anthropomorphia:

Ethiopian girl guarded from gang rape by three lions.

“The girl had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them. She was beaten repeatedly. Then the lions chased off her captors. The three lions guarded her for about half a day. They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.”

Then, Stuart Williams (the local wildlife ‘expert’) suggests that perhaps the lions mistook the 12 year old girl’s cries for a lion cub. Which seems awfully silly, considering that lions are perfectly capable of telling the apart the gazelles they eat from their own cubs, aren’t they?

These lions are awesome. :> 

lions get shit done

(I feel like people find it ridiculously hard to understand that wild carnivorous animal doesn’t actually translate directly to bloodthirsty unfeeling beast. Carnivorous animals are able to care about other animals. Hell, most of you have/had pets you loved and probably have also willingly eaten meat in your lifetime. Besides, whatever’s a threat to a medium-sized animal like a human, could also pose a threat to younger, smaller lions and cubs, so they don’t want those assholes hangin’ around there.) 

These lions get shit done.
