Injured lion searches for help in the African jungle - BBC wildlife

[kevinserna100]

this is so sad, i love lions there beautiful creatures. i dont know why people respond to ignorant people who say dumb shit.

[Terilyn04]

If you are going to post these videos, the least you can do is tell what happens.... stupid BBC clips always end before what happens to the poor animal.

[Junde801]

@Terilyn04

She did heal. This was on Bigcatweek.

[gregboyds]

I LOVE IT WHEN LIONS GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. THEY SERIOUSLY INJURE OTHER ANIMALS ALL OF THE TIME. LIONS DESERVE PAYBACK.

[Cancer6667]

@gregboyds fuck you! we, humans kill alot of animals to eat them JUST like that lion that means you like when a man gets killed by a "lion,shark,ETC) you should die and that lion live and be healthy again GO DIE IN A HOLE NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU!

[vervenia]

what the heck help her! if i sound crazy about helping her im a girl i love cats and im 8!

[gregboyds]

@vervenia What about all of the other animals that lions injure and kill all of the time? Don't you think that lions actually deserve to get hurt themselves because they hurt other animals all of the time?

[nguoiemnhobe]

ai quay được cảnh nầy hay thế.

[nguoiemnhobe]

hãy cho nó sống theo bản năng tự nhiên nhé...

[fedokuwokkam]

those wounds seem like those from hyena attack from behind and from below. lions bite neck or back.

[iedanus]

@fedokuwokkam not when its 4 against 1

[thedemonunderyourbed]

the fact your filming means your disturbing nature so help the fuking think out..theres less and less of them in the wild.and too see it suffer is disgusting.

[123ziggy123zig]

@thedemonunderyourbed because this program is about the NATURAL order of things...its not about them protecting or preserving the animals. They don't tag or anything. They are just documenting their lives. Treating it would be interfering and messing everything up. Sometimes they have to die. Thats the circle of life (cue lion king music)

[thedemonunderyourbed]

@123ziggy123zig its not the order of things t sit there with a film crew. they dont belong there..whos to say them being there distracted the lion for a second.

[getalought42]

alligator,catfish and brim

[BKastanioti]

Filming and following the lions is not part of the natural wilderness so this crew could have used their human capabilities/mass equipment to help this lion out. They sure went far out of their way to be there with these lions.

[thedemonunderyourbed]

@BKastanioti well said my point to.film crew being there alters the nature of it.

[darkwolf38]

If they helped the lion, they would need to help the animal they're hunting on too. Death, like it or not, is a part of life. Sad, but true. Hope she can bounce back.

[oostacyoo]

Poor girl....>_<...

[theGroveMan]

Poor thing....Why don't these fuckers take animals like these to the zoo where they can at least survive? Breaks my heart..

[SaintMvP]

if that was me i would have helped the lion.

[jiga06]

he never seen a lion walk like that b4? Ha! clearly someone hasnt watched SIMBAS PRIDE when he got jumped

[killjoy666ful]

poor lioness

[rapunzeljenn]

Poor thing, I hope she made it or died quickly :(

[newjack187]

shoulda used a trank and helped her out....i mean come on humane right.....shits sad

[crizme3183]

then what happened to her?

[andykennery]

so why dont they trank it and help it and release it back the next day or w.e? i believe in that case ytou are not interfeering.

[jawnniez]

ah but it is interfering.

its the wild

things kill, get killed and get injured making it easier for other animals to take advantage of them and kill them

its how the cycle works

if you suddenly start taking care of lions so that they are never injured in the wild, they'd have a greater advantage in the wild over other creatures who dont get taken care of, thereby interfering with nature

to not interfere is to leave it as it is.

its a shame, and you dont want to, but you cant do anything else

[jasveenpuri]

@jawnniez we interefere with nature anyways everyday at a scale that is unimaginable annywyas!

[thedemonunderyourbed]

@jawnniez so if it in the wild stay away with your film crew.thts not nature.

[peachesandpoets]

@andykennery Because that's interfering with nature, and usually researchers and documenters prefer not to.

[kevinw02]

reminds me of my dog that just passed away :(

[sangwria]

lol

[2chromedout]

im sorry :(

[Scarlett4evaFever]

@Mocchaa I sooo agree with you Thumbs up :)

[a540guy]

teenage boys messing with the old lady down the street is what it seems like here

[xboredBITCH]

I hope that poor girl's okay.

[ResponseSBD]

I feel sorry for that lion.

