Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

I read about this story in today's Sunday Times.

I don't think I would have been as brave (or stupid?).....

Angry Re: Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

Hi,

That's a sweet story, but...

.... What the were these people thinking, of a) buying a lion cub from a department store, and b) for keeping it in a flat, when they must have known the animal was going to grow, and grow quickly?!

Shame someone did mount the lion's owner's heads, as a warning to other potential owners of wild animals!

I can see it now:
Man: What do we need in Harrod's today dear?
Woman: Oh, just the usual: bread, jam, cereal, a lion cub. Nothing much!

Prats!

Re: Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

Quite! Mind you, it was the swinging "'60's". Couldn't believe Harrods would have sold any wildlife like that! Surely there's laws against that sort of thing now?

Exclamation Re: Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

Mr I,

Yeah, there are numerous laws now, about the sale of all animals, let alone dangerous ones, but still.... What kind of person thinks they should buy a lion cub from a fricking department store?! They must be several cans short of a six-pack, if they think that was normal behvaiour!

I was kind of hoping that, at the end of the video clip, the lion was going to run up to them, and maul them both to death, tearing huge chunks of their cursed flesh away, with its teeth and claws!

With two of them living together perhaps they felt they needed to share a larger pussy.

Re: Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

I think this this is already on here! Apparently keeping large cats was quite the thing in the 60's/70's and then when the law change some rather stupid people actually let them go in the wild. hence why they are often 'sitings' reported of large wild cats. I know a couple of people who think that have come face to face with a panther or other large cat but just for a second.

Re: Here! Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

one of my ex family members had a pet lion from the 70s till he died in the mid 80s in his back garden (it had a proper area with double fencing and trees n stuff to climb on) had quite a few vids of it, the most impressive was when they feed it a dead donkey (old age) it picked it up in it mouth and jumped 6 foot up onto a platform to eat it!!!!

It used to play with him like that, would kill anyone it didn't know thou...
