There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Lions are pretty big which is why it makes me really uncomfortable when people start hanging out with lions and other big cats. I know some of these guys are experts and lion-whisperers and tiger-whisperers etc it doesn't change the fact that one swipe of a claw and that's that for the human and the animal. A lot of the times all this is wrapped in a conservation/animal-welfare excuses, but I just don't see how this benefits the animal.
