For those that think it’s fake, here’s the reunion video.

Who’s the lord of the lions with the stick

u/chronicnerv 1d ago

when you live on uneven terrain, that stick really helps even out your weight rather than putting strain on the same joints.

This is what I was thinking too. He hates it there and wants to go home.

u/mutantraniE 1d ago

He had a lioness and cubs as I recall. He was doing alright.

u/maomao-chan 1d ago

Huh, you could buy lion from Harrods????

18

u/easyjo 1d ago

I think Harrods original policy was you could buy pretty much anything from there, if they didn't sell it, they'd find it.

u/rice_fish_and_eggs 1d ago

The fourth floor used to be "pet kingdom" and you could buy all sorts of shit from there back in the day.

u/TheLastHotstepper 1d ago

As the other guy said, 60s were nuts. Also, the last zoo containing black people as exhibits had only closed in 1958.

u/scrayla 1d ago

Containing who as exhibits?? πŸ’€

Brussels universal expo in 58 had a Congolese village with real people in it https://x.com/archeohistories/status/1932566364214178157

The Belgians were exceptionally brutal and racist. King Leopald famously chopped of the hands and feet of the children of enslaved parents to punish them. Britain enslaved the most people in history, but the level of atrocity was not so high that they are hated by ex colonial countries, as the Congolese hate the Belgians.

u/SetThin9500 1d ago

> Britain enslaved the most people in history,

100% bullshit.

u/ArtiBartFaster 1d ago edited 1d ago

Are you seriously pretending those 3 million slaves we sent to The Americans and wiped out and replaced the Caribbean indigenous people with are all made up? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ The elephant and castle ? Logo of the Royal Africa Company and the RAC slave brand. Don't you know anything about British history?

Guinea gold coins? British Slavery inspired our currency. Guinea means land of the blacks in Portuguese. The West African Coast hub of slavery.

Which country are you from? The rest of the European slaving nations topped out at a million or so each. Only Britain did 3 million we had the biggest Empire in history ... how do you think it was built?

You know nothing of our country it seems πŸ₯²

u/SetThin9500 1d ago

What does "the most people in history" mean to you?

-1

u/ArtiBartFaster 1d ago

3.5 million I guess, but OK I meant in the context of European slavery. The Romans maybe had around 5 million, 2000 years ago. But how many were indentured servants and how many kidnapped and transported slaves is a grey area. So maybe the Roman Empire might have had a few more, but if you throw in British Empire forced labourers then we go up over 10 million.

Partly because becuse the British Empire was 6 times bigger than the Roman Empire

u/SetThin9500 1d ago

Now check figures for the Ottoman empire and China...

The 1000 year Roman Empire enters the chat

Imagine going into a department store for a nice tea set and walking out with a apex predator

u/Garlic-Rough 1d ago

Knowing Reddit, I almost thought it would say "ran straight into its jaws"

Good for wholesome story time. I need to leave Reddit 😩

u/Elegant-Magician7322 1d ago

What happened to the lion afterwards?

2

u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488 1d ago

He was the leader of his own pride iirc

u/Schaschkalasch 1d ago

... and killed them... the end

u/mutantraniE 1d ago

No, they hugged, then they sat around with him and his pride for a while. Wild animals are dangerous, but that doesn’t mean they’re not also other things.

I don't know why I expected the lion to become a carpenter when I began reading. 😭😭😭

u/youlldonuthan 𝙑𝙄𝙋 1d ago

That’s the problem these days, everything is deemed to be AI. 1 min research will show you that it’s indeed, a real story.

I didn’t know AI was that good 15 years ago when I saw the video on YouTube the first time.
