@@Furby-luv3r There's no reasoning with people. The longer time go on the stupider people get the more flips they are able to pull off with mental gymnastics.
I mean, for all intents and purposes, that’s what they are now. Domestic cats and Wild cats, Big or Small, are all apart of the cat family. While Wolves and Dogs are different species, every cat is a cat. So it makes sense that try would act similarly when domesticated
Why would anyone with an ounce of respect and humanity buy their children a pet Lion and then think ‘oh! Dear its grown too big for us now’? There is a saying ‘Never underestimate Stupidity’
Because they’re self-indulgent douchebags with a surfeit of $$$ and a deficit of wisdom - that’s why. And their children will grow up to be exactly like them. 🤨
Stupid is as stupid does. Those idiot rich people have spoiled those beautiful animals of ever having a natural life. Thank you though to the lovely people that take them in.. Now the law should protect wild animals from idiot rich people and others from having wild animals as pets.
@45 fottuto stronzo Texas DEFINITELY, and also Oklahoma. Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas because those states have very few laws on the books regulating “exotic” pet ownership. The trade thrives here. In fact, some of Exotic Joe’s cats were just taken in by an FDA-approved refuge (one of the few) in northwest Arkansas called Turpentine Creek. It’s a wonderful place. The cats will be happy & healthy there - UNLIKE they were under Exotic Joe . . . which is why his facility has been closed down!
It’s adorable but also dangerous. They should have gotten a dog or cat if they want a simple house pet than a wild animal. It’s the same as keeping a pet alligator in Florida. Sooner or later the wildness inside the lion will burst out

I didn’t see that at all either I just saw a lion playing with toys and a blanket, pretty sure that’s not babying him… And I know you weren’t talking about previous owners as we know nothing about them and how they treated the lion.

For someone to get a cub and then later say that it’s getting too big and difficult for them to handle ....well that is not a responsible sensible human .
I never seen a lion play a lot by himself and at least he is not bored. Usually lions just sleep, kinda like a domestic cat. A lion and his blanket, sounds like a children's book. I am glad he is happy and his Caretaker is having best time with him. I bet she just loves her job. Nice video made me happy. 👏
Not all domestic cats sleep all day. My two cats are little hellions. The climb, bite and scratch everything. And there favorite place to sleep. On throw blanket and pillow. The lion plays like my cats.
@@lexdraws1729 yes but not all cats sleep all day. Maybe you have a cat, or even 2 or 3 in your life. I've had 5. Fostered 3 and helped my best friend (who rented a duplex from us) feed and raise the 12 cats, 11 that her one cat birthed, since I was 10 yrs old. I have 25 yrs of witnessing how every cat is not the same. Some cats are afraid of heights, bugs, even hamsters. Some can be like guard dogs and protect, just saying, most cats do have some common characteristics, but some are very very unique. Some spend 80-90% sleeping and being lazy. A few can be awake most of the day and sleep at night. Some sleep in intervals during the day and night. It depends on the cat. The cat I have now, has my night time sleep schedule. And will take some cat naps, but she is extremely curious, and very destructive and very much awake while in awake. Which makes for a hazardous combo and a headache. most of the day, she is playing or ripping something to shreds, but if I lay down after work, to read and relax, she'll come to sleep 'with me'. Its her favorite thing. Cant sleep without me. Just saying g every cat can be different. Sorry if it was to long. ✌
Got to hang out with Lambert one afternoon, he was amazing! Had his tongue out the entire time LOL These animals are so amazing, I know its sad how they came to be where they are, but they are so blessed to be in such amazing care, and respected for the amazing creatures they are.
@@a.i.m.f8567 which is even worse imo. So you just rip a predator out of its natural habitat during its most important part of life when it comes to socialization and adapting to life, screw up everything and toss him out once he starts to grow.

