Hollywood actress, Tippi Hedren has opened up on her regrets that she let a fully grown lion live with her family in the 1970s as a pet saying they were ‘stupid beyond belief’ to let the beast play with her daughter, actress Melanie Griffth(Antonio Banderas’ wife), then aged just 13.
In pictures taken for LIFE magazine, the Lion named Neil can be seen relaxing by the family’s pool, lounging in Melanie’s bed and becoming a distraction in the office

He taught us, and Melanie especially, to respect the animal and not do anything that might annoy him, like scratch his nose or suddenly run up and put your arms around him.’
Other advice included not turning one’s back on him as he loved to come and trip people, knowing that if you move quickly he will want to play and he plays ‘rough’ and to pet him under his chin or deep in his mane but not on his face.

Lion as pet? I mad??

White people sef..smh

Gotta get some tutorials..... Planning to get a Liger

SmhV...

I would keep lions as pets if I got the chance. They fascinate me so much.

This is animal abuse! that animal would be much more happier in the wild, how would she like it if aliens beams her up into their planet and kept her there as a 'pet'?
