On making the movie, Born Free:
"Most of the people of the [filming] unit were extremely nice and friendly, but their way of life was not mine. There were too many dramas and 'goings-on' for my peace of mind. I felt safer with the lions."
On "enrichment" for captive animals:
"I am firmly convinced that it is the boredom and frustration of captivity which makes [captive] lions dangerous. One of their strongest senses is that of smell. To deprive them of the chance to exercise it is tantamount to depriving a human being of all reading matter."

Now that is a strong claim.
ReplyDeleteI could definitely empathesise with the lion on this ground.
And the drama part. Definitely too much of it!
Have read some interesting information about Judy and George Adamson over the years.
