A tail of two lions

Hello,

Thanks to all those who wrote to us with regard to Matthew's graduation.
We were moderately surprised just how many people were also up for a bit of gratuitous violence and requested 'the lion pics'. So much so, it will be easier for us to send them out 'en masse'. Sorry if you've seen these already. If you requested not to see them, perhaps best not to scroll down to the last two pics (of four).

The Story:
These guys whom I used to fly with now breed lions. They are kept sort of separate but a younger one stuck his tail through a fence and a larger one took a chomp and damaged it some. Vet is called in, darts it and has a look. Prognosis was not good and a separation was required, which we got to witness.

Now for the Good ol' Christian Gore Slide Show...

The Damage:
The Consequences:

The End... of the tale!
