MS BILL TRAVERS; VIRGINIA McKENNA & PETER SNOW SEATED OUTSIDE SOF:
(Q: Bill, why would you like to see these lions set free?)
- "Well, over the last year we've had tremendous amount of contact with them, ZOOM INTO TRAVERS & VIRGINIA: and they've come to trust human beings, and it would be, I think, cruel to put them into cages, to be put into a prison now. They've had a certain amount of liberty and they've come to enjoy that liberty, and to send them to zoos where people would just look at them through bars would just be like sending a friend to a prison.
(Q: Virginia, they've been tame for so long, could they ever live in the jungle again by themselves?) ZOOM INTO CS VIRGINIA SOF:
- "I'm sure they could, given someone who has enough time and patience to do it and enough financial resources to help him, luckily we have someone like that, George Adamson himself, I'm sure it could be possible. You say they're tamed but they're not completely tamed, their natural wild instincts haven't been killed in any way, in fact they, without even being taught to do so, may of these lions have already killed, and with very little encouragement I'm sure they could fend for themselves perfectly well:
