LionWhispererTV aim is to raise awareness about The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
On this channel, The Lion Whisperer films the majority of his footage using a GoPro camera, allowing viewers to get as close as possible to the lions, leopards and hyenas at the sanctuary.
Kevin Richardson hopes to provide viewers insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and in turn, by watching the videos on the channel, viewers will be directly contributing to the conservation of these majestic animals.

Stay strong Kevin! Let us lend u part of all of us around the world🖐
Did #Askmeg mourning? She knows that Amy died?
Maybe name part of the sanctuary after Amy
That was so touching. Amy will be missed by so many but not as much as she will be missed by you and Meg. I hope Meg will get together with George one day. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life with these beautiful amazing lions. We love y'all.💋💓🐾 Rest in Peace beautiful baby girl Amy💓🌹God bless🙏...... I'm so happy you were able to be with her at the end.💓
So painful to watch😭💔☹️
"Daddy loves you" ... that is probably the shortest most meaning sentence that describes Kevins relationship with the cats. Its not just an animal.
InsaneTiger07 He is Daddy...he raised them from cubs and was the one that bottle fed them. He has indeed been their dad. No question about that. Meg definitely looks lost and trying to connect with others. Staying on the fence line next to Kevin says it all. She misses her sister very much and may be hoping for her return but it won’t happen. I love you all and want nothing but the best for you. My heart aches for Amy.. It happened quickly and came out of left field. 🦁❤️❤️🥰
I agree❤❤❤❤
With the hyenas too, don't forget the majestic Bongo.
Poor old Meg, she always had her sister by her side and the sudden loss of companionship definately left her a little bit lonely there.
Amy was an animal, start to finish. It's the word 'just' that is the problem.
" Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France
I can only agree completely with this statement!
" Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains un-awakened." - Anatole France!
-* That's an amazing quote too discover . Thank you for sharing that. It's so true and fitting for the past week or so...
@@j.b.9334 - I thought it was a good fit. Amy's death has left another hole in my heart.
Lupus Deum - Amen to that! 🦋✨
Incredibly true statement which sums up beautifully our relationships with our fellow animals, Amy's spirit and soul will NEVER disappear Kevin, God bless you.
When Amy died, I cried..little did I know that 4 months later I would lose my husband suddenly to advanced pancreatic cancer.. and now I feel like Meg must feel without her life-long partner. My brothers have been my "Kevin" in my life since he died. We all need a "Kevin" in our lives to love us. If you know someone who is hurting, please be their "Kevin". Bless you Kevin for showing us how important it is to be consistent in the way we love.
Many prayers to you!!! May GOD give you the strength and comfort and healing and peace you need 🙏 I stand with you 💪💪💪🙏🙏😌😌😭😭😔😔😔
Damn
My condolances, Kathy. Sorry for your loss.
was with my mom Taking care of her for three months ,From her being first told that there's nothing that we can do ,,you have cancer Everywhere throughout your abdomen,, Till her death I was with her every second taking care of her till her last breath...Cancer is such a horrible thing, Three months of slowly deteriorate ,,bones breaking along the way .Her last words said to me was about a week before she passed, Exact last words"" I will miss you like crazy,I don't want to go...Then she was in and out of consciousness throughout the week but i made sure she had no pain I kept giving her oxy Under her tongue when she would start moaning in pain..., When she tryed to look at me. I noticed her eyes turned completely white..Then a day or so before her death ,I started noticing a change in her skin color a sign of organ failure.. I just sensed her death was coming that night so I made sure I stayed up with her every second ....then she took her last breath.... I didnt shed one tear,,, I just sat with her i was and even now i'm Heartbroken ,sad ,and very relieved, Traumatized and forever changed ,,,but yeah if I had to do it all over again I would ,,it was an honor to be there for my mother ,, Till the end.. I was so relieved she was no longer in pain... I didn't cry at all ,,for many months...Until certain memories of her would pop up... Rip To everyone and every soul lost ,,,we will never forget all the memories we made... Her death happened a few years ago ...Me and my 3 sisters we're always pretty close.. After my moms death I'd say five months after her death... we split all the assets 4 ways.. we No longer talk ,Pretty long story to type out in a comment... life never goes the way you think..Subscribe to my channel like my few videos of me and my dog feel free to leave comments ,I'll try my best to answer you or we could just chitchat and make friends.....Either way thanks for listening to me rant
God Bless you Kathy. I hope you are doing better. I’m so sorry about your hubby. You’re right……we all need a Kevin in our life!
