Fair point, and right to talk about!! These two girls have another sister and a brother, they don't / shouldn't breed inter family so they've been newted or whatever the Lion equivalent is! Lions live longer in 'captivity' than in the wild, they are not behind cages like in a UK Zoo, they have a range and are fed with two donkeys every 4 days. Sadly with growing populations they are safer here and hopefully people can respect them and learn to respect them as i do. In another area they have grown a population of 174 of a type of Elan to over 300 so its valuable work! I respect the other argument too! THEY ARE NOT UNDER SEDATION!!!