@@williamdiffin28 You know lions raised in captivity don’t really do that, especially towards those that raised them. Also, if that ever happened, (which it won’t bro) the lion would probably be killed by police and shit shortly after. But I don’t think you were being serious because nobody that is that idiotic, (I hope lmao) so that joke wasn’t really amusing.
@@shadycnetwork Yeah but at his size he doesn't need claws to seriously hurt someone if the mood came to him. Remember that he's probably a good 200+ pounds of muscle. I'm sure that most of the time he's like a big kid, but there is a reason he's no longer a house pet. :)
I’ve heard about ‘exotic’ pets being kept in cruel conditions, but realizing that he probably loves his blanket because his former family always gave him on tells me that they at least cared for him in their own way. Better than a lot of alternatives at least
It's way better than being kept by the owner in an enclosure with zero interaction or anything to do. I'm glad the owners owned up to it and did right by him. He's a lucky boy with his blankies. Lots of big game cats aren't so lucky.
There are many people with "bright" ideas. Just take alok around i shelters. 46% of dogs in America get abandoned/ left in shelters. In the US alone, Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized.
There are plenty of spoilt rich brats in Pakistan that buy baby lions and tigers for their kids and keep them in cages. Even the middle class can get their hands on these beautiful animals and some keep them in cages on their rooftops.......its absolutely sickening how these animals are abused And the government just turn a blind eye to it....
Bambina - Yes, it is heartbreaking to see so many wild animals lose their freedom, their families, every natural healthy aspect of their lives - because of the selfishness or EGOS of some STUPID HUMANS. It really burns me to see SO MUCH of that here on this thread! Rich people: GET A HEART AND SOME EDUCATION, and STOP HURTING INNOCENT CREATURES. Pour your curiosity and your care into YOUR OWN FAMILIES - LEAVE THE WILD FAMILIES ALONE!!
@@sameerazenib9678 yes I've seen videos of some rich Pakistanis torturing wild animals. It's illegal in india. You cannot keep wild animals here. The numbers in the jungle are increasing fortunately for tigers and leopards. But for some reason not the same for lions. I even see a lot of Americans with indian green parrots(ringnecks) as pets. And people think its cute. They are a protected species in india facing extinction thanks to such people who are buying them. Hence black marketing and smuggling
They couldn't be released even if they weren't de-clawed and de-fanged. People buying these as kittens should be held responsible financially for the animals care for the rest of its life.
these people make sure such species stay around for us to enjoy and not go extinct. The real idiots are those that just kill them in the wild. Texas will always be the reason Lions and Tigers don't go extinct in the world.
Yeah, it’s sad. No different from when breeders cut off tails or ears on dogs so they can increase the price. We know it’s painful. People are savages.
I don’t know why, but Lambert just standing there as he breaks the cardboard box, radiates the same energy as Big Bird breaking down a door... (Edit: I’ve been gone for almost a week HOLY MOTHER OF BIG BIRD)
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx
@Rochelle carmel God bless you in the name of Yeshua Hamashiach for speaking out without afraid people shamming you and hate you :) We are in the end times. Jesus Christ is returning very soon from the clouds. Matthew 24 and Revelation 6,7,8 is happening right before our eyes. The birth pain is more and more intense and frequent. When all these things happens look up for the coming of Jesus Christ.
Yep. They think it's cute then abandon the animals. People even do this with cats. Good thing there are shelters and good people taking care of these animals.
@@bk7064 No offence but, the lion would’ve been used for entertainment and when the excitement of having an ‘exotic pet’ wears off, people can be and are cruel. What lions should be are in the wild where they’re free not in some rich fool’s home where they’re declawed, stripped of what they need to survive in the wild.
It's illegal to do any of that that to any pet animal in the UK. When they de claw they remove not just the outer claw, but bone, up to their first knuckle. It leaves their paws tender for life & leads to cat avoiding litter trays because the gravel hurts. Electric 'shock' collars for pets are also illegal here.

I don't understand how someone can claim to want an animal as part of their life but then decide that they would like the animal better if it didn't have its fangs or claws or floppy ears or long tails or whatever other mutilation people practice on animals.
Cause they see everything as pets and when suddenly a cute kitten turns into massive carnivore that acts on its instincts namely predatory in nature they suddenly insert surprised Pikachu meme and need to do something about it, obviously crippling it. Since everything else would require a change in their lifestyle…
Animals do that to one another so it ain't just a human thing.... Our chimpanzee cousins do that to each others face and balls just when they feel like it.
The thing that most outrages me is these animals are declawed/defanged by qualified veterinarians. The stupid owners can perhaps claim ignorance but for somebody who clearly understands and supposedly cares about animals to mutilate them in such a way is beyond disgusting. Veterinarians who DON’T act in the animals best interests should lose their damn license to practice. It’s insane that this is even legal.

