Idiots.

They want to release it into the wild, eh? Lion wouldn't survive a month.

they already becoming endangered in the wild. So i dont have a problem with this at all.

Adopting them, conforming them to human interaction and then trying to release them will never bring a predatory species back, though.

If "conservationists" want to follow good examples, they should study the reintroduction of the wolf population to the west and the cougar population to Nebraska. Bucket feeding lions from Africa isn't going to fix a damn thing.

if you watch the video, where they are, there is antelope running around. I dont think they are bucket feeding them at that age.

I agree about the reintroduction of the wolf population, but Africa is quickly losing its lion population, they do need some time to adapt, and i dont see much harm in saving a cub that was abandoned.

They are great animals.

The wolf reintroduction in Idaho sucks, btw.
