June 11, 2010: Good Kitty
Jamu like to be massaged and tickled, but likes "This little piggy" the best.
|
If anyone else tried to play This Little Piggy with a fullygrown lion, they'd be in danger of going wee wee wee all the way to casualty. But Alex Larenty, 40, from Chipping Norton, is a fearless and highly skilled animal handler at The Lion Park near Johannesburg and is in complete control of this situation. The beast having its paw tickled is nine-year-old Jamu (weight 550lb). 'He loves it - it's his favourite game,' said Mr Larenty, a 50-year-old Briton who moved to Africa from Oxfordshire. |

Fearless, highly skilled, in complete control.
It sounds more like stupid, low skilled and complete bullshit.
And by the way: Where is the Jamus dick?

Jamus has his dick where his toes are.

"This Little Piggy", the other white meat.

I seem to remember someone else who played around with wild animals...
Trilby Friday Jun 11 12:49 PM
^^^ if I said that wasn't funny, I'd be "lion" !

I've played 'this little piggy' with a 6lb cat and come away wounded - this guy is a jackass.
Complete control. Uh huh.
Sheldonrs Friday Jun 11 01:40 PM
It doesn't take much to go from tender lion to tender loin.
BigV Friday Jun 11 02:04 PM
Adjust accordingly... riiiight. There's **NO WAY** that dude is 550 lbs. I don't think tartare even qualifies as a "recipe", chop (chomp?) and eat.

The lioness behind them is thinking, "I can't believe I used to be into that weirdo toe freak."

He's consistent, too. Roughly one post every 2 years. See ya in 2012, eastepp!

Pish posh. Lions are easy. Look at me with this killer cat (taken a few weeks ago)...
See? Nothin' to it. 
Trilby Saturday Dec 25 05:21 PM
adorable!
Shawnee123 Saturday Dec 25 11:57 PM
Glinda, I am completely jealous. And you look awesome! 
Glinda Sunday Dec 26 11:10 AM
Thank you!
I hate having my picture taken (usually stand in the back behind something large), but I couldn't resist that cute little kitty, and the pics we took with him turned out great.
You can't even see how gigantic my pot-belly is!
Griff Sunday Dec 26 11:12 AM
That is too cute Glinda! Did you take him home?
Glinda Sunday Dec 26 11:25 AM
I SO wanted to! I've got plenty of land here, but I think that little cutie will be better off with people properly trained to raise him. The pic was taken at Cabo san Lucas a few weeks ago when I was on vacation.
There's a booth along the beach tourist area run by a group called Wild Cabos. They're trying to raise funds to build a reservation area to preserve animals that are in danger of extinction, and to provide a place for wild animals that people tried to raise at home (and then found out how crazy that idea was once the critter got too large to manage).
They charge $20 and you get a nice 5 x 7" pic (and you can take as many pics as you want with your own camera). I suppose it could have been a scam - I don't know - but I simply could not pass up an opportunity to play with a lion cub. I mean, how often do you get a chance like that?
Sundae Monday Dec 27 06:31 AM
O h Glinda - I can't believe how smiley that lion is!
Then again... he's sat in your lap, what's not to smile about.
Gorgeous.
I know what you mean about worrying it's a scam, but as long as the little chaps looked happy and healthy I think you have to take some things on trust.
xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Dec 29 08:49 AM
That kitty looks stoned. 
Scam or not, you certainly got your $20 worth.

I completely agree, it was well worth the cost. There've been exactly ZERO opportunities for me in the past to cuddle a fat-bellied lion cub, and I don't expect there will be any more in the future, so yeah, I definitely got the best of that deal!
But you can bet, if I ever get back to Cabo, I'm going to stop by their booth again and play with whatever little critter they've got there. Ooooh yeah.
