A beautiful movie! Loved that film when I was a kid. Today, I've got a little female cat ( a blue russian). I named her Elsa!

Unfortunately with the damages done by human beings to the enviornment, how many magnificant animals will be BORN FREE, say, 100 years from now?

From what I recall, this movie was remarkably faithful to book, unlike Living Free which you wonder if they even read the book. (And yes, I know Living Free the movie was based on Forever Free the book.)

Teaching them to hunt and kill again is a daunting task but it can be done. Usually I start them out with smaller prey, like teenage girls and gradually have them hunt down larger game. Thus far my program has reintroduced over 7 serial killers back into the wild. I even tag them with a radio collar so i can periodically tranquilize and weigh them, measure them and check their teeth and such.  I can report that they are all doing quite well.

Much the same as this couple did with lions I am now doing with serial killers, taking them from captivity and reintroducing them to their natural habitat, the inner cities. I start by forming a trusting relationship with them (i never forget they are dangerous animals...) and teaching them to hunt and fend for themselves on the inner city streets. I am proud to say that last month the first of my reintroductions had young! Yes, 2 healthy cubs.