[xDontFaintx]

@ResponseSBD Feel sorry ?

Why dont u go help her ?

Then when she eats you we wil still see if u feel sorry ;D

Btw why are they just filimint and not treating it ?

[123ziggy123zig]

@xDontFaintx because this program is about the NATURAL order of things...its not about them protecting or preserving the animals. They don't tag or anything. They are just documenting their lives. Treating it would be interfering and messing everything up. Sometimes they have to die. Thats the circle of life (cue lion king music)

[lewis885]

oh fuckyou people,lion lion lion,fuck lion

[opieto]

she looks bad not good

[RoyAskid]

The reason we help Lions is the same reason we help all predators it is because we are predators as hunters we see ourselves in them.

[angelic510]

true.

[TheFirstArkady]

ehm..no..we help them becouse they are important to the eco balance

[zeppelinfanatic100]

aw poor thing

[ed2kou1]

Damm I just watched this today, on animal planet. I thought, I was watching new stuff guess not.

[Gana24]

I don't get some posters..why would the BBC upset nature? This wasn't filmed at a zoo. This is the lions' natural environment. It's the circle of life- things live, they die- it's what's supposed to happen. No good can come from BBC interfering. Humans have been messing with animals and the environment for too long as it is ( with permanent negative consequences).

[Mahoney8T7]

its funny people wanna help a lion in trouble, yet when something defenceless gets eaten alive people stand and watch and post it on youtube....duh!

[Mahoney8T7]

why should they help this moraless beast?

[Spammmz]

why should some1 help u, if ure sick and defenseless?..cuz its right stupid fuck

[Mahoney8T7]

you cannot interfere with nature....and no with a degree in medicine i don' think i am a stupid fuck

[Spammmz]

it was in response to you calling it a moraless beast. go shove ure phd or whatever, up your pompous ass.

[Mahoney8T7]

i will but i dobt you will be able to do the exact same.....but you continue to watch videos all day little boy

[Spammmz]

all day?..just got home from work..father

[ArikaAnn]

that was stupid they show her aproach the other lions,you start wanting to see what happens when she reaches them and then "the end!"

[bonboin]

because you dont fuck with nature. if she was meant to live then she will live. as a photographer like that your not one to go around and help every little animal that has a booboo.

[kukuness]

:( so sad.

[flip43v4]

why didnt u guys help the lioness!??!?!?!

[sanaa99]

so why didn't you help it or u only know how to shot videos!

[drawingmaster]

@sanaa99 Theyre not allow to interfere with nature

[music0cool]

@drawingmaster oh oops i said the same thing as u. haha. :)

[music0cool]

@sanaa99 they can't interfer with nature althought yes, it is sad.

[shedtic]

@sanaa99 Yes, they only know how to make videos, they're documentary makers, not a wandering band of veterinary surgeons.

[CharlieXrotti]

@sanaa99 Let nature take it place I guess

[theGroveMan]

@CharlieXrotti

That is a stupid remark.....

[8osman8]

@sanaa99 Because they must let the mother nature do her job, and that reserve as others forbids camaramen and that kind of people to do anything...

[mjp2501]

I sure hope she is able to recover, it will be a slow painful death if she can not bounce back.

[luckycharm33333]

hi my name is ukslav im from russia i like lions

[changchih228]

i agree

[zeppelinfanatic100]

Ah this video is sad

[hailwillis]

The planet needed a villan so it invented humans, The planet needed some excitement so it invented humans, We are the spice of the earth, we give the earth flavor. We are no hero to the planet, We can't destroy this planet, how arrogant and foolish we are to think that we can destroy something that has been around for billions of years. The earth will destroy us before we destroy it, the process has already begun. The planet is the hero and we are the villian and I think the planet is enjoying

[apharot]

ROFL. thanks. I needed a laugh!

[ChadMedellin]

ur mean.

it was funny though!

[N10100]

ok. i hope u get injured like that if u think its so funny.

[apharot]

I was laughing at HailWilis1, not the video.

[hornetpalooza]

Stop your crying, that's how nature goes. What if nobody was there filming, who would help her then? Just enjoy the fact that humans built civilisation to escape those harsh conditions.

[hailwillis]

Humans built an anarchy not civilization, Humans built a fucking pyramid scheme, not civilization, check the back of your dollar bill buddy, Humans have built a global slavery empire not civilization. Your life is spent on working your ass off everyday and being controlled by the few who have all the money You are not free Thanks to your so called civilization. So don't think Humans are special they're the worst thing that ever happened to this planet. Total obnoxious creatures

[lulitwi]

Amen!!

