Lion and the Wolf on the lamb
Simba the lion and a wolf named Akyla have been evacuated from a zoo in war-torn Ukraine and brought to safety in Romania in what an animal rights group involved in the operation says was a four-day mission “full of dangers” further hampered by border entry bureaucracy. The adult male lion and the gray wolf, who were fully awake during the dangerous journey due to lack of tranquilizers in Ukraine, arrived Monday at a zoo in Radauti, from a zoo in Zaporizhzhia in southeast Ukraine. If there is something this war brought on is incredible cooperation between organizations. Mr. Locks, a 45-year-old Iraq veteran, had been delivering aid in Ukraine. Everybody agreed that in extreme times we have to have extreme measures and we decided to do whatever possible to bring those animals out of war.
The evacuation of the large animals was made possible due to the efforts and cooperation of several animal rights groups and private citizens, including two men from the U.K. who volunteered to enter Ukraine to rescue the animals and drive them to safety. “I couldn’t find a driver from Romania to go and help, also not from Ukraine, so these guys were absolutely fabulous — they put their lives in danger,” “It’s difficult to get people out of Ukraine if they’re in very dangerous areas, but to bring out a lion and a wolf … was mission impossible. I was fifty-fifty on whether those animals and those people would make it out alive.”Paun said that they couldn’t find a vet to help with their evacuation mission and that no tranquilizers were available, which meant that the animals were “fully aware and awake” through their journey to safety. He said guards at checkpoints were less than amused when he declared a lion and a wolf as their cargo. “One guard told us there was a war on and it was no time to joke around,” Mr Locks said. “I took him to the side of the van, opened the door, and showed him this proper big lion, like Aslan out Narnia.” After dropping the animals off in Romania, the trio drove back to Ukraine to assist in humanitarian missions as the country continues its fight against Russian forces.
The lion is busy
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up
until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your
mouth shut.
Q: How do we know lions are religious?
A: Because they prey frequently, and prey as a family!
You’re being chased by a Lion, you’re on a horse to the left of you is a Giraffe and on the
right a unicorn what do you do?
Put down your beer and get off the Carousel.
Scientists have shown that an uncontrollable urge to start singing the Tokens hit single
“The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is always just a whim away.
A whim away, a whim away…