Damn, somebody call animal control. No wait, don't. Because they would probably take them somewhere not much better, or euthanize them. Maybe call a zoo or sanctuary of some sort that is closest, and ask them about it.

He was conditioned with a blanked as a pup so naturally that is his safe place, why people keep will animals as pets is beyond me and it should not be allowed
I am glad others who commented here agree that large wild animals as "pets" is not wise! I commented last year about someone who has a grown tiger stuck in a high fenced back yard area. It had a small pool, the "ground" was astro-turf, and they controlled the animal with a fire-extinguisher when it was upset. I commented it should be illegal. I then got cursed out by someone who told me to do some "research" first. I do NOT CARE what the intent of the person was who had the animal! They had no business keeping it where it was! I am glad this lion has a home and is cared for. And the world needs to stop trophy hunting and "pet" keeping of these animals!

These are usually voluntary, do you think the government funds this? They don’t. Sanctuaries usually run on voluntary work and donations. I think they have a pretty good space for now. But if they get more animals, which I hope not, they’ll need to expand. I’m sure they wish they could get more space for them, but sadly the government will almost never fund these. Not everyone can afford to donate too and most people that are extremely rich are too greedy to use their money for a good cause. Such is life.

@superlazycouchpotato preferably with sauce and sides
I mean, for all intents and purposes, that’s what they are now. Domestic cats and Wild cats, Big or Small, are all apart of the cat family. While Wolves and Dogs are different species, every cat is a cat. So it makes sense that try would act similarly when domesticated

Because they’re self-indulgent douchebags with a surfeit of $$$ and a deficit of wisdom - that’s why. And their children will grow up to be exactly like them. 🤨
My exact thoughts.
Stupid is as stupid does. Those idiot rich people have spoiled those beautiful animals of ever having a natural life. Thank you though to the lovely people that take them in.. Now the law should protect wild animals from idiot rich people and others from having wild animals as pets.
@45 fottuto stronzo
Texas DEFINITELY, and also Oklahoma. Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas because those states have very few laws on the books regulating “exotic” pet ownership. The trade thrives here. In fact, some of Exotic Joe’s cats were just taken in by an FDA-approved refuge (one of the few) in northwest Arkansas called Turpentine Creek. It’s a wonderful place. The cats will be happy & healthy there - UNLIKE they were under Exotic Joe . . . which is why his facility has been closed down!
"Oh look honey, this Lion cub we bought is growing" ffs.
It’s adorable but also dangerous. They should have gotten a dog or cat if they want a simple house pet than a wild animal. It’s the same as keeping a pet alligator in Florida. Sooner or later the wildness inside the lion will burst out

I didn’t see that at all either I just saw a lion playing with toys and a blanket, pretty sure that’s not babying him… And I know you weren’t talking about previous owners as we know nothing about them and how they treated the lion.

@@hubes96 i think he was talking about the previous owners who bought the lion cub as a pet , and not the sanctuary who rescued him . He was responding to a thread about how sensible people know that these animals are not pets . Any sensible person knows that lion cubs grow up to be huge and thats no stretch of the imagination. For someone to get a cub and then later say that it’s getting too big and difficult for them to handle ....well that is not a responsible sensible human .
Maybe they wanted him in good hands and didn’t know how to care for him
I never seen a lion play a lot by himself and at least he is not bored. Usually lions just sleep, kinda like a domestic cat. A lion and his blanket, sounds like a children's book. I am glad he is happy and his Caretaker is having best time with him. I bet she just loves her job. Nice video made me happy. 👏
Well, as long as the lion doesn't attack anyone
Not all domestic cats sleep all day. My two cats are little hellions. The climb, bite and scratch everything. And there favorite place to sleep. On throw blanket and pillow. The lion plays like my cats.
@@sillyme7920 Domesticated cats do sleep a lot, they sleep most of their lives, not to say they don’t play
@@lexdraws1729 yes but not all cats sleep all day. Maybe you have a cat, or even 2 or 3 in your life. I've had 5. Fostered 3 and helped my best friend (who rented a duplex from us) feed and raise the 12 cats, 11 that her one cat birthed, since I was 10 yrs old. I have 25 yrs of witnessing how every cat is not the same. Some cats are afraid of heights, bugs, even hamsters. Some can be like guard dogs and protect, just saying, most cats do have some common characteristics, but some are very very unique. Some spend 80-90% sleeping and being lazy. A few can be awake most of the day and sleep at night. Some sleep in intervals during the day and night. It depends on the cat. The cat I have now, has my night time sleep schedule. And will take some cat naps, but she is extremely curious, and very destructive and very much awake while in awake. Which makes for a hazardous combo and a headache. most of the day, she is playing or ripping something to shreds, but if I lay down after work, to read and relax, she'll come to sleep 'with me'. Its her favorite thing. Cant sleep without me. Just saying g every cat can be different. Sorry if it was to long. ✌
A lion and his blanket, that could definitely work as a Children's book
Got to hang out with Lambert one afternoon, he was amazing! Had his tongue out the entire time LOL These animals are so amazing, I know its sad how they came to be where they are, but they are so blessed to be in such amazing care, and respected for the amazing creatures they are.

