The closest I've been to a lion was at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania: it was so very hot that, when our vehicle stoped, 3 beautiful beasts came to lay down on the shadow of the car. If I would strech my arm, I could have touched one of them. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-7432562773531159912014-03-07T20:06:56.561-08:002014-03-07T20:06:56.561-08:00I said "here" instead of "hear.&quo...I said "here" instead of "hear."

For me, it's a way to transform my deep sadness and intense outrage at the way our wildlife is being killed off around the world into action. It actually feels empowering, as if maybe collectively we can really stop these heinous crimes against nature. <br /><br />You are all welcome to bypass the march and meet at the La Brea Tar Pits at 12/12:15 for the rally. Come here Tippi and other speakers stand up for lions! It should be an interesting afternoon. And the park is worth a visit in and of itself. With the Page Museum and LACMA as neighbors, it's one of LA's gems. <br /><br />Shambala is open one weekend a month to visitors. We should plan an excursion. Maybe in April? <br /><br />PA, I want to hear more about the Metro Station opening. <br /><br />As for canned lion hunting in the US, I need to do more research. I think it was happening at one point, but now it's illegal. I'll do some digging in the coming days. And I'm sure the speakers at the rally will have info about it. <br /><br />Oh, and late-breaking news from South Africa, the Archbishop Desmond Tutu will give a public blessing in support of the march. Or something like that. It's going to be a big day! <br /><br />Sorry to ramble on... I guess I'm obsessed.

It was awhile ago.<br /><br />btw: Tipi was the head speaker at the opening of our Metro Station in El Monte (based on Gay's Lion Farm). Nice lady. We did research over at Shambala.

Plenty of canned hunting in Texas but not canned LION hunting, at least not openly. Where did you hear that it's in Texas?

The inspiring thing is that the march is now up to 55 cities around the world. It rekindles my faith in humanity that people around the world are rising up to protect this majestic species. The LA event should be fun. I don't think The Tokens will make it, but we have a New Orleans band, Vaud and the Villains, playing music while marching with us. Thank you again for spreading the word.
