When I see a magnificent creature caged up in a pen less than one thousandth of a percent in space of its natural habitat, it makes me want to scream!<BR/><BR/>I've seen full grown horses that have spent their entire lives in a 10 X 10 pen standing hock deep in their own excrement. What is it in 'humans' that allows them to rationalize this?<BR/><BR/>I realize that there are some endangered species that are part of an effort to save them in zoos and parks. But this, too is unnatural to me.<BR/><BR/>Having observed animals much of my life, I believe the 'wild' to be much more humane than our own species.<BR/><BR/>Oh piddle! This started out as such a gentle comment and ended up as one of my animal advocate diatribes!<BR/><BR/>I need another coffee and more time awake.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Dinaqueenlint1http://www.blogger.com/profile/09982792855408974898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-15396945151630018842008-08-15T18:00:00.000+10:002008-08-15T18:00:00.000+10:00hi friend can u say me how to get translations to me blogging website like that u ve in ur websitejosephgopihttp://frendzz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-26292341527602577152008-08-13T12:16:00.000+10:002008-08-13T12:16:00.000+10:00Christian, Ace, and John are all extraordinary.

It's a great story.<BR/><BR/>@ Jon - the video was of them meeting the lion after one year but apprantley they went back a few more times after this - every time Christian would unexpectedly turn up at camp the night before they arrived. <BR/><BR/>@ Sarah - the interview of these gus some 35 years after was interesting - great to see all the worl they do for wildlife conservation too!<BR/><BR/>@ Rocksnowhite - thanks for dropping by - you have been posting some fantastic writing lately!!Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-6103275391022611572008-08-12T17:14:00.000+10:002008-08-12T17:14:00.000+10:00Robin - "If we allowed ourselves to see what they REALLY are it might make it much harder to decimate them".

There is also a movie made by the actors in Born Free about Christian which was done in the 80s maybe. You Tube is a great thing for bringing wonderful stories to the masses.
