or rather when When Love is "Un"-Faked
1411 is the number everyone is talking about… yes this is the number of tiger left in this great nation of ahimsa and humanity. Poaching for skin seizures became the main cause of this down fall of number of tigers in India.
But today I prefer to tell everyone a different story, a story about a lion, a story about John Rendall and Antony Bourke.
The year was 1969, Harrods, a famous departmental store in the showcase kept a lion cub. No was not a toy, and it was kept for SALE. In 1969, laws never prevented the sale of wild animals. The cub looked scared and was much disoriented. John and Antony, the two best pals could not see the pain in the eyes of the cub. They purchased the cub and started nursing him. Soon, the cub became big and it needed a ground where he can exercise. The local vicar provided John and Antony the space by offering the Church’s lawn for the young lion to work out. The lawn was never a hunting ground for the Lion who was by this time christened CHRISTIAN. John and Antony decided to rehabilitate the lion in Africa. They got in touch with the legendary George Adamson, famously known as the father of Elsa. In a years time they relocated Christian. A full year passed and the pair wanted to pay a visit to Africa to see and meet their friend Christian. They were demotivated to do that as the experts said that the lion was no more a pet and it became wild. Christian was the head of the pride by that time and it was a risk for humans to go near it. John and Antony did not care and went to see their friend….. What happened then? See it yourself…

ReplyDeleteTigers..one of the most majestic animals after the Lions. Its a shame tht we are left with only 1411 tigers. We all got to do something abt it. And the Christian lion is one of the most beautiful video have ever seen.....Everyone shd get a chance to see it, ....Superb
ReplyDeleteYou are right in that aspect....it is "un-faked "love. We humans pride ourselves on being intellectuals and all but the only thing we have succeeded is making ourselves alone on this planet. Almost all wild species are on the verge of extinction. Can't imagine what kind of person would like to wear skins of animals who have been killed mercilessly.....we know we are upsetting the delicate balance in nature but we are so smug in our daily lives that we live in a "faked world"
