    2 comments: 1)As much as I would love to pet the big cats, wild animals are not pets and people should not be encouraged to treat them as such. 2) An adult may make the choice to risk petting the wild cats, but to leave an infant in with them is irresponsible parenting.

    I’d love to pet the male lions. Has been my fav since very, very young.
    We used to have lions and bears and more in our main park back then. When my kids came along is about the time they were taken out. Money to feed them was the issue.

    @J Jacklin & Elizabeth, they trust the people as they were people raised. If they were raised in the wild, it would be very different but they raised by humans, so they trust all humans. I would love to pet some of them. That would be so cool!!

      The parrot I mentioned had been in the family for years! It was not caught in the wild. A wild animal may live with humans for years BUT something can at times trigger their “native” instincts. They might feel a threat to their owner, friend or them itself. Better safe than sorry as often an animal needs to be destroyed after an attack, depending on “RULES”. J.

    I would like to try it. It looks like the animals have been raised by people and are very used to them.

    They think that this is cute??? Animals are animals, whether wild or domestic they can become annoyed and slash out at you probably killing you.
    Not very cute, people can have no brains sometimes.

    All it might take is a small whiff of blood or a noise and the animal instinct turns violent. From personal experience, it’s bad enough when a pet parrot becomes annoyed! Putting a young child in that position is sheer lunacy. We have even had horrible episodes with dogs in Canada. J. Jacklin
