AN ECCENTRIC Frenchman lives with SEVEN lions and tigers right outside his front door - and he looks after them on his own. For the last 27 years, 68-year-old Remy Demantes has owned a private rescue sanctuary for big cats, taking care of the injured animals and treating them as pets. Residing in Ouzouer-sur-Loire, France, Remy fell in love with exotics in 1986 when he saw the close bond his friend had with his domesticated panther - inspired by their relationship, Remy decided to build upon his current property and make sure his home was at the centre of his animals. Fast-forward to 2018 and Remy could not imagine life without his beloved pets, spending hours each day hand-feeding them, taking them for walks and generally kissing and cuddling their furry coats.

That white blue eyed tiger is beyond beautiful..
Yeah, she is gorgeous.
Yeah its majestic
Racist
@@MinatoNamikaze-ib7vq ok kid stfu
Tylon Frye TRUE
Hopefully some great professionals will watch this video and reach out to help this man who clearly has a loving heart but needs SO MUCH assistance/guidance/knowledge in Every aspect of having these animals. That would be something great that could come out of this.
He needs to find someone to train. He will not be well 24/7 and what will happen to them if he has a stroke and can't move or talk or worse.
He has people to take care of them if something happen to him
Zephyrr Sky stop thinking about the worse and think about the good
Zephyrr Sky tru
Im old anyways so let me die by my hobby and love. I have nothing to fear but god!
Facts
That's nothing I live with 10 teddy bears
So, i accomodate a dozen rubber duckies.
Teddy bears are toys not real animals like tigers and lions
I deal with a flock of a dozen pink lawn flamingos in neighbor's yard. They're quite catty...
AN MEDIA. That's nothing. I deal with humans.
LOL
I think he dose not have enough space for his animals
I agree
Dose? You mean does
Agreed.
I totally agree. If you watch the lion whisperer. (Kevin richardson) he gives his lions 60+acres and moves them around all the time. Lions and lionesses are actually social cats, the fact that he has them alone is really sad.
True
It's kinda sad. The living conditions of that lion. The cage needs to be 100% bigger
Plus he is keeping them in his own property with no support from others... what do you expect more ?? You can go to Africa and try doing some work for those animals you won't last a single day i bet
@@shekhar81 shut up, this guy used to have big cats performing in his nightclub and then went and bought tigers.. He sounds real qualified to care for endangered animals, NOT.
@@shekhar81 facts

How about u do it a see how much room u could afford
When you have to lock up big cats to save them from going extinct, you know something is wrong. I think the lion looks desperate for company. The whole thing is sad, very sad.
@@anandu2705 thats no kind of life compared to the one they should have. They have no space compared to their natural habitat. If an animal has to live in captivity for conservation, it should live in a place where it can be as close to wild and free as possible like a nature reserve or national park.
@@omariramsey1154 you're right, Thank you.🙏
This isn't doing a damned thing to "save big cats from extinction". That is nothing more than a leftist/socialist fallacy.
@@howabouthetruth2157 True, while accredited zoos assist in conservation this facility is useless in those standards. Also why must you bring politics into this? What do democrats have in common with big cat keepers? Just reminding you that the owners of similar facilities in the US who have the same claims are far, far right, like further than should be normal on whether it was the left or right (loving Trump, hating immigrants, loving messing with crazy huge guns by firing them at random things, one of them even asking Trump for a pardon).
@@rayyanibrahim451 I'll do and say what I damn well please, and yes, THE IDEA most certainly is a leftist/socialist agenda. Furthermore, republicans are crooks too. Just not as wicked, but still wicked.
That great white Tiger so amazing !!!
He needs to greet his Tigers correctly, they chuff to greet each other.. That poor little lioness badly needs another lion to play with. Lions are the only gragarious cats, and thrive when living within a pride. Even if it's only a, couple of lionesses. You can see how desperate she is for company..
Since you know everything go raise them yourself
How many tigers have u raised
@@busien2276 don't be stupid. Those animals are not acting the way they're supposed to in a 'sanctuary'
have you personally raised tigers??? or you just googling things???
@@taryn9850 so a pediatrician needs to have a child to know anything about caring for sick children? This is common knowledge for those who care enough to know. Actual sanctuaries that care about animals have been trying to teach people for years that this is not the way to treat these animals. Check out Big Cat Rescue on RUclips if you want to learn more
Imagine just breaking into a house and you see 5 tigers , 1 lion and 1 lioness running at you at full speed and youre just like well fu*k
These old man doesnt know how to fully love those big cats.