Netflex should be doing series about this man here than the multitude of trash they are putting out.
Yes I totally agree Kevin's life with his Lions should be documented
I totally agree..
First, it's called Netflix. Second, why are you complaining? You talk about the content on Netflix like you're forced to watch it. You don't even have to sit through teasers, trailers and promos for said 'trash'.
You're complaining about the content on Netflix like the only content they _should_ have is to your liking. It's such a selfish, hollow way to be. Be thankful you have such an abundance of entertainment at your fingertips, _including_ access to a _free_ RUclips channel about a South African animal sanctuary. A little less griping and a lot more gratitude.
Sry but I don't think Kevin got low enough IQ for them to care to record any docu on his pride...
This why they went to Merica... a perfect place where dumbness and arrogance goes over common sense.
I am very happy He is Not on Netflix.
I’m a 45 year old man and I broke down crying when he said “ daddy loves you “ how many times I have said that to my cats and dogs. They become your family. My heart breaks for you Kevin Richardson.
Not gonna lie I cried too
NoWookieBushBabyUgh mine too, it was so sad!😢
I just did the same, can't imagine his pain. Unbearable, there aren't words. They become your babies.
Yeah me too
I have so much respect for a man who can show emotional depth and compassion. It takes a REAL man to be able to cry..
The fact Amy waited for you... I truly believe animals can decide when they're ready. We lost our horse of 33 years last year. She waited until the whole family was home until she lay down and didn't get up again. We were all there. She was lion coloured :) The paw/hoof prints they leave on our hearts... thank you for being so candid.
:( my eyes are sweating
People also wait to talk to or see a particular person before they pass.
I'm so sorry you lost your horse, you must have treated he or she really well to get 33 awesome years with him or her
People often wait also
Sarah so sad 33 years just remember memories God Bless
Is everyone watching this crying their eyes out. ?
I am so sorry for the pain u have over the lost of ur friend.
Thanks Tracey 🙏
pretty much ;(
I am bawling like a baby. So heart wrenching. I do think Meg is sad from Amys passing. She misses her Amy.
Yes... 😢😢😢💔
@@LionWhispererTV Yes I am crying!!! So emotional and beautiful!!
I ave lost pets that were members of our family and it is a heart wrenching experience every time. Something I have learned is that do not let anyone put a limit on the time you need to grieve your loss. You will know when it is enough time. ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
I’m glad you were there in the end Kevin. If you weren’t... I don’t think you would have been able to forgive yourself. Abundant Prayers Kevin!
May Amy RIP and may Kevin and his team cope with this tremendous loss.
Snowy The Great & Meg
Thank goodness Meg and Kevin have each other. They are lost in sadness, but not lost alone. They both sense each others sadness. It is overwhelming to lose someone we love but they are both very blessed in that they have each other. I adore animals. It's just devastating saying good bye. Meg will need Kevin now and he will not let her down. My heart is with both of them. 😥
@Snowy The Great - Yes, the team! I completely forgot about them, but i'm sure they'll miss Amy just as much as Kevin! I think you are the first to mention the team, your heart is in the right place.
@@Betty823 Thanks. Knowing myself how hard it is to actually lose a pet, a best friend. My heart goes to all.
She’s always had her sister as a companion; after 16 years, I can’t imagine the loneliness and sadness. They are smart animals. She may very well have seen it coming. Prayers for Meg :(
Beanie 89 lovely comment! ❤️❤️
Meg probably spent a couple of days calling for her. It breaks my heart to think of it. I remember Kevin talking about how Vayetse grieved when his brother Mfumo died; that's what led to putting him with Jinny & Livy. Those two naughty sisters helped Vayetse become a happy, snappy lion again. Meg is too old & set in her ways to have a new companion. I worry about her. I hope Kevin is able to spend a little extra time with Meg.
Katherine Uribe wow that’s amazing. Grief is grief for a human and a lion. It hurts regardless. I feel for Meg and Kevin
@@KatherineUribe-1 wab cubs?
I've read some animals can sense sickness or cancer some can even detect a seizure before it even happens. Animals are amazing.
It's amazing how sensitive animals are before they die, by waiting to say their last goodbye's before they pass.
The fact that she waited for Kevin to return. She knew, she held on for him.😭💔
When he sat with Meg and said "Daddy loves you." My little heart broke 💔 it goes to show that these lions are not just animals. They're not just friends, either. They're family.
They are the REALS HUMANS...PERIODE!!!!!!!!!
it really makes me cry. She waited for Kevin as if she wanted to say "thanks for everything you did for us".
