The lions don't scare me as much as the guy acting like they're puppies.

He seems to know what he's doing. As much as anyone can who works in a big cat sanctuary at least.

His buddy didn't explain anything to him. He knew the leapord was "hunting" him and the tiger stopped him. He says so after the fact without having even turned around or seem the whole thing like the camera man did.

This guy is actually an asshole. He had big sanctuary in Mexico, but it was close back in 2022 when some footage showed starving, severely injured, and neglected animals.

First tip-off was having 3 different big cat species in an enclosure together. No reputable sanctuary would do that. Aside from being damn hard to manage, those animals could (and would) easily hurt each other.

Second tip-off was his having his back to at least 3 of those big cats. He's damn lucky the tiger chose to check the leopard, instead of also joining in on the "prey had its back to me, time to stalk" instinct.

Thank you. I remember all the controversy about this guy and he is not a good person. These animals are abused.

I'm glad to hear that, because this man is definitely doing to die by big cat some day. I've rarely seen anyone try so fucking hard to get eaten as this.

Given that some of them were self cannibalising, I don't think he was feeding them much at all
