Wild Love

This video at the link shows the heart warming reunion of a wild gorilla and the man who raised him. After 5 years in the wild the animal could have rejected or even hurt the human, but instead joyously accepted him, even introducing the man to his family. Farther down the page at the same link is video of a full grown male lion, in the wild, also lovingly reuniting with the men who rescued him from a cage. The men raised him till the lion was too large to keep and returned him to the wild. Later they risked their lives to visit the animal who accepted them with a display of love tha brings tears to the eyes. The particulars are available at the link too, but the stories of love surpassing instinct are more the point. And some people don't think animals have souls.

i hug dogs too bd, and my cat gives me kisses. if you show love to an animal they will give it back tenfold. these stories should be a lesson on that fact especially where pit bulls and other 'dangerous' breeds of dogs are concerned. if they are well treated and kept leashed when out ect. they are no more dangerous than any other kind. any dog that is cruelly treated becomes vicious.

MSNBC apparently doesn't like Firefox and/or Expats!

Hay, BD, we're friends now you can just call me "Expat". No need to be formal. 😉

Anyhow us Midwesterners need to stick together.