You felt the loss from the passing of this lion as strongly as the loss of a family member. I could see it in your eyes. My friend, you are doing exactly the job you were put on earth to do.
a job isn't a job when it is what you love and Kevin LOVES his felines and all the animals at the sanctuary. He is gifted and that has led him to doing this job yes but more than that he is living a dream. The gorillas had Dian Fossey and the lions and hyenas have Kevin Richardson. We as humans are blessed for the connection he has to these predatory wild animals in which he is able to show and teach us so much about them which we may not ever know. Thank you Kevin for following your heart and listening to that voice within. Blessings, love and light.✌💜🙃🙏
What an honor to have beautiful Amy wait to say goodbye. You have her the peace she needed:) What a beautiful life she had because of you.
She knew. She knew she needed you, she knew you needed to say goodbye, she knew she needed to say goodbye and thank you at the end and she needed to hear it was ok to go.
Meg will be just fine, she has you and everyone else there to love her.
You're a remarkable, incredible man Kevin and we are with you and sending love. ❤
purpledragonfly4 I agree....well said.
She didn't know when you would be home, only that you would come back. Beceause you always had come back to her. And she was right, you did come back and helped her to pass.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤
😢😢😢
I cried when he said
The lion whisperer is the definition of unconditional love
Read this book, you will be amazed.

It is hard when you lose any animal, but so glad Amy waited to see you before she passed, now she is at peace you gave her a good life & I'm sure Amy knew that. RIP Amy.
Rest in peace Amy. You will forever be loved and forever be missed. Hugs to you, Kevin.
Heartbreaking! Not only for your loss, Kevin, but also, for Meg and her need to be with her kind... 17 years with a companion that never went away, now all the sudden; gone.
Hope she and Jorge do get to spend time together, and maybe this time, perhaps the pairing will start a new friendship for Meg.
Ditto, Al. I can’t imagine what Meg is going through losing Amy. Kevin, you’re doing an amazing job with not only Meg, but with all the other lions in the sanctuary. I’d like to see how Meg and Jorge go together so at least Meg has company with another lion 🦁
I cried when he said that Amy was just waiting for him to get back to say her last goodbye .. But i cried even harder when i heard him say "daddy loves you" 😭😭😭 ...
When....? Timestamp?

God bless you Kevin for all that you do, not just for lions but for all animals. This video made me cry. Just thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you do for these lions.
You have the heart of a lion sir, and you have my complete respect and admiration. You are also a very lucky man to have such magnificent animal friends. I envy you.
Thanks Jerry, appreciate that!
Im just so glad Kevin got the chance to say goodbye to Amy. She waited for him with every last bit of strength she had. That’s love. 💕
I had an experience of a very close friend waiting for me. He had been in ICU in a coma and the family allowed me to go say goodbye. I walked in, got a hand squeeze back. Less than 3 minutes and the monitors went nuts and he took his last breath. I don't know how beings know, but they do. I am so grateful to have felt the bonds of which sentient beings are capable 🙏.
I sensed that Meg knew Amy was very ill when she allowed Amy to sit with Kevin first. Also her roar along with Amy's roar during the video about Amy's illness was heartbreaking.
your so right kathy the roar said it all
I cried watching them roar together like that!
In which video was this?
@@patriciab7137 it is in the video Devastated about Amy's illness.
Yes
Hi Kevin, watching your videos, foremost of your life, connection , bond , love for these incredibly beautiful lions is unequivocally fascinating, leaving a alluring feeling of awe and wonderment and a respectful level of envy and jealousy. Firstly I am so so sorry for undoubtedly the most heart wrenching loss you endured over Amy's passing. Huge hugs.If I can candidly share with you a tragic passing in my life over 24 years ago. My beautiful mother had passed and in my culture this is a 3 day ceremony. On the third day, the day of my mums burial you could imagine the heightened and tense emotions. On awaking that morning the weather was horrendous, cold snaps and torrential rain bare in mind the weather up till this morning was sunny and fine. We were worried as my youngest brother had still to get home with other family members and were travelling together in this weather to make it. We couldn't set up for the amount of family friends and guest we were expecting, pre made arrangements were literally going a rye and things just weren't working according to plan. This is the reason Im sharing my story. My brother finally arrived. They battled through the most extreme weather to make it. As soon as he stepped out of the car at the end of a very packed drive way, the sky literally without exaggeration opened up with the sun beaming through. We all looked in awe at one another all sharing the exact thought that my mum was not leaving without saying goodbye to my younger brother. The sibling she spoilt the most. So with respect for Amy sadly she did hang on and wait for you, and to her, her journey forward wasn't happening without your approval or at the least not without your presence. Incredible relationship and a lot of LOVE....