They are all just amazing! Absolutely awe inspiring. Julie the tigress was just beautiful,,,, Tina was SO SO CUTE!! CUTE OVERLOAD! Especially when she went to chase him, and when she was trying to enjoy her bottle and dad kept giving her kisses 😽!! The white tiger with those amazing icy blue eyes! Omg, he was handsome beyond belief. I’m not sure if it was the mood he may have been in, or perhaps his age, but he looked very sad to me. I mea it’s obvious they are very well taken care of, but he looked sad. Maybe he was just board! In any case t was an amazing story
Out of all these Lion keepers, I've seen Kevin Richardson understanding them very well!
He’s not saving them, he’s keeping them trapped in a TINY enclosure for their whole lives! That’s so wrong!
Easy to make a statement like that behind a keyboard
Karen
thats the feeding cage for them
These are absolutely beautiful big kitty’s! I got 5 kitties and have always wanted to care for a big beastly kitty! Just to snuggle and nap with one❤️ what a privilege that would be!
I am proud to be an Indian. India is the only country in the world that has population of tiger and lion that stay in the wild. Top two big cats 🐅 🦁
Pride is a sin, but at least it's because of wildlife :)
I like the fact he says to understand their instincts as they are still very wild animals
*Such **_BEAUTIFUL_** kitties!!* 🐯 🐅
Its tragic that he believes he is helping helping them, yet he is getting them as cubs, probably contributing to the pet trade, and only "rescuing" cubs to hand rear shows he is only really interested in them as pets.
I don't think using a stick to interact with them is the way to go about things.
He doesnt hit them with the stick, it's just to look like he has imposing shoulders
not everyone is Kevin Richardson...hes special these other guys they intimidate them and call that a relationship...
I believe that he knows better than you.
@@romus3550 That's a bad idea they will see him as he alpha and what they will do is one will challenge his authority as alpha and he will end up dead it is their natural instinct
Idk. . . I think I'll just stick with Kevin the lion whisperer. . . something just feels. . .off
Yeah, after his videos this just seems little better than zoo. Probably less stress because there's no people. But otherwise to me this seems more like he just wanted them as pets.
I Like Turtles ong bro
Do you understand that he raised them alone? Kevin got helper and tons of land.. So do papa bear
What are you talking about? What feels off? Lmao.
Lol "something feels off" .
That white tiger is Outstanding
White tiger eyes look nice
that's really irresponsible of him that no one else helps him. the animals aren't socialized with other people, and he obviously isn't going to be around forever. what if he's hospitalized for an illness, or worse? whose going to take care of the animals?
the fact that the lions live alone and not in groups is really sad. these cages are so, so small for them. the animals are pacing back and forth. also, i would not call this them "accepting" him. they're tolerating him, and if that.
even though i hate seeing people like this, who use animals for their own stupid adrenaline rushes, i do love this channel and all that it uploads. thanks for posting.
Totally agree!
Kayla Christine you don't know that he has no one
Did you watch the video, because he says it himself.
zoifox zoe who cares not your business
I do agree that he should have someone who he can pass this legacy unto however i don't think the sole purpose of him having these animals is for his own self interest/pleasure. Most individuals who have endangered big cats, bears, wolves, etc. have them and support them with the goal of them being able to have offspring of their own. These animals are safer in captivity where they have the opportunity to mate, eat, and live without the dangers of poachers and habitat loss. Its sad that these beautiful creatures aren't free to safely roam in their natural habitat anymore but i firmly believe that they are better off with him than in the wild.
This guy won't last too long around these big cats with that stick in his hand. Seem like it would make them very uncomfortable.
It's good that he's doing this but like the others I have the same thing to say the pens are not big enough for them and .. what the others are saying is true what will happen if u r too old or something and there is no one to take care of them?
This guy can barely control them
MADD _xtallol how?
0.38 the tigers are pacing, a clear sign on neurological distress!
tigers are incredibly proportioned. and so so strong. king of all species
lions are alright as well. but tigers - they are bigger, stronger, smarter, faster. and much more fierce. just perfect :)
Tiger 🐯 is the Real Beast.
Eritrea Shabia
The lion will never be the king of beasts.
headsprunggg *
@@Paul-nr6nm Lol he already is the king of beasts
i dont think he has any real idea....sure experience,but judging their body language,he doesnt have the space either...
I don’t think he’s taking very good care of them...
Why do you think that?
