper who took the men to see him was shocked!

Re: Christian the Lion
I fixed one of the vids above, for some reason I copied the same video twice. I love the vid where he hugs the blond when he is a cub. My cat does exactly that, when I pick him up he puts his front paws around my neck and his back legs wrap around my midsection. It is such a wonderful feeling.

Re: Christian the Lion
OMG, frocher, I played this vid for my husband last Night, & I was sobbing by the time we finished. Mini Cat leaves tomorrow to go to his new home...I wish we could keep them all, but somebody else needs his love, & things are *tight* here in too many ways....

Those lions remind me so much of the kitties, tho. I almost feel like crying just thinking of the video...

I wanted to thank you for providing me with a bit of a catharsis.

xxxCheryl Faith, who is going to watch a video from when Freddie Mercury was young...eek, that might make me cry, too....

PS You do know the song, "Born Free," & you've seen the movie entire?

Re: Christian the Lion
I remember watching this one a while ago. It's a real tear jerker.
