The emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie had two lions in his palace as pets if you please.

 

Here are some photographs with His Magesty The Emperor and his pets:

That lion is about twice as big as the emperor.  I think he'd have been better off with a kitty cat.

I adore the big cats. I hate seeing them caged.

Since I was a young girl I never enjoyed zoos or circuses.   I hated seeing animals trapped in small cages and it would upset me.  At least now zoos do give the animals more room and land to move around in.  Also there aren't any evil poachers hunting them.

 

These pictures of majestic lions are very nice and hopefully they are being well taken care of at the zoo.  Thanks!

Oh yeah, I talked to one of the 'keepers' they run water to them all day long

and they have plenty of shade. That female looks like she's well nourished

LOL

Pretty big run area and they have a 'cave' they can go into in bad weather.

I just don't approve of using these majestic cats as pets no matter who you are.
