It was interesting how the lion released and then almost just speedwalked to track the deer.

It was clearly a hunting “game” to the cat.

Too bad about the deer, but wild animals are first and foremost, animals.

Lots of small animals have been fatally injured when they enter my dog enclosure. Usually rabbits, squirrels and occasional muskrat.

No doubt this was the best day those lions have had in a very long time.

Aren’t ungulates supposed to lie with the lion at the second coming. Seriously, the dim messiah is present so this just does not make sense.

It would be interesting if the Lion actually ate the doe in front of the onlookers, I wonder how many would say the Lion murdered the doe and needed to be put down like a criminal

My guess it would be quite a few. All liberals

Is that tearing asunder or eternal torment?
