Love and care can melt any heart, and sincere warmth will never cause aggression in response. I was convinced of this for many years of working with predators. self-taught trainer Kevin Richardson … A zoologist many years ago sheltered lion cubs as pets; today, a quivering and very friendly relationship has been established between animals and humans.
Readers of the site Kulturologiya.ru perfectly remember the story about Tippi Degre - a modern child-Mowgli. As it turned out, there are times when not only children, but also adults do not feel fear of the wild. In his autobiography, Kevin Richardson admits that the secret of his success is that while raising animals, he did not use any aggressive methods of influencing their psyche (be it sticks or chains). He replaced malice with love, building relationships with lions based on mutual understanding and mutual trust. Today he easily sleeps or swims with lions, hugs newborn hyena cubs and can even perform a dangerous trick: stick his head into the mouth of a predator.
Kevin bravely looks into the eyes of wild animals, breaking all possible taboos, and until now he has never been attacked. The trainer emphasizes that every animal is a person who must be respected, whose feelings must be reckoned with. He does not diminish the danger, but he understands that he could not continue to live without such a risk.
Of course, Kevin Richardson warns everyone that trying to repeat his experience with animals is very dangerous, as the consequences can be unpredictable. In order for people to identify caring for predators, he founded a special charitable volunteer organization in South Africa, where everyone can donate funds to help wildlife.