[CandyCrayon91]

I agree! Well spoken.

[Beezy2127]

theyre not interfering theyre just filming what the hell is going on.

[natija08]

Filming IS interfering TOO! They go there by cars, they disturb and bother a lot of animals.

So the "golden rule" of not interfering is a (self) deception.

[unaltramareggiata]

men manipulate nature every single minute. there is no more a "pure" nature. since men interfere with it, they also become responsible in front of it. in front of animal pain. no helping is hypocrite, ideological and guilty

[F1337]

"Ive never seen a lion with injuries this bad"

"ive seen lions with much worse injuries bounce back"

Fuckin 'ell BBC man make up your mind

[ladykillerrr]

He said "Ive never seen a lion walking like this" ... Nothing about never seeing injuries that bad.

[zeppelinfanatic100]

The poor girl

[JongeWolf]

of course they dont need doctors. for a good balance in life, its needed that some animals die, or survive without human help. that makes the strongest race. I swear, when i get bit by a snake, i dont even want medicine, casue if i did, i would think that im more important than a snake, who gets breeded just for science, which im against

[Puntsok4]

so sad, they should help as they are considered endangered

[twilyhtdwellers]

Its nature man. they need to kill to survive and everyday cost there lives. They are like that for thousands of years. no need of doctors

[vaccine23]

and the fellow didn't even bother to send some aid or something... using the excuse of "i've seen other lions worse than that bounce back".

[wurble]

the golden rule of filming wildlife is to not interfere with it. it's about watching nature as it's played out. you can't start bringing paramedics in to sort out injured wild animals... cos then you're watching animal hospital. and this is about observing the wild in their natural enviroment.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

they need to get some doctors out there with the film crew

[martiandoll]

no, they don't. this is a show about nature. you bring in doctors to help those animals out, it becomes a "man-made" show: humans interfering with what occurs naturally in the wild, and the show loses its purpose.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

who cares if the show loses money, at least the poor lion can still be alive. your so mean!

[Varda87]

This is nature- they cannot interfere. Wherever man interferes nature is destroyed. Nature is cruel - you are too used to your man-made jungle and easiness of life.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

then whoever created this world is EVIL!!!

[Varda87]

Hehe you tell that to the religious people who claim otherwise. MrsDani... nature is all about survival of the fittest. Even though these scientists would like to interfere and trust me it's not nice watching an animal die and knowing you could save it, do nothing, they can't. If they do interfere the animal might die nonetheless. Humans cause the death of millions of animals, species are going extinct day by day and you're complaining about one lion. This is one loss compared to thousands...

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

dont say i'm complaining. they should fix her and maybe get her out of the wild in a safe place where she can rest up. i nice big yard, not a cage.

[Varda87]

The sad thing is she probably will become too dependent upon humans and will not be able to return to the wild. She will spend the rest of her life in a cage...

[natija08]

Sorry, but that's bullshit!

This lion is born in nature. She knows everything she has to know about killing an animal.

[Varda87]

Depending upon what's wrong with her she might not even make it through the stress of being caught, tranquilised and transferred, operated and kept captive until she heals. These people have studied what they do - I suggest you leave the decisions to the educated ones (in this field).

[natija08]

Oh yes of course, the educated ones ...

The educated ones told us, that we have to eat meat to be healthy. That was wrong.

The educated ones abuse animals for their reputation in laboratories. What a cruelty!

And the educated ones think it's o.k. to tranquilise an animal for their research.

They always do what they ever wont to, even if they harm and torture the animals. But of course they didn't wont to take the responsibility for helping an animal.

[Varda87]

Environmentalists don't do all those things above... And it is healthy to eat meat anyway... conservationists don't experiment on animals etc etc. Things like that take place in medical research and I too am against it. Perhaps they could have shot her to put her out of her misery - but at the same time perhaps she would make it out alive. They have their reasons for not killing them and letting nature take its course.

[natija08]

O.k., you are an environmentalist and you try to conserve nature, that's good.

But I don't agree with your opinion, that meat is healthy for us. It's not.

If you don't believe me, read a book about a vegan diet. You can find a lot of information on you tube too.

Even cats and dogs can eat vegan food and stay healthy.

[Varda87]

No they can't. Cats can't digest vegetables.. they will die... Meat is an important part of their diet - as for dogs they can eat anything. Whether to be vegan or not is ones choice and a different subject to this...

