Colorado zoo holds contest to name lion cubs

The Pueblo Zoo is holding a contest to name its three lion cubs. Since the cubs are South African lions the zoo would prefer to give them South African names. For example, the zoo’s four adult lions are named Jahari, Yatima, Saida, and Ulana. The contest runs from now until February 17, 2007. You can pick up an entry form at the Pueblo Zoo. The winning names will be announced on March 4, 2007.

Zoo keepers say the two older cubs no longer drink milk from a bottle. They’re now on a meat diet. The staff at the zoo has been taking care of the cubs since they were born last fall. The cubs were abandoned by their mothers after they were born.

In January, zoo keepers attempted to introduce the cubs to one of the zoo’s adult lions. The lion was affectionate with the cubs when they were in cages, but unfortunately the lion bit one of the cubs when they were released. Zoo keepers quickly separated the animals. The zoo says the cub was slightly injured, but has since completely recovered.

The zoo plans to continue to keep the cubs separated from the rest of the pride. You can see the cubs on display at the Pueblo Zoo each day from 2 to 3 p.m., weather permitting.

This article is from 2007, but the hypocrisy is in the fact that Jack Hanna should have known better than to take wild animals onto talk shows or out to schools.  We believe that it’s a monkey-see-monkey-do world out there and when people see celebrities, like Jack Hanna, taking cute baby wild cats into TV studios, they want to be like that guy, and will pay to pet exotic cats too. If not for the demand for cub petting, that has been caused by all of the showing off on stage and in film, there wouldn’t be incidents like the Zanesville Massacre in the first place.  What is even worse is that DC staffers tell us that Jack Hanna has become the mouthpiece for the ZAA which is a collection of second rate roadside zoos, in our opinion, and as such he has been trying to thwart our efforts to pass the Big Cat Public Safety Act.