So you just rip a predator out of its natural habitat during its most important part of life when it comes to socialization and adapting to life, screw up everything and toss him out once he starts to grow.

I've never seen a happy jolly lion like Lambert before he is so cute with his blankets
I’ve heard about ‘exotic’ pets being kept in cruel conditions, but realizing that he probably loves his blanket because his former family always gave him on tells me that they at least cared for him in their own way. Better than a lot of alternatives at least
Yes, but to think that they thought a lion would be a good pet?! That both scary and insane!
It's way better than being kept by the owner in an enclosure with zero interaction or anything to do. I'm glad the owners owned up to it and did right by him. He's a lucky boy with his blankies. Lots of big game cats aren't so lucky.
Lion cub as a pet for a family? Wtf is wrong with some people
There are many people with "bright" ideas. Just take alok around i shelters. 46% of dogs in America get abandoned/ left in shelters. In the US alone, Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized.
There are plenty of spoilt rich brats in Pakistan that buy baby lions and tigers for their kids and keep them in cages. Even the middle class can get their hands on these beautiful animals and some keep them in cages on their rooftops.......its absolutely sickening how these animals are abused
And the government just turn a blind eye to it....

@@sameerazenib9678 yes I've seen videos of some rich Pakistanis torturing wild animals. It's illegal in india. You cannot keep wild animals here. The numbers in the jungle are increasing fortunately for tigers and leopards. But for some reason not the same for lions. I even see a lot of Americans with indian green parrots(ringnecks) as pets. And people think its cute. They are a protected species in india facing extinction thanks to such people who are buying them. Hence black marketing and smuggling
They couldn't be released even if they weren't de-clawed and de-fanged. People buying these as kittens should be held responsible financially for the animals care for the rest of its life.
Absolutely!
I couldn't agree more. The laws for this kind of shit are way too relaxed.
They'd probably donate the animal to a trophy hunting club before they would take care of the animal's life they interrupted and ruined.