@@priscillaross-fox9407 theyre used to petting, which means they were pet as cubs, which is abuse. These animals are not pets, period. I get special exceptions like disabilities that would make them fail in the wild. The only reason these cats would fail in the wild is this guy raising them as pets
@@omariramsey1154 girl writes: I def hear that, although do u know the story of the two English students who bought a lion from Harrods in the 1960's and once it got grown they realised they wanted to get it home to the wild or as close to that with other lions? amazing story, they got a wildlife person to help them and the lion was flown I think it was to south Africa, they went to seed it dome years later and it came and embraced (in big cat way) the two students , sadly when they returned some years later they never saw the lion again , big game and cats etc hunting should be banned.
Nobody asked for your input. That’s actually not true. While I do agree that it is ok to keep animals in captivity, once you do, that is a lifelong commitment and you shouldn’t really release them into the wild. They are used to captivity.
The French guy said "1976" but the text said "1986"... Mhh
many parks breed lions where tourists come to pet them. little do they know that when the lions grow bigger they are sold for trophy hunting. that's just sad. there are very few people like Kevin Richardson who are genuinely trying to help the animals. I wish people would donate their money to such facilities rather than use that money for the pleasure of trophy hunting.
There's also owners who deliberately starve their lions and then occasionally dump prey into their enclosure so onlookers can watch ravenous lions tear it apart.
It feels off. Like he hurts them or something, like he tries to force them to be nice.
Yeah compare this behaviour to the behaviour of dean schneider
the lions that are with Dean schneider act way different than these do...
Pablo escobar
Ali Mohammed thought I was the only one who thought of that 😂
I thought the same thing haha

we all want to know the updates of those animals,
Is it an animal prison?

Yes ofc

Not enough space....
This guy has balls saying no to a tiger. They all could snap him in half
They are all so beautiful and kind to this man it is very beautiful 🐅🐈🦁
I don't think that‘s a good place for the animals. Idk.
marohji i agree, had this weird feeling watching the vid, those animals dont look happy at all
Ban Evader yeah man. Tigers and lions look so happy in the wild. They always have that big smile on their face.
It's better than to be in the wild and then being poached to be someone's carpet or fur coat
They are safee in there than in the wild
Too funny, non intelligent comment
That white tiger (is it Siberian?) Has absolutely beautiful eyes
There is no Siberian or Bengal anymore, only Mainland Tigers and Sumatran Tigers, the white genetic defect seems like a trait found in Tigers residing in Central and North India and Nepal.
@@syedshakaibanwar2698 Lol. What are you talking about? There's plenty of Bengal and Siberian tigers left. Especially Bengal.
@@mattbudesa3038 As in, Bengal and Siberian are now not considered as separate sub species, there are nopw only two recognized Tiger sub species i.e the Mainland Asian Tiger and the Sumatran Tiger.
@@mattbudesa3038 There are only two tiger subspecies according to new studies: Mainland Asian and the Sumatran. What differentiates Siberian and Bengal tigers is that they're two separate populations of the same subspecies. Only the Bengal Tiger population has white tigers. So yes, that tiger's a Bengal.
how heartly this man interacts with animals!
Very cute animals I love tham all 😘😘
Beautiful
You're getting old sir.. You must let someone take the responsibility before it's too late. Someone who would trust more like, Mr. Kevin Richardson may be.. ^_^
Isn't Kevin Richardson getting old ? 🤔
I love it when he says “NO”😂
He should have back up partner just in case something should happen with this WILDLIFE lover. There beautiful☺I'm a nature lover would love to see more videos. Great job and goodluck😘
Does he know how to Chuff to the Tigers. That's how Tigers greet each other?
Lu Kaplan yes I recommend you to check out michael jaminson's channel on yt. He have 2 tigers and that's what he's doing everytime he greets his tigers. Beautiful realtion between such wild animals and a human.
ale_meksyk_213 Yes I have been watching Michael Jamison for almost 5 months everyday. He is great🐯🐯😊💜👍
haha he he is living with them for years, what you think?
It has not been mentioned in the video but he actually talked about it in the interview. He knows very well how they communicate and the differences between tigers and lions.
Larry Rochefort ok Thank you😊
im not throwing hate or anything like i appreciate that he loves tigers and takes care of them but idk if you guys see this but they just walk back and forth in their cages and they look like they want to get out of the cage and into the wild. like idk , something is not right
Probably the camera man was making them anxious
@@AshleyBurkhalter its most likely an issue of pent up energy causing them to pace because they cant even run let alone jog in their enclosure
Hate seeing tigers in a cage. The pacing back and forth in front of them at zoos even break my heart and is a sign of pent up energy.
