      That's what Stone Age conservatives said about wolves once too.
      And then we made dogs of them wolves.
      Domesticating lions would take too long for contemporary generations to reap the cuddly benefits though.
      But if we apply our human ingenuity, I'm sure we can come up with a secure and reliable way to lobotomize lion cubs in order to turn them into docile, cuddly pets. Sure, they won't be good for much else afterwards - but if you can afford a pet lion to begin with, that shouldn't bother you much, right?

      As much of a dream this is, we have tamed possibly 4 different canine species. Half of them are extinct, and that's the Hare Indian dog (coyote), Fuegian dog (culpeo), and the extant ones are the domestic dog and the Russian fox.
      The reason we could do this is that canines are social animals, have an omnivorous diet, and have at least a social heirachal structure.
      The problem with felid domestication is that most of them are solitary and fight each other often, they are incredibly predatory, that means they hunt and kill and only eat nothing but flesh and blood, we only tamed one, one of the smallest ones but the cheetah is far too independent and finicky when it comes to breeding for plausible domestication.

For the same reason u said.. she instead .. paid to be volunteer at an elephant sanctuary, and spent her time there, picking up elephant shit 💩. And admiring them from afar . It was her way of helping those in captivity to lead better lives. Bless u for dedicating your life to these awesome inspiring souls xx

But finding your channel on Instagram and RUclips and watching your videos, I touch something bright and hopeful every time. Seeing how you follow your path, your values with great love and passion, and how much beauty you bring into this world, I'm glad that such things exist somewhere on the planet. Your RUclips video about how hard it is for you to maintain the entire park really touched me. Unfortunately, I can't do much, but I bought a bracelet and hope it will somehow help your cause. This is all I can afford, but let it be a small contribution to your wonderful work. You show that it's possible to stay true to your values no matter how hard it gets, showing a part of our wonderful planet. You show how important it is to maintain balance, to respect those around us, whether they are people or wild animals. You show that in return for respect and love comes even more respect and love even from beings that seem hostile or very distant to us. Thank you for what you do!

    Man, you are next level attentive. If you deal with people the way you deal with lions i'd gladly be a friend of yours.
    It's so cool that you are aware that a lot that matters with regards to how you relate to a lion also goes for humans.
    Like we used to bound a lot better when we lived in small villages as big cities are colder, more distant or reserved in terms of how people relate to one another in general. The bounding process in smaller towns was more intense.

    If you are young and think you might want to get involved with wildlife…. DO IT NOW…. Before life passes you by. It goes quickly.
    I’ve spent much of my life with domestic animals,but the last 15 or so years have truly started to understand my dog family. Spent most of my life working as a nurse. Wish I would have worked with animals instead.
