This article struck me the most, because this man, Jim Jablon, is taking matters into his own hands in order to save his wildlife center, Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando, by living with two of his young lions, at age 5 and 3, for 30 days. This man's courage and determination to stay for 30 days in an enclosed area with these wild African lions are what drew me to this article. These lions are not calm and relaxed all the time, Jim has been bitten scratched, and even had his clothes torn from "play time". Jim has his daughter video taping his experience live since his first day in January 1st. For the entire month of January Jim will be raising money for not only his lions but other animals in his wildlife center. Jim's loyalty to his animals show his commitment to his job and his love for these abandoned and mistreated animals that he has taken in. These types of wildlife centers are the places that others need to help, because people like Jim are the ones who have devoted their time and energy to protecting these animals who deserve a natural and humane lifestyle. Jim however has taken the necessary precautions in order to keep both him and the lions safe during the next 30 days, by preparing a separate area in cause the lions begin to play too rough. He has taken these precautions so he man be able to stay in the lion's den for all these 30 days so he can raise the money he intends to make to safe his wildlife center.