Broke my heart you can see that Meg misses Amy, you can see it in her eyes, and the way she looks at you can see that she loves you, xxx RIP AMY xxxx
I remember Keanu Reeves answering when asked what happens when we die: „I know that the one’s who love us will miss us“.
We miss you Amy.
I've never seen Kev speechless and unable to convert his thoughts into words like he was in this vid. Shows how much Amy really meant to him.
Mean to him she still does! Gone but never forgotten!
I haven’t “welled up” since I was a child.
Kevin you are a very special human being💕
Thanks John! 😊
“A parent should never have to bury their children” -LOTR Rohan King
Amy princess ... gone but never forgotten.
Maybe Meg isn’t grieving in the way Kevin has seen in The past because Amy made Meg aware of her imminent end. Even wild animals are aware of death, I believe. Thank you for being who you are, Kevin Richardson. May many blessings come your way.
Your right animals do know when its time
Humans are arrogant to assume animals don't have empathy and they underestimate animals intuitive Powers. Even Kevin, with all his experience, has said that he wonders what goes on in their heads..
I think you're right. I remember seeing a video about 3 animal best friends. 2 of them knew long before their owners that the other was going to die. They were at peace when the poor thing passed away.
Grtechen Targee I think Meg knew Amy was sick. I wish Meggie had a companion. When Kevin said she was at the fence line watching Bongani, Suja and George my heart broke 💔 a little. Kevin is the only other pride member she has. 😢
Animals are much more in tune with the circle of life than we are. I know she was waiting for you to say “I love you” and “goodby for now…”. You are a good man to share this with us.
OMG...this relationship Kevin has with the lion(esses) is so delicate and inexplicable. I can feel the pain of his loss. I choked up and wept too. Amazing how in the end we (humans and nonhumans) all are bonded together.
I can´t imagine how hard losing Amy has been for Kevin and Meg, cause even I get teary eyed watching this video. Great, that Meg gets to interact with lions next to her like George every day, so she doesn´t feel that lonely. It´s so touching to hear how Amy waited for Kevin to come home, so she can let go.
Amy was a special girl.she waited for your return.she wouldnt leave youvwithout saying goodbye. God bless her,
Now she’s part of the queens of the past
Amy is now Megs guardian angel. She is pain free now. Amy is in Heaven running free with new animal friends. You gave her so much love. RIP sweet Amy
And eating the most delicious ones.........:)
I think anyone who has owned a pet would understand your grief or has empathy.
I cry for loss of your friends and I am so thankful they have the bond they do with you. You have given each of them the best lives possible!
Beautifully said Uriel 🦁💗🇦🇺🌈
This was absolutely heartbreaking especially Amy not letting go before she could be with Kev one last time - made me cry so hard. I do hope Meg will connect with one of the other lions so she's no longer alone and I think George is actually quite a good choice. As Kev said as hard as it is life goes one but it's also true that we will never forget Amy as she was one of a kind and so is Meg. Thanks for making this video for us and sharing your grief. Love you all so much.
Morgan Myers There is Charlie, but he did said George. 💛
@@thebloodrose96 oh thankyou for telling me that.. I had never heard of Charlie. News to me.. 🦁💙
Yes, he talked about George and Yame, the two cubs he rescued from Spain five years ago. Well, they were cubs at that time, now they both are beautiful grown lions, even if George still suffers from health issues because of how he was mistreated when he was young.
However, even if Meg feels lonely, I think she's too old now to be put with another lion or introduced to a new group. So, I'm not sure about what Kevin and his team will decide, but a little bit like Thor (the one who passed away a few years ago), she may have to stay by herself because there is no other solution...
With her showing interest in George & vice versa, perhaps they will bond. Sadly, these things take time. And all Kev can do is spend extra time with Meg. Like the loss of a loved one, Meg will heal in time. And so will Kev.😭
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia hi there.. I had the same mindset as you until I heard Kevin say Amy wants to be with her own kind now that her sister is gone. Georgie is such a special Lion and he has endured great suffering and probably has alot of compassion. My prayer is that since Lions are adaptable, that Meg will have Georgie as her new " boyfwend".. Lol Valentines Day is coming up.. I hope romance will be in the air for Georgie and Meg and that Yame will welcome her.. Blessings 💙🙏🦁
That's the cost of loving something. When it's gone, there'll forever be a hole in your heart.
