i love the 2:15 section, it's like the cat is thinking "humans r good 4 something! kitty pick me up or a kitty back ride!" poor thing certainly didn't like the water at all, but glad shes doing well.
this animal is getting better because of the hydrotherpy and doesn't need to be sacrificed or destroyed. have to remind nascut1984 never to be a conservationist. it should make a person feel glad in wating to SAVE and not destroy an animal and in the end them turning out fine and the animal can live out the rest of its life. heck if the cat can lope and almost run like that y would any1 want 2 do away with it? come on!
@springlake03 Absolutely I agree, there are lots of people who do, it is one of the most rewarding jobs there is working in animal rehabilitation, and caring for those that need human assistance.
i'm assuming that cage is small for traveling safety purposes, a big cage isn't too good at keeping an animal stationary. it doesn't need a luxury suite to ride in.
She's going to think her name is "good girl". I think this is great how they are helping this cat-child because in the wild, she would have perished long time ago. Good work!
its good that they are helping. its sad that the lion will never really know what the wild is like, because of its domestication to ppl. but its good that it gets a second chance.
she is beautiful!!...poor girl....cats dont like water lol....she looked like she was about to bite that ladys hand off haha....that would have been bad.....hope she gets better
I predict in 2 months, you will have a killer case of diarrhea and shit your brains out. oops too late, you did that last week before you made your stupid comment.
kinda brings the PETA bastard out of me. pretty touching to see someone take such care of such beautiful creatures. Personally, i think the lion cub is waiting for his chance.
Good day to all of my fellow Christians, firstly my apology for being out of topic. I came here to remind you people that the judgment day has been starting already. I urge you my fellow Christians to depart from all form of unchristian conduct lest you be found not worthy to inter the kingdom of God in the Day of Execution. Please do not misinterpret my activity as spam; I did not do it for that purpose.
Did you not hear about Siegfried and Roy? Or the countless other stories of lions and tigers in captivity attacking their owners and caretakers? The bottom line is that these are meat eating predators that survive on their instincts. Obviously they have some capacity for learning, but if they feel threatened they will attack anyone and anything.
Countless? Roy wasn't attacked either, he was dragged when he fell. Injured most definitely but it's not a s simple as "they're predators."
The important thing is to remember the cubs grow. A playful pounce could be a bone crunching fatal blow, and of course the vast majority of people could never provide the time, space, and expensive food and medical care. It's important to emphasize very few can care for big cats and to not get a cub, but it's also important to keep things in perspective.
Samira was injured when she was 4 days old, but in this video she is about 4 months old. It's true that lions tend not to swim, but in this case hydrotherapy treatment gave her enough mobility to have a happy life.
A typical adult female Barbary/Atlas lion weighs approx 120 - 180kg. Samira probably weighs about 160kg now. She was still quite young when this video was taken, but she continued to get lifts from Pete for some time. See his 2008 MdS webpage for an incredible photo of her being carried up the steps when she was even bigger!
The lion is so full of energy and life in spite of her injury. So happy her leg could be exercised back to health. Thanks to the man in this video (Pete) for caring and not giving up. You're a Saint and the lion's Godsend.
The hydrotherapy helped Samira the Barbary/Atlas lion survive. She is in good health at Port Lympne and she even bore live cubs despite her slight disability. Pete Thompson is part of the Barbary Lion Project and genuinely understands both conservation and animals. His efforts to help Samira are outstanding.
If you're not a vegetarian, perhaps you should consider it, since you don't wanna interfere with nature, cause not matter what you say, there is not much natural about the way humanbeings eat meat,
And what about cars and the meatindustry causing gloabal warming.
We are in a possition to change the world, why shouldn't we use that power to save some of it at least sometimes?
It's probably a long time ago this lion got back on it feet.
We'll never be able to tell whether or not the discomfort was worth it, but if I could choose between being put to sleep and rehabilitation, I would have gone for the last despite the agony.
And, to me at least, that's what it all comes down to, empathy.
Therefore, and based on personal experience with rehabilitation both my own cats backlegs from suddenly not to be able to stand on at all (the vets still don't know why), to assume be jumping around like before again and the fact that rehabilitation does work generally, I can only asume that since it's over a year ago the video was uploaded, that he's fine by now. Or let me put it like this why shouldn't he?
I base my guess (that the lion is getting better) on THE FACT that the lion is getting better.
It's not optimism, it's logic, "an object in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force" it's condition is improving why and when should it stop?
The mud part was really an allusion to your "shit for brains" comment, not the the theory, but basicly it's survival of the fittest, happy?
Btw. I'm from Denmark, English is my second language, therefore the misspelling (which as far as I can tell only is were i wrote "not" instead of "no", but please enlighten me :b).
someone could say the same about your or another lame human. Why should the cub be put down? do you put down a human who has a broken leg. Like personally I think your stupid, some people might feel you should be put down for stupidity being an inferior trait and all. Perhaps you should grow a brain. Would you want someone to say you should be put down? for being a lame ignorant jack ass? :) thought not! ciao