Time to upgrade to bigger space and hire some help, he should not be alone looking after them, in case something happens to him-these cats are trapped. :(
with what money?
@@RacketTattoo people would volunteer even if they had to pay for it i know cause i paid to go to africa and stayed at a hands on lion sanctuary for 1year 🙂
That’s just the feeding cage he goes into when it’s dinner time. He freely walks around in a much bigger area after he’s done eating
"I have had no incidents"
*Literally a lion running right at him*
that lioness was trying to play and socialize its kinda sad he yelled at her cause he has no idea what hes doing and refuses any help or advice its just animal cruelty
Unfortunately for this old French man, he has to carry a stick, showing fear to the wild exotic life. They had picked on that, it is obvious that they don't have respect for the old man. They will not hurt him but they will not repect him. For him, all of it started wrong in the cubhood stage with regard to respect, communication (listening to their body language to respect boundaries ), trust (he monumentally failed there, he does not trust them and that is where the fear came into existence ), attention, affection, love, taking care of (feeding, cleaning after them and grooming ), playing (keeping them from boredom, he also failed there ), friendship (he also failed there, lack of trust, carrying a stick, showing fear ), companionship (also failed there, he fills up the need of feeding but he does not fill up the spiritual, emotional and grooming need of a soul made ), bonding as a family member (if he failed in every thing else, except in feeding and cleaning, he also failed in bonding as a family member. He does not have a family bond with them, carrying a stick and showing fear ). Since human bonding with the wild killing instinct predators is 90% about respect, communication, attention, trust, love, affection, friendship and companionship to bond as a family member which over write the killer instinct gene in these predators, fully allowing the bonding between the human specie and the wild exotic killing instinct predator specie. But he royally failed to do so and that killer gene has not been over written on those tigers and that lion. The killer gene is still active. Therefore these animals posses a danger to him when being around them. Needless to say that this is a relationship based on feeding and cleaning after the wild exotic killing instinct predators.
Antonio
Yep he expects them to be like domestic lap cats, I'm disgusted by this old man, also the cats have nobody but him, selfish
@Alexander The Great that's not the gist of what he was saying, the point is, you look at someone like Kevin Richardson with his lions who looks after all Their needs not just hunger but stimulates them mentally as well, it's like day and night compared to this guy. If you don't have the room the tiger needs- don't buy tiger cubs! It's the simple... I'm disturbed people are allowed to do this worldwide with no regulations or pre requirements
I know, this man should not be having these things as pets
Alexander The Great please go and watch dean Schneider. I think you would rlly benefit.
AMEN! You are very wise. My compliments to your respect and understanding of the wonder of animals. I wish all humans could understand. Respect is earned and it begins by respecting the one you want respect from first. I know animals. You are either a friend, a foe, a meal or in social animals, a leader/ parent. Animals are so very honest. Thank you for beautifully expressing that truth. Your comment made my day. You ROCK!
Look at that white tiger..it is so beautiful and strong one
This is a very stark contrast to The Lion Whisperer, who not only has an actual full sanctuary (in Africa) for the lions to roam around in, those that he raised trust him completely, and he also does not have the cynicism this guy has around them. Might help that TLW also has a degree in zoology though. He even fully acknowledges too that one day there might be an accident, but they hasn't been one yet, and he's not going to live life around them worrying about it.
I love France ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Amazing Citys, amazing People, wonderful Food and Wine and big cats that you can not trust 100% :) Loving Greetings from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
the kodiak bear story was so much better
The White TIGER is so beautiful ! Awesone !!
It’s a shame they need a lot more space, just walking back and forth in a cage. Still beautiful cats. The white tiger is magnificent.😘
La légende Monsieur Rémy...a crazy way to live life but he's a master at it...beaucoup de respect pour lui car c'est pas un choix facile
Those tigers are stunningly beautiful yet brutally savage.
I think the lion whisperer Kevin will be of help the way you handling them can be tragic of you not there since there is no help from anyone
Actual Google translates the guy is saying patience and the subtitles say passion. I speak French so I have the right to call them out xd!