Boy oh Boy... Amy was so lucky to have Kevin in her life all of these years. I feel that we're all lucky to have Kevin, too! Cheers to Amy.. wherever she is today... looking down on us all. Thank you Kevin.... from Baltimore, USA!
Man. The love of this guy for those amazing animals runs deep.
My husband just passed last month so I'm certainly grieving with both of you, for his loss and for Amy's. We loved watching your videos together and he loved seeing your interactions with all the animals. It was actually one of the things that made him want to eventually open our own wildlife rescue here in the US. I know that if he can, he'll keep Amy company for you. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss Adelaide. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely sorry for your loss Adelaide. Your husband is forever with you just notice the signs around you. Sending strength your way.
I'm so sorry for your loss Adelaide. You're in my thoughts.
I still can’t believe Amy is gone, she was so precious.. sending you the strength and love you deserve to deal with this huge loss Kevin, Meg and the rest of the team. Rust zacht sweet Amy.
Rust zacht? XD, Engelse hebben geen idee wat dat betekend.
Maar idd rust zacht Amy❤
My heart breaks right beside yours Kevin at the passing of Amy. I obviously didn't have the relationship with her that you did, but the connection between the two of you was there to see and feel and through the videos. Thank you for sharing it all with us. May you find peace and comfort moving forward. 🙏
11:30 looks like Meg knew Kevin was sad and she was comforting him 🦁🦁
That was an old video of Amy
@@ikigai47 I think it was meg actually she had the little tuft of fur near her left ear although I maybe wrong 😔
@@Emily-ot2tj Your right this is Meg with Kevin in this video talking about how they are both doing...there was a little snippet clip of Meg and Amy Kevin put in this video of the girls running towards him while he was on the ground with them. Otherwise this is all Meg with Kevin in this Meg update video. YES that's how you tell Meg is her tuft of hair that sticks up by her right ear. Other wise I could NEVER tell Meg and Amy apart.
Thank you for this important update Kevin. I was so upset about Amy and also Meg having to go on without her sister.
Here is what I observed:
1) Meg seems even more affectionate toward Kevin. She needs you & having more visits with her is very likely giving her the extra attention & love she is craving after Amy's passing.
2) She is doing better than I expected so that is giving all of us more peace of mind.
3) I felt from Meg that she had the time to adjust bc Amy's death was not sudden, and I am sure she smelled the cancer in her sister so instinctively she sensed impending death.
*My question is: So was Amy in her own enclosure towards the end? If so that allowed Meg more time to adjust to being without her sister.
It is truly remarkable & a testiment of Amy's love for you Kevin that she waited until your return before going to sleep forever. She needed to say goodbye one last time. I do believe our precious animals go to Heaven to await their human campanions. Thank you Kevin for this lovely video. I know it had to be difficult to show your emotional pain from this loss, but appreciate it bc it gave me closure and relief that Meg is doing ok. ❤️
That’s a good sign that Meg is starting to feel something for George and George for Meg; I can’t help but hope that maybe she can stay with George and Yame....I just can’t stomach the thought of her staying alone...😞
I agree with you.. 🦁
@ The Real Deal... that would be great if Kevin were to introduce George and Yame to Meg, and it would be even better if the three can coexist without any confrontation. Only time will tell...
Yeah, maybe the boys wouldn't mind an ol' granny hanging around. Sounds like George is a good kid; hopefully Yami won't mind.
You can’t stomach the thought of her staying alone?
@@RosesofWillows she sure doesn't look like an old Granny..! She has a Powerful Soul and a Majestic Precence. They should be honored to be in her Presence.
You are so blessed to have this totally loving relationship with your cats. God has given you the ability "to talk with them" and show them love. When Amy waited for you until you came home, believe me, she knew why she waited. Dogs will wait at a door even to their demise. Kev, You've seen a little piece of heaven. Thanks for sharing it and God bless you.
I forgot how much it hurts to lose an animal you love until this video
Meg and Amy, two magnificent girls who have touched my heart.
Been thinking a lot about Meg and how she is doing. She’s lucky to have you there with her during this painful time. Rest in Peace Amy, beautiful soul.
I’ve lost both parents, my wife and daughter in the last year and now have cancer. Cherish every day!
My god, sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry. You’re so strong hope you’re still ok
I hope you heal. 💜
I'm so glad that Amy was able to wait and say goodbye to you .
