Christian the Lion [1° Año Medio A]


In 1969 a young Australian, John Rendall and his friend Ace Bourke, bought a small lion cub from Harrods pet department, which was then legal. 'Christian' was kept in the basement of a furniture shop on the Kings Road in Chelsea, the heart of the swinging sixties. Loved by all, the affectionate cub ate in a local restaurant, played in a nearby graveyard, but was growing fast...

A chance encounter with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to a new life for Christian. He came to live in a huge enclosure and to sleep in a caravan at their Surrey home. Then in 1971 he was flown to Kenya, his ancestral home, and returned to the wild by lion-man George Adamson. Nine months later in 1972, John and Ace returned to Kora in Kenya. This clip is of their reunion at that time.

Is it real this? How much do you think your pets love you? Should we consider animal rights as ours?

  1. This could be real. I do think that love exist between animals and humans.Rights for animals just like ours, this won't be possible because humans are self-centered creatures that only care about themselves.

  2. If I could be real, because I think animals do have feelings for human beings, like humans to ellos.No think that human beings will never have the same rights to animals.

  4. I find this video is very good plus
    to open our minds to care for these animals
    as they did not care for us as I could see in the video
    so affectionate was the tiger with the person that speaks of love
    between animals and humans

  5. I believe that this if it is real. My tortoises love me because always I give them food. And the animals like any alive being have rights and must be respected

  6. This story is completely true, since there had been news about this.
    I think my dog likes me enough to want it and I think could easily recognize.
    Regarding the last question I think we should consider the rights of animals as our own, so that we can take the pets and all animals more seriously and not as something else in the world.

  7. Definitely this is real, besides, why not?
    I think the second question is tricky. because people get into your head that the animals only are looking for you for food, but actually I dont know, as I said is a tricky question.

    I think it depends on many things and of a lot of factor and the way that you see this question. But as people say, animals are animals.

  8. For me this video and the story is real. I think I want my pet if it shows signs of affection towards me, so if I think my dog loves me. And answering the question number three I find that if we consider the rights of animals as our own because an animal is a living being like us, regardless of that we are sentient beings and they do not, but the animal or pet deserves to be treated with care.

  11. I think this could be true, as there are people who loves animals as a friend, but I do not think animals should have the same rights as people, as we are quite different, but there must be a respect to these, such as its habitat and life. and if possible raise the animals right with us, as the dog or cat.

  12. I believe that this if it is real since we all have feelings so much animal rational (we) as irrational so they also can love his owners, if we should respect the rights of animal for which they are equal that we and nobody would like that they ill-treat it at least that it is masochistic.

  13. As for real, I say if it is and the love of animals and humans there is a large friendly laso always lasts over time and I believe the love that had owners with the lion was great and so was as they recalled as masters, or rather his friends.

  17. qe clear that I believe is real, why not? Animals are a species of beings to whom we learned to love with all the love and affection they deserve.
    I think I like my two pets but do not see much but they are faithful and true.
    I think we should always bear in mind that we must protect the rights of animals, and more about how we protect both our rights and they feel they are equally or more sencibles we

  18. I think the video is real, because animals are very good and only give love.
    At about my love for animals, I can say is that I love, especially my cat , that in on cold nights provide love and companionship.
    I think people do not give them the proper respect for animals are naive creatures, we are the ones we think.

  19. The video is real.. about the love for the animals, I really love my dog and my cat, and I don't really care if people say: "your animals only loves you because of the food", I love them and i'm pretty sure, they love me too...
    The animals must be respect, for example, dogs remember every voice that you have, and they interpret that ...
    that's all ...
