Christian the Lion Continues to Inspire
Dear Friends of Real Paid Estate
Last night’s edition of the cable TV program “Oprah’s Lifeclass” featured video clips of Christian the legendary lion — who’d been rescued from a London department store and returned to the wild — being reunited with his former owners. The segment was narrated by Oprah Winfrey, who evidently was moved to tears by the footage.
Christian’s stunningly heart-warming reunion with his two human friends, captured in a documentary by Born Free co-founders Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna (my parents, I’m extremely proud to say), went “viral” on YouTube and has inspired millions of people worldwide. Christian, by the way, spent four months living in my garden before being released to the African wild!
See a slideshow in which my mother recalls details of Christian’s story.
Enjoy footage my parents took of Christian’s reunion with his human friends.
Watch the “Lifeclass” segment about Christian.
And please help spread the word by forwarding this e-mail to your family and friends, and consider posting it on Facebook and Twitter so that all your contacts will have the chance to see Christian the lion’s reunion and to learn more about how Born Free USA works to protect lions.
For the animals,
P.S. Christian the lion received a second chance in Africa and we work to help all wild lions in Africa, so please donate toward the cause.