I can see how much love Amy and Meg have for you and you them. Thank you for all you do for these beautiful Animals 💗
'Be careful humanizing lions' - now I have even more respect for this guy ! Not only did he manage to get to tame lions , he actually realized lions are 'tamed' not because they feel 'human emotions' . His capacity to understand wild animal emotions is pretty impressive !
Dimka Lie This is something I never thought of before until he said it. ♥️💕💔
she wasn't fully tamed though richardson himself said so
There's no such thing as a 'tame' lion. They have a unique relationship with Kevin because it's a bond he nurtured from the time they were cubs. He's as familiar to them as a pride mate would be. But, they're far from tame. Search for a video of tourists visiting his sanctuary and see how differently the lions react to strangers. They're not tame by a long shot.
I have friends who do similar work to what Kevin does and they are... well it is hard to explain. Animals just like them. Even the wolverine on their property tolerates them which is saying a lot. Horses, big cats, deer, raptors, skunks, badgers... it doesn't matter they all see the one particular person differently.
So they are not tame but for the right people they will trust even if you have not grown up with them.
For the right person who carries them selves in the right way. He does not expect them to be human but accepts them for who they are. Most humans can't even do that with other humans without an agenda. He accepts their emotional life without trying to filter it through his human expectations.
Unfortunately those people who can do this are thin on the ground. And most of them are women. Everyone thinks they have it, that bond with animals, but in reality it takes a person who is in many ways not cut out for human society. Humans are many things but among those things they are casually cruel in ways most people never even realize. I am not saying that to be harsh it is just part of being the kind of primate we are. The vast majority of people don't have the awareness of their actions and thoughts that are needed to get non-domesticated animals to trust them. It can be learned but part of the learning is putting aside the idea that you want to get close to an animal for your own sake and that is hard to shed. But they can read it on you like it was printed in neon colors and you can't fake it. Setting aside ego is not a human strength and it shows in your body language in ways you can't control.
Like I said it is hard to explain. Even seeing how it works i can't do it and probably never will be able to. That is why you should never expect to bond with big cats like these and you should not try. You either have it or you don't and you should assume you don't.
I'm not even attached to these animals and within 3 minutes i'm crying about a lion i've never met.
Now think about the ass holes waiting to blast them with ar 15 with big grin on their f-ing face
Empathy and sympathy are powerful emotions aye.
It just shows your a good person and you have a heart
Yoh! The tears flowing out of my eyes, it makes me realise that they are nothing compared to the amount of pain that you, meg, your family and the whole team is feeling. May Amy rest in peace💜
AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALL DRUING THIS MOURNING OR GRIEVING PERIOD.
Kevin: how did you know I'd come back? Amy: because my dad promised me...
Ah, interstellar, that sentence hurt a lot more than I would’ve expected for a video like this
@@Numbuu Heck, at the "Daddy loves you" comment, I even had this "the daughter out-ages her father" thing from Interstellar going through my mind.
The Daddy Loves You had me crying harder than I was...Very hard for me to watch still, But I have to revisit these so I can see Amy...I MISS HER, yet didn't even know HER yet the impact of her is magnified thru all the videos...to where you felt you DID know her and she matters to us....as Meg and Kevin...seeing them hurt makes me hurt for them. Kevin's loss and poor Megs are unattainable to us, because they are not on the same spectrum. This is therapeutic to just come to the videos...not to watch them but to read the comments and realize I am not the only one who misses Amy who we didn't know her personally. But , Kevin made sure we knew as much as we could, and for that I will always be GRATEFUL to Kevin❤
Odd that the passing of an elderly lion on another continent feels like a void in my own life. Amy, your majesty, beauty, and devotion to Meg & Kevin stays treasured in hearts around the globe as our treasures, your inheritance...and we all wish we could have scratched your chin.
Well said, Exactly
Yes, we do.
1:02
When we think we're saving these majestic animals, I feel that they're rather saving us. I wish you well, Kevin.
So very well said. Thank you for the reminder
An animal’s loss is always - always - heavy. Whether it is a pet or a “wild” animal, whether we have lived with them or not. Cause they are so pure at heart and soul, so attuned to nature and its laws, that when it is time for us to part with them (even temporarily, as I choose to believe), the part within us which is raw and pure and natural (and away from the “rationalities” of life) recognises the significance of this loss. And it hurts like hell. “Till we meet again”, that’s what I think. In any form or shape or time or space. The bond that love creates is the strongest bond. And it is never broken.