Mans has a white tiger, a golden tiger and a normal tiger.. hes lucky
It’s obvious he likes his tigers more
all of y’all are just spreading negative energy and not even doing a thing to help besides a ineffective opinion. go do something to help these animals if you are so concerned
Tiger are the most beautiful and Strongest creature on the planet that white one is just awasome
I fear things won't end well for this old man
I think the world should have more people like you in it that protects these animals . Instead you have people hunting them for there fur or for a trophy it's very sad to see this happen ,since they are endangered . I have had past experiences with tigers and they are very pleasant to be around ,but you are right you should not trust them fully .I wish some day to own my own at least this way it would be protected and not hunted .😊😊David
As Pauline Vautour said Keeping three or four tigers in your house as pets is not saving wildlife. He's not doing anything for them. He's just satisfying his urge to pet tigers. If you wanna see someone doing something for wildlife watch this lady this channel recently posted who rescues animals and keeps them in a large enclosed santuary then sets them free.
Yea Michael Jamison chuffs are legit. Love his channel
@@paulinev1757 Bad vibe with this Frenchman's big cats. But the Lion Whisperer does it the RIGHT way. he's NEVER used a stick in over 20 years and has a giant space for his lions to roam, plus he provides companions around them in various groups. These lions and tigers would be better off in the wild if not for the wild to be shrinking and the cats going extinct because of man.
These cats are so beautiful. I hope people are leaving them alone now. I'm not sure.
FIRST OF ALL those pens are WAY too small for those tigers. SECOND, did you see all the animals pacing back and forth? That’s a sign of pent up energy and boredom. THIRDLY, his animals are WAY overweight. NOT COOL.
Allison Sulouff
Pacing back and forth as a result of boredom is something that goes on for hours. You can’t tell that from a short clip,
Bk Jeong the tracks on the pen suggest otherwise
They are big not overweight.
Also was it possible that they are pacing due to the cameraman? If not visitors are allowed they have very limited human interaction. Perhaps they are anxious at the new visitor.
Better than being in some zoo or reserve where they will be shot only bcoz some little kid jumped into its place and went near.....
Your all animals are cute and beautiful
Those animals need a bigger space that's horrible keeping them in small cages.. could you imagine if that was you!!? I pray they get to live a beautiful life in the wild really soon!!!!
Me: ‘oh I just have a cat and some other pets’
Him: *’I have 5 tigers and 2 lions’*
Plot twist: This guy is actually a Bond villain.
2:50 when my cat jumps on my bed
Pablo returns.
Dosent look like enough space for the animals..
Big cats pace like that because they’re stressed, hence you see them doing it in zoos. They need much more space than this 😢
I feel sorry for those cats...
ikr they should be in the wild and get shot by some poachers and become perfect carpets for my house
@@GTAVALE stfup
I know how dare he buy safe enclosures for them and spend his own money for their expensive diets
GTAVALE annoying headass
@@Dhsbdidbss he may have safe enclosures but he is doing the human equivalent of putting a human in solitary confinement for their entire life for the sake of looking at them
The golden tabby tiger is so beautiful.......

I know what he’s saying so uhhh yeah is he ".… oh no 🤦♀️ god dang it
Robber: you know what I will rob this house........
*Oh you expected more?Im sorry but he is no longer with us*
beautiful
He has all that land so why doesn't he expand their enclosures?
I learnt highly important things from this brother . without passion , we cannot try this thing .we want guts to continue this passion . We must not trust these big cats hundred percentage . No holiday to ourselves 24x365 days . We must clearly understand the consequences to allow a new person in our big cat cage . We must understand big cats phychologhy and behaviours clearly . Only a practical way , we learn more about big cats . He pursue his lonely is an extraordinary thing . Hatts off brother . (Praveen from india )
Those are some really big cats lol. Much bigger than those in the wild
I love big cats
Lion fans must see this video.
Imagine walking around seeing this 0:16
Idk why but I feel like they should have a bigger place to roam especially the big lion that seemed more aggressive.🦁🐯
I know people need to conserve tigefs and lions but almost every animal park does that there are other animals that need our help not only big cats but I do congratulate you for protecting animals
this man do be kinda risking his own life living with those wild animals
i hope he loses it soon cause they need a better life outside of that prison
Frenchy teases his cats,
they react,then he corrects
them.....nerve racking!😬
This guy needs to take advice of Kevin Richardson the real lion whisperer who loves his lions and animals and knows how to look after them
This man carrying a stick with him. And I’m not comfortable seeing that . It’s like he would not hesitant to beat those cats with that stick if they’re misbehave
I can relate to this man living with wild tigers, I to was once lived on D block in county. Vicious creatures reside
I DONT THINK YOURE SUPPOSED TO KEEP A LION IN A CONCRETE CAGE
i didn't know tigers understood french. lol
That man is a French fries in progress 🍟 😂
