    Kevin was allowed in the den when the cubs were less than a week old. Kevin was allowed by the lioness to interact with her cubs when they are in their most vulnerable state. Lionesses will chase off their own sisters at that age. It's just remarkable

    At some places that has lions, handlers/trainers say that the mother would not allow them to handle or work with her cubs. So they say they must remove them from her in order to hand raise them. In one video I saw the handler said it is not a big deal and the mother mourns her cubs for only a little while. The methods Kevin uses is very different. He seeks to establish trust with the mother and then she trusts him to let him handle her cubs. I think his way is the best and most humane way. I'm not visiting these other places, nor watching their videos.

    Kevin Richardson is extraordinary and amazing. It's rare to see a human be accepted in a pride of wild lions. Now I know why I was meant to see someone like Kevin being with lions. Life is meant for us to see and learn some very wonderful unusual things. You can make the impossible become the possible. That's what Kevin shows despite the risk.
    I know that lions can be very dangerous. But I have heard of one story about a twelve year old girl. To make the story short, the girl was told she was to marry an old man. The girl strongly refused. The villagers beat up the girl for her refusal. The girl was thrown into the wild and couldn't get up after being beaten. The lions see the girl. But the lions don't eat her. They sympathized with her and they watched over her. When the other humans came around, the lions stood their ground and protected the girl. They wouldn't let any human come near her. Life goes to show you that even dangerous animals can care to protect you.
