You Can Rear A Wild Animal Up As A Pet(how True Is That) by brandydaniells(m): 8:57am On Dec 10, 2017
over the years I've been made to believe that a wild animals like lions,bears,wolves can be reared up with human food.... with the aim of it growing up and not be a carnivore



in my opinion ...i think "once a lion.... always a lion"



so what's ur opinion

The pic you attached is of a South African man who has learned to tame the lions. It took him years to gain trust like this from the beasts. Back to the question at hand, I wouldn't think of doing that even if I was gonna extend my life in the process.

Domesticating wild animals doesnt mean their diet would change . They just would have their hunting/wild instincts suppressed

Of course ... a lion will not change its diet for eba or salad. it would still feed on raw meat and will depend on its care taker for it

No it's not like he somehow made them start eating greens and celery. He tamed them by first delivering their meal, and because he made them not have to hunt, they probably rewarded him by not eating him and even playing with him. Maybe they don't want to jinx the possibility of getting their next meal... For their small minds

Care for them from curb to adult and they see u as a lion and not as food.
The thing there is that most people don't know when the animal instinct can set in.
