January / February 2023- SmithsonianMag.com. : Cover Story—Born To Be Hunted: In South Africa, the debate about killing captive Lions…A special report by Mark Jenkins, “The Fate of the King: In South Africa, Lions raised in captivity are KILLED by hunters, American opponents are outraged. Advocates point to conservation “benefits.” (In Texas you can shoot a Zebra or a Cape Buffalo or a Kangaroo, all of which were bred for the bullet.)

Elsa was feeding milk in a bottle to the cubs. Lion milk is for baby lions. What kind of milk was Elsa feeding the cubs? I would bet it was cow milk. Why did Elsa have to feed the cubs milk from a bottle? Arrogance? Yes, Human arrogance….
What I saw, humans behaving like colonizers. Humans colonize other humans, and so with the Animal Kingdom. Animals do not need Humans to live Freely on mother Earth….
I wondered why you had posted this until I watched the video and listened to the words. The freedom of both Elsa and George and Joy Adamson is a remnant of better days and actually triggered tears.
I was born in Tanzania although I can remember little. However, the song conjures up some of the freedom of living in the big continent. It is also a moving tribute to the big cats. What made me nostalgic was the sincerity, simple longing of the song's lyrics and Matt Munroe's poignant rendition. Popular music now tends to be cynical or ironic or self-conscious or materialistic or a combination of them.
To domesticate wild animals, is to extinguish the animal’s natural born capacity to LIVE freely and enjoy independence…
When Government assumes the role as the surrogate Parent of the people, citizens will love to be dependent on the “government.” The spirit of being independent is replaced with addictive dependence on government….
No way I want to be dependent on the gov't. Everything they try to do fails. They should go back to building roads, etc. Get out of medicine and shots of all kinds.
Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people’s master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed—the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged (owned) to the WOLVES.
First, we don't listen to them about anything important like our health, nutrition, shot status, economic status. Stay away from doctors/hospitals and/or find an orthomolecular one near your home when you need one.

this is such a quirky post. too bad the lions born free are trapped in diminishing subdivisions allocated by treacherous humans who are still carving up Africa. pace.
I’m 60 in a couple of weeks, and I still remember this song when I was a child in my first years.
I sing this when my cat goes outside-lol!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you Celia.
Perhaps the worst prison is bestowed by your very will and you remain a prisoner of your own mind.
All Zoos are Animal Prisons.

Is this movie about a zoo? That's not how I remember it. They lived with the lions, and then Elsa left to start a family, no?
Listen: My mother never took us to zoos or circuses and I never took my son to zoos or circuses so no argument!

Stop the EXPLOITATION of all Animals>>>>
I don't think that's what the movie was about. I pray that I'm correct.
Love Matt Monro. As good as or better than Frankie Sinatra! Thanks, Celia.

Fantastic voice & super lyrics ✨
Not allowed to view the video in Canada, glorious and free.
Another example of Canada being choked by nannying neurosis.
Am sorry neighbor. There’s hope, like faith and love. I hope things get better for all of us. TX