True
Once a bond is formed with any animal it remains for life, as even in their passing they remain forever in your heart. The relationships & bonds that you have formed & have with your lions even your leopards & jackals is just phenomenal. So glad Meg is doing ok & keeping well. Wishing you all the best. Stay safe & well. Big hugs to you all from here in the UK
We need more Kevin Richardson's in this world!!!
I too have leukemia and it's a brutal process. Amy's passing brought tears to my eyes as well. It's amazing the effect these videos can have on us. Prayers.
Prayers offered for you Chet U....
Prayers for you mate. Stay strong♥️♥️♥️
Hope you get well soon 🙏
Wow chet I can't begin to understand what it feels like to go through cancer, but I do know it's very painful. I hope you get well soon. Bless you🙏
Chet U fight like hell. fight when you think you can’t anymore. Hope you beat it. I will also be praying for you.
Even the tremendous grief is a gift....a testament of his deep and loving relationship with these animals.
It doesn’t matter if you know animals personally or the animals that you’ve been watching online, they take a piece of your heart when they pass away.
I’m so sorry for your loss of Amy. Both you and her have taught us so much about these giant cats. Thank you Kevin!!😔💗
Omg, I cried watching this at the part when you talked about Amy waiting for you to come before she passed, she waited for her dad to say her final goodbye bc it would break your heart if she passed without you getting to say goodbye.
I’ve been watching all your videos from the beginning and it felt as if theses lions are a part of my life vicariously.
Meg seems more somber from her body language. Are you gonna try to introduce her to yami or any other lions so that she’s got a mate when humans aren’t around?
Also, THANK YOU are all your hard word and dedication to save these lions and give them the best life possible! Thank you for everything you do may Allah bless you with good health and wealth and keep you safe! Lots of love, Mr.Richardson! ❤️

He is buddhist📿
@@angryyoungman66 Why not ? Just because he's Caucausin he doesn' have to be Jew.😘
@@angryyoungman66 okay, and why would you assume he is muslim or not muslim? thats his life, this is about animal conservation and i love him for all his hardwork and dedication that most others would not even do!
R.I.P Amy, Never Forgotten.
All animals are telepathic. Picture telepathic. They think and feel with all senses of their entire body and much more discipline than us. Beautiful sentiments in this video. Blessings to you and Meg. Amy said Thank you for giving her a peaceful life faithfully.
Seriously crying right now. This reminds me so much of when I lost my cat last year. They know when it's time, and they let you know. All cats, including big cats, are beautiful and incredible animals that can be some of your best friends. Rest in peace Amy
Man this is a tuff one. I fell in love with Meg and Amy the second I found this channel almost 2 yrs ago. I can only imagine how you all there feel. My heart breaks for Kevin, but I’m sure he’s at peace knowing he gave her the best life full of love, attention, and happiness. Meg definitely sensed Kevin’s sadness and tried to comfort him. The bond he has with the lions is unexplainable. Rip Amy Lioness you are truly loved and will always be in my heart ❤️🦁🧡
It's comforting knowing that Amy has peacefully passed from a life filled with joy and love. Makes it more satisfying to know she couldn't have asked for anything better. Much love
Ah kev, your souls were entwined and they will always be. Thinking of you at this sad time.
And thank you for all that you do for these amazing animals.
The world needs more people like you. xx
The greatest cure for the loss of a loved one is the introduction of someone new. God bless Amy. God bless you Kevin for everything you do.
She is a proud and intelligent lady. She knows AMY has passed. She knew AMY was ill when she roared to the other lions in the sanctuary in your last video with Meg and Amy. Yes she enjoys your visits even more now. I’m sure she will let you know if she gets lonely, but I think she is fairing very well. She is a beautiful lioness. Thanks for this beautiful video.❤️🦁
They way he was talking about Amy I truly felt every single word and I just cried my eyes out 💔idk if anybody felt this way but I did , rip beautiful Amy
Yes Gold Gold. So many of us feel that same way-glad you posted...
Gold Gold yes, I had tears running down my face!
The video ended a few mins ago and im still struggling to stop the tears
I sobbed my eyes out 💔😢
+1...tears cant stop. specially when you had the experience left behind by loved ones.. family member, spouse or your pet.
This is pure LOVE between man and animals 💝 🙏🏻♥️☀️
Such a beautiful relationship & bond Kevin has with all of the animals there at his sanctuary. And what a beautiful person Kevin is. Sending hugs and prayers to you Kevin and to Meg during this difficult time. 😥💔🙏
I’m in complete tears....love you, this channel, all the babies, and miss AMY to pieces....thank you for sharing your amazing life with us!!
