In 1969, John Rendall and Ace Berg saw a lion cub for sale in Harrods. Cramped and lonely in a small cage, they decided to bring it home.
A local vicar allowed them to exercise the cub, now named Christian, in the church grounds but he very quickly became too big for their flat.
The only thing they could do was to try to reintroduce him to Africa, which they managed to do.
A year later, they wanted to visit him but were told that he was now the head of his own pride and as such was completely wild and would not remember them.Undaunted, they went anyway...
What happen when they finally found the wild lion? Watch the video and you will be amazed!
“Who will now care for the animals, for they cannot look after themselves? Are there young men and women who are willing to take on this charge? Who will raise their voices, when mine is carried away on the wind,to plead their case?”
1906 – 1989
I Dedicated This Clip Especially To My Son...I Know One Day, Just Like Christian...He Too Will Leave Me To Lead His Own Life And I’m Going To Miss Him So Much! To All My Family & Friends...Thanks For Being A Part Of Me!
