To Walk with Lions Page #2

but the same

is like unto you.

and unto the lord

you shall all be gathered...

and anyone who does not

heed these words

is both deaf and dumb."

Lions are

our spiritual brothers.

They are closer to us than most

people are prepared to accept.

My job here is to

try and understand them.

Hello girl.

Thanks, George.

It's been fun.

I've just got

a few things to do.

Good luck.

Terence.

Welcome, john.

Any lions in camp?

Many.

You're safe.

This is Tony Fitzjohn.

Hi.

Fitzjohn.

Betachi was going to

drop him off in Garisa.

Would you be kind enough to

drop him off when you leave here?

All right.

Well, what can I

do for you, john?

The department

has decided we...

We can't let you shoot

game for your lions anymore.

We only shoot what the

lions would normally kill.

Yes. Well, you'll have to

bring in the meat from outside.

Come, come, you know

I can't afford that.

I'm sorry, George.

I don't know.

The truth is,

There's been a lot of talk

about shutting down your...

Lion release program.

How much of that

comes from you, john?

Ten years ago,

it did little harm.

Things have changed, George.

The local population's

almost trebled.

Putting lions that are

not afraid of humans

Into a wild pride

is dangerous.

My lions

are no more dangerous

Or friendly

than wild lions.

The most dangerous

thing is when people

Grow too familiar

with them.

But that's not the point.

The point really here has

to do with land and poaching.

Oh, for god's sake.

You first asked to come here

To release five lions

from a film.

That was gonna be it.

Now the place

is crawling with them.

It's totally out of hand.

It's gonna stop.

I'm just warning you, George.

Oh, why don't you

take your warning

And stuff it up your ass?

Thank you for

the warning, john.

I'm with him.

Bloody lions.

They're damn dangerous.

Fat lot of good

you are, Terence.

Why are you here

if you feel like that?

I built a road round here

as far as the eye can see.

Still building.

Impudent pup!

What are we

gonna do, George?

More lions.

I was right.

They were here last night.

I'm the pride feeder,

And that must never

be in question.

If a lion senses

a weakness in you,

Then he'll turn on you.

I know...

Did you hear that?

That's them.

Being attacked by a lion is

an occupational hazard here.

But if you stay

in tune with them,

Then the risk is small.

They're not pets.

Even the most docile lion

still has a killer instinct.

Our job

is to encourage that.

Juma.

Give me

the meat pack.

They're a bit thin.

They're not hunting well yet.

Good girl.

Good boy.

Their territory in

nature is very strong.

That's how they
