Feeding day at the GG Lion Sanctuary

⚠️contains video of raw red meat⚠️
🥩 Lion Feeding day 🥩
We are a sanctuary for lions, not the wild, so our lions unfortunately cannot hunt for themselves. Mike our lions manager is in charge of our lion feeding schedule and decides which lion gets what body part.
The smaller prides of 3 lions or less get ‘pieces’ of a carcass and the larger prides of 3+ lions get a whole carcass. Mike knows exactly which body piece each lion needs as the lions need different parts of the body not just muscle meat. We rotate on every feed the pieces they get so they are getting all the nutrients they need. It’s no good just giving lions a big piece of leg every time, they need ribs, brain, sinew, cartilage, stomach, liver, heart. etc so Mike manages this.
The lions are fed twice a week and males get approximately 25kg each feed, females 20kg.
This amounts to us needing around
3.8 tonnes of meat a week which is approximately 15 animal carcasses a week, usually cattle. Everything we receive has already died before collection, usually of natural causes. We never feed the lions ‘live’ animals. This is illegal in captivity in South Africa, not to mention cruel as the prey would have no chance of escape in an enclosure.
Mike collects all this meat throughout the week from different cattle farms who call us when they have had fatalities. Collection of 1 carcass takes Mike around 2hrs. That’s 30hrs a week Mike spends driving for lion food. Then the carcasses are to butcher into 25kg pieces when we get them here.
On this video we fed Bright Eyes & Boy, Tonga who helps himself in his drive through camp, then Aslan, Fonda & Suzie, Leo and Reth, then Tarzan & Zorro. 🦁

Lions are very disciplined when the food is served. It doesn't snatch other lions food. It waits for its chance to be served. Wow.. That's the attitude.. Coa he is the King of Jungle 👑... Class apart Attitude!

Que font ces lions en captivité ? Sont-ils élevés pour être tuer comme le font beaucoup de sois disant sanctuaire !??

[@darialomurno05]

Especially since the first guy kneeled incorrectly (he curved his spine) hence making the cargo more difficult to handle

😂😂😂 bruh that’s 7 kilos of meat nothing heavy be quiet

[@Kimberly-pf4iy]

The lions look well-fed and healthy. I like that. 😊😊

[@Tintovino-28]

At least managers of this sancttuary don't allow hunters to kill lions like they do in Russia. It's called enclosure hunting. Men with long purse and little balls like to kill lions and bears and other predators in such limited conditions

Aww, I like how they wait their turn. They look very healthy and well fed. Thank you for taking care of them so well. Beautiful animals.

[@garrettstephens3081]

That’s probably because they have a hierarchy and they know the dominant lion or lioness will mess the others up if they take it first… just how wild animals work… or maybe they are just well feed

Be careful.. we just went to clean out a house like that the lady had 15 cats and now she's in the hospital in and out since having so many cats causes u to develop pneumonia some sort of parasite if u smell the piss and poop alot . The house smelled horrible idk how they r gonna be able to sell or rent it out again 🤯

I hope they r getting enough meat because in Kevin Richardson two feeding days, in one video documentary of when he moves into his present day new sanctuary he is very much struggling using all his strength to carry to show us a 80 pound chunk of meat and saying" watch this lion take it" and the lion is effortlessly just picking it up with his mouth and running away, amazing strength!!! Thank u for making the lion enclosures the biggest enclosure (all sufficating way too small big cat enclosure zoos need to make their enclosures at least a quarter to half the size of the huge hecters of land glen garriff conservation and four paws lions rock r)I've ever seen where the lions feel like they r living in freedom and beautiful peaceful nature to be abke to run as far and as much as they want, getting excellent vetinary care!!!

[@SoyEntelequia]
