What idiot would let a child or stick his own fingers into that cage? A few years ago in the Kansas county I grew up in, some idiot let a girl pose for her senior portraits with the lions on his farm. (Lions on a farm???) You can guess the outcome.Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-28455014186995071282009-08-18T10:13:54.280-05:002009-08-18T10:13:54.280-05:00Hola, As I was reading and looking at the photos, ...Hola, As I was reading and looking at the photos, I was thinking....WOW I'd have to really force myself to not TOUCH...I've always dreamed of petting a big cat. <br /><br />I wonder about their sedated or bored state. Makes one think they are drugged, doesn't it? Well I hope they enjoy a nice high or something at least! <br /><br />For me the circus is a difficult issue, like zoos and dolphin harrassment programs. On one hand I am glad people get a chance to see and learn about these animals. Most of us will never roam Africa or India or the open sea. On the other hand I hate to see our human BS put upon these wonderful, intelligent, beautiful creatures.Linda Dortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298495135726004606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-89378897706565085052009-08-18T09:35:18.462-05:002009-08-18T09:35:18.462-05:00Beautiful creatures!Beautiful creatures!KfromMichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092255492898320780noreply@blogger.com
