[Your Sad Moment] Email from Mom [For the Day] - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

InaRut · 15th May 2008, 08:07 AM

This is a really sad story...but happy sad..story I got in a email from my mom. Maybe you've already seen it...but lets not spoil it for the ones who haven't.

..And if it's a sham..SCIENCE PEOPLE keep your mouth shut. Because it's a good story and I don't want it ruined for me.

Anyways this is what it said:

1. There's no sound, but look at the picture first and then watch the video.
> > 2. These 2 guys reared this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up, they took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary.
> > 3. A yea r later they went to see it and were told it would not remember them.

Edit: And yes, I'm pretty sure that lion and that guy totally make out at the end of the video

Oh wow... I totally misinterpreted what you wrote thinking that the lion didn't actually remember them.

Then I watched the video and was like "AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!".
