A lion would be a great deterrent for burglars and if you have any enemies just take a walk to their house with your lion:D
Dogs used to be wild once, we probably wouldn't have dreamt of having one for a pet but look at them now :) A man's best friend.

Yes but are big differences between dogs and lions. And we should not forget if you can walk with your dogs and leave him free in the park, you can't do the same with the lion. So you must have 10 ha of land at least and a big budget to give him that cow/2 weeks:)

At one time you couldn't leave your dog free in the park because they too were wild. It's a case of training them to be pets. I'm not saying we should have them as pets because we shouldn't but I myself would find it very cool to have one :) Imagine telling your mates "I've got a pet lion" or "I'll set my lion onto you :enough!:"
I don't like monkeys, I find them annoying.

I stay out from zoo's because its another way to torture the animals. I really don't believe they can be happy. The only one who made the perfect zoo's for them are the african people which made the huge national parks, where they can run, hunt free, without inside fences:)

Why have you said that :? I still believe the african national park are big enough to leave the animals free. It was there chance to remain alive after so much hunting :(
 
Lion is an horrible image in the mind of a person. It is interesting that in Britain it is as like small pets. But how can their management possible like pets as lion never hesitate to attack even its owner which is feeding him for a long time
 
lions are the KING's of the jungle they can never be your pet . . . you can only caged them or they'll attack on you . . . a pet should b faithful and lions got none characteristics regarding faithfulness . . . !!!
 
I shudder at the thought if some owners tire of their pets and turn them loose. This has happened here in the USA quite often. Although we do have sufficient wide open spaces for them to adapt, Lions do not belong any place except in their native homes.

The most recent problem with rleased exotics is happening in Florida.

An animal that is a creature of beauty in it's natural habitat is a pest and possible danger in areas it is not part of the eco-system of. People need to respect nature and not try to own it.

Of the large Cats lions are the most docile. Anyone who has ever traveled in South Africa will tell you how little the people there have any need to fear them. yes, it is wise to give them their space, but they are not aggressive and it is rare for one to attack a human.

The people herding cattle will often walk right up to them. However, they are aware of the behavior of lions and know if a lion is relaxed and resting and reasonably safe, or if it is agitated or in a hunting mood and dangerous.

Let me know the next time you are in South Africa, I'll introduce you to a real LION. Natural born killers. Yes they may seem very docile especially when they are laying around with the pride, but don't let that fool you, many a tourist has been eaten alive because of this mindset. Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!!:skeleton:
A family member saw a game keeper, in a private game reserve being killed right infront of his eyes by a so called "Domestic" lion. One strike with the paw was enough to send a huge chunk of flesh flying from his thigh. He was dead within seconds.

The cattle herders you are talking about are the Masai warriors, who used to kill lions to prove their manhood over generations. The lions tend to run away when they see a Masai warrior approaching from a distance. I doubt they will be backing off when Joe average walks towards them.
All a lion has to do to kill a person instantly is run into him at high speed, no scratching or biting required, just ram his body into you, he will crush every bone in your body. :scared:

I don't know about that, I'd love a lion. Maybe a cub to start off with. Imagine taking your (very trained) pet for a walk in the local park...
(aside from probably ending up in prison. I mean, it's probably illegal to exercise them in public lol)