[natija08]

A vegan diet doesn't mean only vegetables.

I read about cats LOVING melones, peas, pumpkin, seitan and tofu etc.

I answered to your opinion, that man HAS TO eat meat.

It's not true.

I was told that story too in my childhood.

Nowadays the meat industrie is brainwashing the people, that meat is healthy. They only want us to buy their food, which is based on animal cruelty.

[Desperada57]

Thank you - people can choose what they wish to eat - animals must follow their instincts.

Dogs can survive without meat, but cats cannot.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

i said i DONT want her in a cage. i big HUGE yard would be nice for her.

[timlachance25]

wow dani your still quite naive arent you? sorry i dont mean to be rude but this is the way of the world if you save her this day who will save her the next? when its your time its your time thats all and im sre she would rather dye defending her pride then in a cage turned into a circus attraction if they gave her medical attention she would be out of the wild for a minimum couple months then she goes back but her hunting skills are rusty and to get a meal there you got to bring your a game

[RealTranssexual]

Why are people fighting over helping a lion... Unfourtunately, I must say, Human beings, are kind of apart of nature, If the human chooses to do so well help the lion then so the fuck what? Humans and lions are indeed both animals and both apart of nature, and no one has no idea what the interaction between the 2 would cause. "Nature is blah" shit really gets old, Nature changes everyday, doesn't EVOLUTIONIST teach that lil bit of info? They did their job and didn't bother to help, the end.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

you are totally right

[natija08]

The theory of not interfering is bullshit.

Man daily interferes a lot - even in africa. Isn't it an interfere to go there with cars?

And of cource I am sorry about the poor lion like Mrs. Dani is. If she (the lion) has to die, it would be better to give her a good shot, so she isn't forced to suffer such a lot.

[Varda87]

Yes, and wherever man has interfered nature gets destroyed. Cars pollute the planet, fishing removes food for marine mammals, America interferes in Iraq fucking up that country for good. Where has interfering by man brought good upon nature? Are you blind? We are losing 30 species a day because of human interference, and this planet is dying. This is nature. Live with it. Let the lion go down the natural way and stop interfering with nature. Humans have done enough harm as it is!

[natija08]

I think, you misunderstood me.

I am AGAINST the destroying of our planet!

I ment, that the interfering by helping this poor animal would make no difference for the nature, but it would help the poor animal.

I didn't say, that man should save every injured animal. That's not possible. But they discovered this poor lion - and COULD help her.

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

yeah true. except i wouldnt want her to be shot. i would put her in a HUGE yard miles long and beautiful trees. that way she wont have to be in a cage after they help her.

[natija08]

I don't WONT her to be shot, I wont her to be helped. But this Perhaps COSTS a lot. I think, THAT'S the real reason for the thesis of "not interfering".

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

i would spend all my money on her. i love to help animals.

[natija08]

That's a very good idea! There ARE some possibilities for helping a lion, for example in "Lion's rock", South Africa (?).

I love to help animals too.

I think the best help for all animals (and humans) is not to eat any meat. You can save an animal's live every day! That's great!

[x3MrsDaniFilthx3]

yup i've been a vegetarian for a year and for the rest of my life.

[Desperada57]

Ahh....no. The slowest, cruelest way you can kill a cat is to put it on a vegetarian diet. Cats are 100% carnivores - they must eat meat to stay alive.

natija08 said:

[natija08]

@Desperada57

1. A vegetarian diet doesn't mean only vegetables. You can buy vegan food for cats which contains all vitamins, minerals, proteins etc. a cat needs.

2. I think you misunderstood my comment. I ment, that you would save the FARM ANIMALS, if you don't eat meat. For all these animals it would be better, if they weren't born.

3. If humans stop eating meat, we could save even our human companions from starvation.

[ramboas93]

not true at all cats have been known to eat grass to cure stomach pains and also to use as energy if they couldnt find anything better to eat. so they infact not 100% carnivores buy yes they do need to eat meat to survive as grass will only do for maybe couple days.

[natija08]

If the poor lion has to die, it would be better if they shoot her to make it easy for her.

[Varda87]

Did you ask the lion if it wants to be shot?

[natija08]

You again misunderstood my post.

IF the lion HAS to die, it would be better for her to die fast and don't suffer a lot.

I am against every hunting! I hate these hunters. They shoot all these poor animals JUST FOR FUN!

[MugenNoJunin]

A real shame.

[sabagyal9]

:( POOR THING
