Payback"We've secretly replaced the lioness urine Kevin Richardson smothers himself in with Gazelle urine. Let's see if anyone notices the difference..."
griefer_queaferI wanna tag this as (*)politics so bad, but I don't want to stifle the sheer cuteness of this video. Guess everything can't be politics, GQ. (And sorry, NR)
bamdrewThis reminds me of an 'exotic' feline rescue center I once volunteered at that got nearly a dozen tiger cubs, a few weeks old, from the FBI (taken in a drug raid). Adorable!!!
bamdrew... that said, exotic cats generally make ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE PETS!
thyazideStingrays have a new target IMO.
EndAllWell, not really, as he doesn't work with stingrays. But I'm sure you know that, and are merely trying to imply that he'll end up getting mauled eventually. That's certainly possible. But it's important to note that Richardson hand-raises practically every lion (and hyena) in the enclosure he works for (which is a wildlife reserve) and while still large, dangerous animals, he has a unique, very special bond with them, and they are to a slight degree tame. If you've seen this video before, it serves as another example of the rare bond I speak of.
Yet the point stands, they could kill him at any moment. However Richardson maintains, despite that fact, that he would do it all again in an instant, no regrets. He feels the work he does to protect these animals is worth the price he could ultimately pay. And I'm sure Irwin felt the same way about his career, bless him.
Your comment was harmless, but elsewhere on the internet where ever these videos of Richardson are posted there are always people likening him to Timothy Treadwell and jumping to the same conclusions over and over again without knowing very much about the broader context of the work he does. Personally, I admire him and all those who risk life and limb for something they believe in and care for. (Which reminds me, I've to buy some poppies)
Anyway, that's my 10 cents.

robvthat is a big ass cat.
YogiI like the choice of music...it's the first song from Lord of the Rings when Gandolf returns to the Shire...such a lovely little tune.

Dude it's a lion, get in the fucking car!
FlowersInHisHairWho here isn't jealous of Richardson? So amazing, to have this time with these animals.
PaybackInstant upvote at 1:46 btw. Gotta love getting away with chomping on a lioness' tail.
