Lions run wild in the Bible, pardon the expression. Everyone knew about them. Everyone respected and feared them. That's why they make such a great metaphor — make that a series of metaphors.This week we will discuss why the sluggard stays in bed, why our original state of freedom is preferable to luxury in captivity, a personal flashback to a day at the Tulsa Zoo, and the blessings and obligations of having lions in your pocket.

Born Free USA was founded in 2002. In 1966, Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers starred in the classic wildlife film Born Free. The film told the true story of conservationists Joy and George Adamson who rescued a lioness cub named Elsa and successfully returned her to the wild. The mission of Born Free USA states that their vision is a co-existent future where humans no longer exploit wild animals. The further state they are working to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect and are able to live their lives according to their needs. Dr. Liza Tyson is the Program Director of Born Free USA and spent time with us discussing her and Born Free USA's work. You can learn more about Born Free USA by visiting their website HERE

Family friend John Rendall was privileged to be Christian The Lion's human family, and was the one, alongside his friend Ace who bought him from Harrods and eventually took him on the amazing journey to Kenya where he was rehabilitated by George Adamson into the African wilderness. The story is world famous and to hear it in John's own words is truly amazing.
Will Travers OBE is one of the UK’s most influential animal rights activists, founding the Born Free Foundation in 1984 with his parents, originally under the name Zoo Check. As most of the world has been placed under strict lockdown and quarantine rules, we’re beginning to get a glimpse into what life must be like for animals trapped in zoos, forced to live in confined spaces under lock and key “for not much more than our own amusement”. Born Free’s latest campaign, “Creature Discomforts”, tackles this issue with the help of the animators at Aardman. Will talks about the distress and anxiety caused to animals when they’re not allowed to roam their natural habitats, and how we’ve “distorted and warped” our relationship with wild animals. Later in the conversation Will discusses the reprehensible poaching and canned hunting industries, and the threat they pose to animals like Lions. The discussion moves onto the life of George Adamson, the realities of filming “Born Free” in the sixties, and the financing of wildlife protection, before ending on a note about Will’s late father - his ever-present guide to knowing what’s right and wrong in the world.For further information on this and other episodes, visit: http://www.treesacrowd.fm/born-free See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
There is no where in Africa Brian Jackman has not explored, he has written several books and over the last sixty years has dominated wildlife journalism for The Sunday Times and The Telegraph. His safaris through Africa have taken him to some of the most remote and wild places with some of Africa's most famous and enchanting characters including George Adamson, Tony Fitzjohn and Iain Douglas-Hamilton. He talks about his travel to Africa with the same emotive tone he writes with. We couldn't have enjoyed hearing his wonderful stories more, and his lion impression will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, and you will long for the African plains.
In episode 6, we touch on a range of topics as always. We share our fun experience attending the Esme Patterson concert with George Adamson. We each go on to tell ways we care for ourselves while under the demands of graduate school. Becky discusses Chris Peterson Brus' 2006 article: "Seeking balance in graduate school: A realistic expectation or a dangerous dilemma?" We talk about the power and challenges associated with deciding how to get all our work done. We also express our beliefs that our lives in the present moment are valuable and not on pause. We go on to share our recent highs and lows. We were joined in this episode by our special guest frog friend! Thank you Ray Desentz for leaving a rating on Apple Podcasts! Congratulations to Ale on winning our giveaway! Thank you also to Christina DeLosAngeles for having Becky on an epidsode of Therapy Things Radio!

“Award-winning wildlife expert, author and public speaker, Gareth Patterson, is known internationally for his efforts to protect the lions and elephants of Africa. His wildlife work has featured widely in the media, books and in documentaries.” Gareth has written extensively about his experience rewilding George Adamson's last lion cubs and subsequently written about his discovery of a viable population of elephants in the Knysna Forest. He continues to work to raise awareness and build passion for the wild with his recent children's' book “Born to be Free”, his upcoming project “Beyond the Secret Elephants” and his ongoing efforts to reignite African Environmentalism through Sekai Africa. We visited Gareth Patterson in his cottage on the edge of the beautiful Knysna Forest in South Africa and together with his beautiful bush dog, Tuli (you can hear her grunting and sniffling throughout), covered how Gareth became well-renowned lion man, working with George Adamson's lions, truly incredible stories about rewilding lion cubs, the remarkable story of the secret Knysna elephants in South Africa, Gareth's upcoming project, his new children's book, 'Born to be Free' and his vision for African Environmentalism. *This Episode is dedicated to Gareth's very special bush dog Tuli who sadly passed away shortly after this episode was recorded. You will be able to hear her joining in throughout this episode, making her presence known* ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Find the show notes here ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ *** SOCIALIZE WITH US *** Website Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube
Miss D & John discuss how he and Anthony “Ace” Bourke purchased Christian the Lion, a 3-month old lion, from Harrod’s Zoo Department in 1969 for 250 guineas, who lived beneath their pine furniture store. The story would later become a book entitled "A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond Between Two Friends and a Lion". Creators of Born Free contacted George Adamson to reform him for the wild and re-release into Kenya. The documentary called "Christian the Lion" had 50 million viewers. George successfully rehabilitated Christian and he still has lions with his lineage out there. Created the George Adamson National Preserve. www.GeorgeAdamson.org Miss D's Luna Si - Full Playlist soundcloud.com/user-713838141-902043381/sets/miss-ds-luna-si
Adam Roberts of Born Free joins us again for an in depth look at the state of the world of wildlife and conservation in the 50 years since Elsa the Lion, and the death of a lion named Cecil rocked the world, to the most important conference, CoP17 in S. Africa that decides the fate and future of many species. Both low and high moments that will stand out in our history as the legacy we choose how we humans go about deciding what co-existence policy with wildlife means, where much of our earth's diversity is severely threatened and treading on thin ground, in a future filled with people and a lot less room for wildlife to thrive and survive. We go through the intricacies and import of CITES Conference of Parties works (CoP), up to one of the biggest events coming this month in Kenya, the burning of 120,000 tons of Ivory and rhino horn, in their third public commitment to the world render ivory valueless and stop the war on wildlife.
