You can’t keep a lion in your house, the lion will eat that man one day. You should never ever trust a lion , its still a creature.

cool. what would you feed it
why you keeping lions in your house
Nice little birdie!
is that true
This is cool but not at the same time. That is a creature known to kill an it probably doesn’t even get the exercise it needs. I know that it would be cool and i would like it but then again it is a living thing. You can’t do that to a creature or living thing that is meant to be in the wild. I don’t think it is awesome but that is cool and once again I don’t really know.
cool i love lions but hope that it doesn’t eat you
People are saying that the lion will eat the man, but he won’t! I will be a veterinarian(Vet) when I’m bigger and I know for a fact that as long as the lion is feed, healthy, and feels safe, it will be kind to humans!
I love cats but I think they should live in the wild…
the eye of the tiger

wow!
That’s so wow!
Good kitty
You can’t keep a lion in your house, the lion will eat that man one day. You should never ever trust a lion , its still a creature. But wow
you know maybe if the lion has a full relationship with you it might act like a dog and protect you. Lions are beautiful creatures. never doubt them.

wow wow.
This man is sooooo brave. Even though it is friendly to humans, he might get eaten…
I hope the lion gets lots of exersize

Lions don’t actually attack humans on purpose. They are normally threatened, scared, or being neglected.
