The incident at 1:30 shows it all for me. It's a feckin' LION, and it is going to behave like a lion, and one day it will kill somebody.

Talk about bl@@dy irresponsible owners!! ****

There are many causes for the decline of song birds; with many anthropological reasons higher on the list than cats...and if you believe that cats are wiping out 'all mammals', then it makes it difficult to have a rational discussion about the subject...

No, that was a typo. Should have read "small mammals". One of the reasons about 10 years ago that the RSPCA wanted to have the owning of domestic cats banned, until the realisation that old ladies with lots of cats, left them a lot of money....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Are you sure that's not the RSPB (as opposed to the RSPCA)? - And I doubt it was official policy.

Edit:...anyway we're getting away somewhat from the topic...

Too right.

I have been in with big cats and even when young tigers were sucking my fingers, I was very aware that they could easily rip my leg open with their claws. Similarly, having a young lion sitting on me, their paws are MASSIVE.

In the end it looks as though they are trying to "laugh it off". Irresponsible for having a big cat enclosed in such a small cage and also for exposing people to dangers.

Men and cats are never together...cats are on their own, and merely use man to serve their needs razz
