"Watch This Ex-Circus Lion Feel Grass For The First Time"
There has been a "viral" video going around of a former circus lion that supposedly feels grass for the first time. This may or may not be true. There has been a lot of debate by professionals that it is most likely false, given the animal's reaction to what is supposed to be a new enclosure, among other factors. Regardless , this is the common type of propaganda spread by animal rights extremist groups to sully the public's opinion regarding the care circus animals receive. Every exhibitor should be judged on their own merits, based on one's own observations. To judge all on the misdeeds of a few is discriminatory, ignorant and wrong. Here's a photo of my animals, which are able to enjoy grass all day, everyday. Many others are as fortunate as well.