😂😂😂 I see it
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER

I have the distinct feeling that dearest Lambert was perhaps allowed to burrow into his previous home's warm beds...a truly delightful thought...however...wild animals should be just that...
Thank goodness for rescue sanctuaries...
Your laughter at his antics made my day a better one...
Thank you...🇿🇦
I always let all my pets/roommates share the bed, a large bed. Considering how much space a small cat can spread over, how can anyone possibly not realize a *lion* will soon take up most of a king size bed?!? It's understandable that someone gets a tiny puppy, genes unknown, that keeps growing and growing, but not giving him up because of it; and not understandable how anyone can get a purebred great dane or newfoundland and dump them at a shelter saying it's getting too big as if they did not know the breed's size. Or the lion's size, and appetite, and loudness. People can be so stupid.
Well, he's not wild. He's domestic.
@@kathryngeeslin9509 fr its common sense that certain breeds/animals would grow generally large-- but then again people can be super stupid. I just feel terrible for all the animals that have to deal with these owners' bs
@@CIorox_BIeach No big cats are domesticated even if they were raised by humans they’re still wild animals
@@swamp6825 "Domesticated" as in "raised by humans." Bred, like house cats and commonly domestic dogs, is a different thing. Whether, or not it's Bred for specific traits is irrelevant.
Thank you for giving these abused animals a safe place to live and thrive.
He's living his best life since he can't be released in the wild. I am so glad they give him his clean blankies every day.
What life lol
@@jaysam9117 life as in life lol, what do you mean 'what life'?
Fair enough but give them more space with greenery, or if you can’t acquire bigger space, don’t have a lion sanctuary.
@@basiaszendrei1603 bro🤦🏻♂️, so they should just die in the road or in the wild? Lol it’s always better to have something over nothing, these people have been doing it for years without your opinion so let’s keep it that way
@@marvelboy9268 would you want to live in a 4x4 cage for the rest of your life with no hope to ever roam on the grass?it’s not a life. It’s existence for the sake of it. First of all lions should not be bred for narcissistic pleasures of people and should not be owned. Head to lion whisperer channel and see how rescue lions should be kept
His highness needs fresh pressed sheets and a few hundred pillows now
Few hundred eh? 🤣
Few hundred eh? 🤣
And a call bell for his staff when the blanket needs straightening.
I believe in Lambert's supremacy
even though the family was insane for wanting to keep him as a pet, at least they were smart enough to bring him to a sanctuary for him to live
I'm happy that even though some may not be able to live in the wild, they're being well taken cared of with plenty of love.
I don't understand how someone can claim to want an animal as part of their life but then decide that they would like the animal better if it didn't have its fangs or claws or floppy ears or long tails or whatever other mutilation people practice on animals.
Cause they see everything as pets and when suddenly a cute kitten turns into massive carnivore that acts on its instincts namely predatory in nature they suddenly insert surprised Pikachu meme and need to do something about it, obviously crippling it. Since everything else would require a change in their lifestyle…
Far too many people make far too many choices based upon image and ego. They then hide behind the title of special. I call it lacking true character.
@@lindalowe337 Thank you - well said! 😿
Animals do that to one another so it ain't just a human thing....
Our chimpanzee cousins do that to each others face and balls just when they feel like it.
Some things like floppy ears can cause health issues. That’s why some species have them pinned up at birth.
The thing that most outrages me is these animals are declawed/defanged by qualified veterinarians. The stupid owners can perhaps claim ignorance but for somebody who clearly understands and supposedly cares about animals to mutilate them in such a way is beyond disgusting. Veterinarians who DON’T act in the animals best interests should lose their damn license to practice. It’s insane that this is even legal.
At the end of the day it’s the job and mofos need money fo da family.
@@williamsanders468 they are in the wrong business. As it is today, if you just want money, become a politician, anyone in the porn industry, or an influencer.
@@withien7554 The Porn Industry doesn't pay a lot of money. Lana Rhodes a former number 1 porn star only made a few hundred thousand (if even that) while 2 years on UA-cam she's become a multi millionaire, and the videos themselves made multi millions. Porn actresses also have to do and put up with some gross stuff for the kinks of male actors. So porn industry, despite popular belief, doesn't really pay well at all.
@@thefunnymofo7857 yeah now i understand why some porn actors decide to leave the industry at all or to work on their own
Declawing *any* animal should be illegal. You wouldn’t cut the finger tips off a human infant, so why the hell is it ok to do it to animals?
A lion making biscuits.. so freaking cute 🥰 Thank God this place can give Lambert and the other big cats what they need to enjoy their life and be happy. ❤️🦁🐯
