There was another story featured here on this website last year in which
an African Lion guarded a young woman from being further assaulted by
a rape gang who had already beaten and raped her. She got away from
her assailants and got behind the lion who would not allow her assailants
to further attack her. The lion waited patiently until another group of humans
who knew her came along to rescue her. The lion allowed them access to her.

I'm saddened every time a human interest story like this comes along for
my friend Animalia Libero is no longer on this website as our community
member to comment on it. Animals have the same heart and sentience as
humans do. It's only the collossal Fascist egocentricity of humans who
believe they can't feel what we feel. As if the bloody specism of humans
somehow made us the "master race ". The expression on that Tiger's face
is one of Love & Peace. I genuinely pity those who can't get past their
abominable fear long enough to see that feeling. When you see how
elephants mourn for their dead, or canines lying beside their human
companion's grave, or see the bonding between individuals of different
species as yet other stories posted on Current.com your mind is opened..
Accept it.

Glad you liked it.

I've blogged UTube stories of a couple rearing an orphaned male lion cub
then releasing it into the wild, then returning much later to see how their
adopted cub was faring. The lion showed up, showed them his new family,
stood on his hind legs, hugged & nuzzeled them both. Bhuddists like myself
have always believed that God reincarnates human souls into animal bodies.
If you saw what I saw, you'd swear it was a person hugging & nuzzeling them,
Colleen. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Thanks for sharing that, PressCore. Beautiful.

Look at that!

Any large cat would be proud to play with that.

Perhaps he should be the mascot for a NEW party ?

Well, they are desperately trying to reshape their image.. They could learn a lot from the Tiger!

That should be the caption for the picture.

Agreed! Beautiful story, thanks for posting...

I guess he was never taught to kill for food. Kind of like a big house cat.

Indubitably fair B-Man. Uhm, you walk in first. Play with big kitty.

Not me I'm brain damaged not stoopid

Perhaps he wight like a female cat to live next door ....

Now that will bring about some changes in a real fast way.

A nice story.
