Yep, we’ve got a “Lion Whisperer” now.
He may be an excellent animal handler.
He may be a qualified zoologist and behaviorist.
But lions can change their moods really quickly. And it just takes one second to cause a major accident with such powerful creatures.
I first heard of this fellow on Animal Planet on a show where he was trying to hand-raise hyenas and change their reputation.
But if you want proof on how quickly lions can change from placid animals into powerful killers, please watch this:
He didn’t learn anything from Siegfried & Roy? Do some folks honestly think all those other cases of wild animals turning on people for the slightest provocation is something that will never happen to -them- because ‘they know better/have a spiritual bond with the animal’?
How long did S&R have their tigers? I don’t doubt that they, too, had gotten complacent and convinced that their cats would never harm them.