It’s like he lost his daughter 😭
God I’m bawling just listening to this. Poor Kevin. I can’t imagine how painful this must’ve been for him & his family. God bless him
This is quote a hard video to watch...the loss of Amy is palpable and visible in both you and Megs demeanor....we're truly indebted to the 22 years of hard work you've put into the Sanctuary and to your team and of course to the beautiful animals ❤
I can relate to the grieving even if my friend was a house cat. 18 yrs together creates a very special bond. I miss him every day.
Treat your friends like this man treats his animals and you will find loyalty.
Great comment, the world would be a better place for sure.
You will only get this type of pure love from an animal sadly
The problem is getting your friends to treat you the way Meg and Amy treat Kevin, as if you are the most important thing in their lives. He is their father; they are/were his daughters.
"You are the funniest girl. Look at you, beautiful. Daddy loves you."
This was hard to watch, so sad, but bitter sweet. Amy had a great life, thank you Kevin for giving her that chance to flourish. Thank you for sharing these beautiful cherished memories!
I 100% believe Amy did hold on until Kevin returned before being able to let go. My fiance's 19 year old cat Gigi went into a spiral in the span of a week, but seemed to rally some the next week. We were all home that week with the exception of my fiance's father; the DAY he came home she said hello to him, I was even telling him she was making small improvements which was encouraging. However she went completely downhill again in a matter of hours. We had to let her go the next day. They had her since she was an 8 week old kitten, and we all have no doubt she held on until all of her family was home so she could say goodbye.
Animals understand so much and care so much about all of their "pack mates", it's insane. Humans included. Let the happy memories of Amy carry you through these tough days, Kevin.
Amy has no regrets, she was among the luckiest lions ever ! So is Meg....and so are you Kevin!!!!
You're right, but she is still gone. The physical part. Also every time he looks at Meg. 🌷⚘🌷
I wasn’t able to see your videos for a few years and today I came back and came across this sad news about Amy passing. I loved them both Meg and Amy and feeling really heart broken after getting to know it
Kevin, you are doing amazing job with the lions and all of the wild animals in your care. Thank you so much for sharing because I miss Amy so much because they helped me with my depression.
After Amy gone and literally crying through out the video. I just reliased I have wasted so much of money on useless things such as ciggerates and stuffs. Maybe its time to put them in some good use.
Really I missed seeing both big cats coming together, it was just like something is missing :(
But its life and has to go on. Wishing luck for you and all your lovely animals :)
Meg misses her pal. That's just real, not just a human thing. Every living being has emotions .
Erin Schultz almost every living thing has emotions. 75% of human beings are a waste empty trash can
@@carlesc5497 that's 3/4 of the population I'm sure you would be included in that.
lukky Khan unfortunately im not.
So true, the love you have for an animal is special, different than for a human. Animals give non conditional, non judgemental pure love. Humans are unable to do that.
Do insects have emotions?
i revisit this video from time to time, when i see a video about meggy. meg and amy were the first lions that introduced me to kevin richardson. and they will always have a special place in my heart.
My deepest and sincere condolences to you and the team. Amy was an exceptional character, and will be greatly missed. Thank you for the amazing work that you do, in protecting and allowing these beautiful animals to live in as much of a natural environment as possible. Bless you and your team. 🙏🏾
I am so glad you were with Amy at the end of her journey through this life. And I am grateful that Meg has you to look out for her future interests. I hope George and Meg are able to bond enough for them to share an enclosure so Meg is no longer alone. She is too much of a social butterfly to not have a companion with her constantly. Bless you Kevin for the love and care that you and your staff show these magnificent animals. 💖🙏🦁🙏💖
Thank you Kevin. They, Meg and Amy are your babies. They are not just lioness, You raised them from pups. They are you and you are they. 17 years the emotions and love intertwined. The absence is real and the loss immeasurable. I know with all my heart that Meg knows Amy is gone. I know she knew Amy was sick because when Meg stood up and let out the mournful cry at the end of the Video where u found out the bad news, it just spoke volumes to my heart. We love you and all the beautiful animals in your care. Every time I see Meg I will always, always see Amy.
My cat died a year ago, after more than 20 years together, while I was petting her and crying, I know exactly how you feel. Nothing can replace them, a year passed and I still cry sometimes, Rip beautiful animals, you brought us nothing but joy and love💗😿
