‘I don’t want a lion. I can’t have a lion. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal’: Uncle with good intentions wants to gift his nephew a lion cub, the panicked nephew refuses, but the lion has already been bought

You know how we always talk about how much we wish we could own big cats the same way that we have regular house cats? Like, in an ideal world. In a purrfect world. Because big cats are just regular cats. but big, right? They certainly act like it. And although we know yes, we actually do know that big cats are wild and beautiful creatures, we have also seen people online befriend lions and people raise cheetahs and remain friends with them. So, we know that it’s pawssible. Still, with all that said, if someone ever came up to us and asked us whether we actually wanted to have one. sure, in that purrfect world, we would say yes. But in the real world, we would have probably panicked the same way that the person in this story did. Maybe, at some point in his life, this person mentioned to their uncle that they love lions, but we don’t think that they ever actually expected to be offered a cub one day.