It's atrocious that so called people think they can buy and keep those beautiful wild animals , they don't have the sense they should have been born with, thank goodness, this gorgeous lion was given up , and given the respect and love of decent human beings the love that's given by that lady on the video has no bounds God bless you 🌹
The declawing and defanging really got me. I don’t understand why people are allowed to have big cats. It’s all an ego thing to make them feel special and powerful. I had a co-worker whose husband got three cougars just because he wanted them. When they got too big and destructive for the house he put them in a pen outside, where they live to this day.
Damn, somebody call animal control. No wait, don't. Because they would probably take them somewhere not much better, or euthanize them. Maybe call a zoo or sanctuary of some sort that is closest, and ask them about it.
Please call a sanctuary and get them taken away. They live miserable lives there and would be so much happier in a sanctuary. Please, please, please get them taken away!
@@Mar-ft9xu I should’ve said enclosure rather than pen. They’re fed, not abused; it’s the fact that he got them in the first place just so he could have them. I agree they would be much better off at a sanctuary. Unfortunately, the law allows people to have them.
I don’t even know how they can afford one in the first place o-o
@@gabe-po9yi but did u call animal
control or a good sanctuary? Did u even try? It is not allowed. Please call a good sanctuary and they will take them away. Enclosure is not allowed for wild animals. It is still animal abuse bcos too small. I don't know how people can watch wild animals in constricted environment and have no heart of sympathy. If I knew this guy, d animals would be in d sanctuary by now.
De-clawed and de-fanged just to be a family pet. Humans are terrifying.
Its funny how people think that will stop a full grown lion from killing you.
@@xBloodxFangx will make it harder but it still could. But would never be able to survive in the wild.
The laughter of his carers is the most beautiful thing. He's obviously loved and cherished
I have never seen my favorite Big Cat with such a happy, content, playful personality
Wow. A “children’s pet”. Sounds like a horrible family
True
Potentially dysfunctional as far as I’m concerned
Money can't buy intelligence or common sense.
soon as i heard that shit i was disgusted like obviously a lion is gonna be too much for y’all dumbasses 🤦🏾♂️
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER
If you have any questions let me know xx
A lion as a “family pet”? Why not get an African elephant for the next one? Or a Black Mamba?
Like really? 😂😂
Sadly Texas has little regulation or control of exotic pets as long as you obtain a permit for one you can buy a baby lion or tiger or even a bear for a few thousand dollars
Yeh Weird right?
@@christopherbzowski4346 so sad u can get a permit to keep a large potential DANGEROUS wild animal???????????
elephants arent anywhere near as dangerous or restrict-needing as Lions, and Black mambas arent as dangerous as Lions either in this context.
You could have mentioned any animal aside from elephant.
@@prehistoriccreature1800 do you know African elephants? Like I'm not talking about the Indian ones, but the African “Force of Destruction” ones. Our huge safari bus literally almost got thrown in a river by two males (someone was wearing citrus scented perfume). 😂 They wanted to mug us 😂 (welcome to South Africa).
Black Mambas are also very dangerous, though perhaps their scarcity may make them seem less dangerous. Regardless, a Black Mamba is the last thing I'd want as a pet at least, or anywhere near me for that matter. I'd let a whole pride of lions into my house twice, rather than one of those things😂. Maybe it's my Bantu natural hatred of snakes coming in, I don't know, but those things aren't to be messed with and are a lot riskier than lions😂.
That female keepers laugh is infectious - you can hear the joy in her laugh she gets from looking after these animals
Ya I wouldn’t be surprised if releasing them into the wild was their first thought tho 😂
Imagine seeing a Lion at night wrapped in a comfy blanket wondering around in the neighborhood 😂😂😅😊❤❤!!!
Sending him out into the Wild at this point would be cruelty.
A declawed lion in the wild is a dead lion.
@@tsukikoamagiri not to mention how they are cared. All those blankets, toys, etc. I don’t think those lions would be use to not having that in the wild.
Exactly
even if it had claws,it would not survive in the wild since it has zero wild experience it would be easily killed by the wild lions
@@tsukikoamagiri They didn’t say he was declawed, they said some of cats are declawed but he would definitely not survive long at all. Instincts only go so far, because lions learn a lot from their pride as they’re growing up. His chances of hunting for himself, then getting a pride, & just being a wild lion, would be slim. The fact that he has no fear of humans would work against him too.
Am I the only one who’s shocked that a family fricken tried to own a lion!!?!?!? that’s horrifying. Mainly for the lion. That’s- just so wrong.
I would like to own a tiger I wouldn't Declaw him and would even give him some daily workout how does that sound
@@rajneshb8305 homie its a wild animal, no matter how good an owner you are its bad
Money and stupidity are a dangerous combination.
@@twigbrain you can legally sell a cat. You own lmao

