Israel is getting its licks in on the Palestinians while it can.  Bush refuses to interrupt his vacation to negotiate some peace.  Condoleezza Rice is worthless.  I expect the next 19 days will be punctuated with miserable and petty news stories as American Democracy peels gnarled neocon fingers from their grip on power.So, I’m starting 2009 with Christian the Lion.  Grab a tissue.Posted in Animal Stories, Critters, video Tagged: Friendship, Love, Warm Fuzzies

Tradition handlar om intuition, lika mycket som om bildning. Om en ögonblicklig förståelse av vad som är gott och icke. Min intuition säger mig att i stort sett alla djurvänner har del av Traditionen.Le Grand Maitre har skrivit en mycket rörande artikel om kattminne.

Wow, this reminds me of my dog Jake when I walk in the door after a long day. but...a lion?

Christian left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 97, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.

Yes, indeed, true love knows no bounds. It gives without condition and without asking for compensation. True friendship lasts a lifetime and even more. Please enjoy the video. It is the story of Christian the Lion. We love you!Posted in African Events, African News, videos, world
