Christian the Lion

So back in 1969 when, apparently, people could do pretty much whatever they wanted, two guys bought a lion cub from Harrods in London. I have no idea why they were selling lions in Harrods, or why these two guys thought it was a good idea to get one, but hey, everyone was on drugs back then. 

Anyway, these guys bought this lion cub and named it Christian. They looked after it for well over a year until it was just too big and had to be reintroduced into the wild. 

A year after Christian left, his old owners got off drugs long enough to take a trip into the wild to visit their old friend. This is what happened.....