He’s precious!💚
"Oh no, this cute Lion cub is turning into a Lion"
Morons.

The floor is made out of floor
Well, no fucking shit. It's like adopting a kitten, then being shocked that turned into a grown up cat. What the hell?!
@@SmokeyTheDragon2004 the amount of stupid people living in the world today is just unbelievable
@@ClassicGamer9044 Isn't it? Too many..
This place is actually really nice to visit if you’re ever in Wylie, Texas. I used to go there all the time when I was younger. From what I remember they have a variety of large cats and even some other exotic animals. The owner is a really nice lady and it’s easy to tell that she cares a lot about the animals
God bless you for taking care of our gigantic felines
I love ❤ Lambert. He's gorgeous and incredible. Thanks for taking such good care of him. He's a love bug. Everybody loves a snuggly blanket. ❤❤❤😊
He was conditioned with a blanked as a pup so naturally that is his safe place, why people keep will animals as pets is beyond me and it should not be allowed
"Lambert With Pink Polka Dots" sounds like a picture book waiting to happen, JS
He act's like a big Puppy Dog 😂
Thank You For The Smile And Happiness ! God Bless
Beautiful and heart warming to see☘️☘️☘️
I love tigers and lions so much 🙏💙Animals deserve so much more love & protection !
I am glad others who commented here agree that large wild animals as "pets" is not wise! I commented last year about someone who has a grown tiger stuck in a high fenced back yard area. It had a small pool, the "ground" was astro-turf, and they controlled the animal with a fire-extinguisher when it was upset. I commented it should be illegal. I then got cursed out by someone who told me to do some "research" first. I do NOT CARE what the intent of the person was who had the animal! They had no business keeping it where it was! I am glad this lion has a home and is cared for. And the world needs to stop trophy hunting and "pet" keeping of these animals!
If that other person lives near you. Call it in. So they can come out and get the animal and find new home.
Not only cruel but dangerous! It's a wild animal and needs to be living in the wild. Call someone if you know where they live. I swear people are stupid. 🤦♀️
With how much he likes to have a blanket with him, he clearly should have been named Linus.
That's a cute name, too but being named after a 1952 Disney short is pretty cool too.
You misspelt Lionus
Or Lafcadio
@@guyskillen Dammit you beat me to it! GMTA😁
@@wilhoroshak6253 Lol, why Lafcadio? All I can think of is ancient Japanese ghost stories now 👻 (which would totally freak out the poor scaredy-cat lion).
The smallest bit of love towards another life form go's SOOOO far.
Blessed be...
God will bless you taking care of these animals❤
The sanctuary seems rather small. There doesn't seem to be much vegetation either. I hope the rescued big cats' needs are sufficiently fulfilled.
These are usually voluntary, do you think the government funds this? They don’t. Sanctuaries usually run on voluntary work and donations. I think they have a pretty good space for now. But if they get more animals, which I hope not, they’ll need to expand. I’m sure they wish they could get more space for them, but sadly the government will almost never fund these. Not everyone can afford to donate too and most people that are extremely rich are too greedy to use their money for a good cause. Such is life.
Youre right, but i think theyre doing what they can with what they have
I thought the same when I first watched the video but they seem to make up for it as much as they can with enrichment they provide.
A bitter sweet story about Lambert who should never have been taken from the wild. Thank goodness the sanctuary care for him so well. 🤗
May have been his ancestors taken from the wild, most big cats in pet trade are captive bred with little concern for genetics.
He's GORGEOUS!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The woman’s laugh, so sweet. Tell they love him.xxx
Sweet Lambert is a handsome boy and he is so loved at In-Sync!! He’s my favorite kitty to see when we visit!
I was blown away when they said Lion cub as family pet, and then they said Texas... And everything made Sence ✌️
This just makes me smile from ear to ear. A lion who loves his blanket❤
He's got that playful, goofy personality! I love it. He's absolutely adorable. 😘😘😘😘🦁
Who in their right mind would think a lion is a good pet?
Taking the children from such parents should be taken into consideration too.
Yes,they don't deserve children.Selfish and bad mentality.Shame on you!
A big cat being a human and the fact that he can roll himself in a blanket is just wholesome
They need love and comfort too.
I can really appreciate those people for donating Lambert to a rescue where he will live a happy and long life, but it doesn’t make up for the dumb decision to get him in the first place.
