If you saw Christian the Lion on the program "Sunday" then you may be interested in this posting. Christian was a lion cub that was put up for sale in a shop called "Harrods" in London. Two friends thought that they would purchase him to take care of him. Anyhow they had a good time bringing him up and became very attached to him. Like all animal lovers there was true affection shared between both pet and owner. After a while they realised that they needed to return him back to the wild. So when a year had passed they thought that they would visit him and although everyone told them that the lion had turned wild they visited him nevertheless. Here is how the meeting turned out...
Hi Room L - I saw the documentary on Christian the Lion and was fascintated with it - however it does make you think about the issue of wild animals being taken out of their natural environment and being raised by humans.

I love your Blog - there is always something interesting to see on it. Keep it up