Are you suggesting that the mother is not supposed to carry the cubs around? Maybe if the cub was stronger that would not happen. Shit happens, and it usually happens to the weakest. On the same note, maybe the mother was not the fittest and does not know how to carry the cubs around which in that case would kill her generation eliminating some of lions that not know how to carry their cubs around.

It's the survival of the fittest. They based their decisions on instinct. Do you see how much care the cub requires? The cub was going to die sooner or later in the wild. No need to waste time away from the healthy cubs.
Humans put in the same situation would do the same or worst. Just ask anyone that has climbed Everest to see what happens when somebody breaks a leg up there. That's right, unless you want to die, you leave them there.
You are the dumb ass. Your mother should have rejected you.
Animals reject offspring if the offspring seem to be defective. The reason is that in the wild the mother needs to maximize the chance of healthy offspring reaching adulthood. An animal offspring with a defect would have almost 0 chance of surviving in the wild. Therefor the parent animal does not allow the defective offspring to compete for resources (nursing, attention) that might mean the difference between living or dying for the offspring that are healthy.
AW poor girl...she looks almost terrified while putting on and taking off the vest and while in the water...well at least despite all that they're trying to help her!! XOXO ;-P
Animal cruelty? They're trying to help a lion cub survive. It's not like it's getting hurt by touching water and if it makes the lion able to survive I think a bit of water is a good thing.
I'm against animal cruelty just like most other people are but some of you guys take it too far. :/
Olivertheracist - you should stop talking and learn to realize that this animal is a miracle. unlike you you're just some lil fag who has no life so he has to act tough on the internet... but i bet you're a scared lil spoiled brat in reality.
on the other end... this cub is the cutest thing ever and im glad it still has it's leg!
so.. yeah... retard... get a life, or take your own and fuck off
To Olivertheretard: I agree with your username you are a retard. Lets see how you would walk like if someone bite you on the leg and through the tendons, racist bastard stop calling people a nigger. and is that all you can say? Nigger?

An animal offspring with a defect would have almost 0 chance of surviving in the wild. Therefor the parent animal does not allow the defective offspring to compete for resources (nursing, attention) that might mean the difference between living or dying for the offspring that are healthy.

Animal cruelty? They're trying to help a lion cub survive. It's not like it's getting hurt by touching water and if it makes the lion able to survive I think a bit of water is a good thing.
I'm against animal cruelty just like most other people are but some of you guys take it too far. :/
Cool video btw.

Olivertheracist - you should stop talking and learn to realize that this animal is a miracle. unlike you you're just some lil fag who has no life so he has to act tough on the internet... but i bet you're a scared lil spoiled brat in reality.
on the other end... this cub is the cutest thing ever and im glad it still has it's leg!
so.. yeah... retard... get a life, or take your own and fuck off
