Pity the poor lions

A shocking video on t.v. this week made us cringe.    The immediate horror of it was that some lions in a circus in the Ukraine had attacked their trainer during a show.    It was a mauling and we hope he makes a complete recovery.   But what was so dreadful was that this was happening at all.    The lions looked desperate, one was trying to climb out of the ring, the men were hitting them with sticks and spraying them with water hoses – to try to save the man they were attacking obviously.   Lions shouldn’t be in captivity at all.   They should be free and in their natural habitat.

Your prayers please for these magnificent creatures, that they can be released from their cages and not made to perform tricks for the amusement of humans.    Lets focus our thoughts and intentions on these poor lions and all captive animals.    Please pray and focus also on the people who are entertained by this and profit from animal shows – that they may realize that they are enslaving and degrading their fellow inhabitants on our beautiful planet.
