I am not sure everyone realizes what a huge sacrifice and commitment taking on George and Yami was. In the beginning organizations where giving Kevin alot of lip service about supporting him when he took them only to abandon him when the medical bills started coming in. Thank you Kevin for giving not only these two lions a good life and meeting all there needs but all the creatures in your care. May God bless you richly in this life and the next. Thank you from a small town in eastern USA.

I saw a set of beautiful female lion's and a few males, somewhere in South Africa and the man who owns them wears a turquoise T shirt I was horrified to see this man who has a Dutch sounding name smacking punching and shouting at his lion's like someone in a circus. He pulls the lion's around with their tails. Then he tool off his shoe and was whacking the lion's who were sick of the treatment Some thing needs to be done about that man, he is like a psychopath toward those poor animals. I noticed quite a few comments about that man. Something needs to be done about it. It's on KZread. Kevin Richardson on the other hand, is such a total contrast and it's a great privilege and pleasure to see these videos of Kevin and the Big Cats, plus hyenas, and the care he gives to all his animals.

I still remember seeing these two as two little and playful furballs. It's good to see they've grown up to be healthy and strong lions.

t's a calling. It comes from the heart. And animals are very sensitive to the attitude towards themselves. But there's something else we don't know. ! all respect to this fearless guy!!!!! What a good fellow he is! How much do you need to feel the animal, to become akin to it, so that the wild animal accepts you into its pack. Bravo!!! Here, good relations are not always established with a domestic cat, but here prides, packs of hyenas, no, it's just wonderful! There is also a brave man Alexey Tikhonov, who also lives in South Africa and has his own pride of lions.

This's a person doing his job not for money, but for passion you're a great person. No wonder every animal loves you :)

I don’t know how you have the bravery to work with Lions, wishing love and safety to you and the lions.

I come back and watch videos over and over again and Georgie and Yum Yum still make me cry every time I look into Georgie's eyes he pierces your sole with those eyes. Knowing what they both endured in that awful petting zoo in Spain. And to see how Kevin took them in and Kevin and staff and volunteers and Dr. Caldwell and his team took these little guys and gave them especially Georgie THE BEST quality of life. And when Yum Yum started getting mean to George Kevin again stepped in to see what could be done and the medication worked. Yum Yum has taken massive strides. Thank You Kevin, staff and Dr Caldwell and staff for taking such excellent care of these two 🙏

Big boys Georgie-Porgie and Yam-Yam started life as a nightmare but that turned into a beautiful dream come true as soon as Mr. Kevin showed up. Your work is priceless, Kev. A true hero, you are.

George holds a special place in my heart like a Mother who has a soft spot for one of her children. 💖

I'm happy Yame is feeling better. Poor George is a gentle soul and doesn't deserve his brothers grouchy behavior. 🙂❤🦁

Beautiful story!!! If a person who mistreat animals, I shutter to think how they treat humans. I just want all animals to have the life they are suppose to have. Thank you Kevin for your love, compassion and care towards lions and other animals. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I would say definitely one of my favorite two lions. However, I start to think about Amy, Meg, Thor or Gabby and I realize how much I love them all. Each Lion and Lioness has their unique quirk and personality which is why they are “The One and Only”...

Seeing George and all he has had to battle...and Kevin and his team are right there every step of the way to see Georgie and Yame have the BEST QUALITY of life the rest of their days.You brought them so far along Kevin❤what ambassadors for canned lions/petting zoo's. They are living proof as to THE WHY you done do this to any animal. You take away their quality of life. Kevin's whole journey 20+ years now is because of these 2 EXACT reason's Kevin has pledged to see the animals in his care have THE BEST quality of life after he rescued all his animals from his former employer. Kevin has given up so much in his own life to give his animals that he took under his wing to see that they had THE BEST he could offer. And he has stayed TRUE TO HIS WORD❤GOD BLESS you Kevin😀

Truly for me the video highlighted Kevin’s passion for the lion and their welfare and how he loves the animals in his care like a father, accepting and understanding of their personalities and needs and proud of what they have become. Hurrah for you, Kevin and team!

My god they look so happy Good thing they are with you now

Imagine going to work with a neck restraint, and when someone asks...”I got whiplash by a lion”, lol.

George and Yame have a special place in my heart ❤. I love those boys.

From a cruel and sad start to life to being Kings of their enclosure.. KEV IS AWESOME. 💚🧡💛💯💯

I’m so glad animals have you all. We need more people like you guys! 💛

Everyone loves George and Yame!!! Both remarkable in their own rights but that Georgie is a true fighter and a great representation of perseverance, never giving up and the "Yes I can, just watch" attitude. We as humans can learn alot from these beautiful creatures. ❤

I tell everyone about this crazy amazing guy who literally goes on walks with lions, thank you for saving so many

Awww, love them to bits. Gorgeous boys. Thank you for rescuing them when they were in dire straits. 🙏💕🇿🇦

So even in lions, it’s the “teen” years where they are the most difficult to handle. LOL!!!

You know it’s just beautiful to see George and yame go from cub to adults it’s been an amazing journey honestly. Thank you so much Kevin for taking care of these magnificent lions🙏😊

Awwwww, thanks for that. So glad George and Yame are doing well. 🦁🐾

George and Yame are living the very best life after being rescued by Kevin and his organization ! Even with all George 's problems due to malnutrition that he and Yame suffered he is truly and inspiration to all ! Love watching all your videos , but George and Yame are truly special lions !

I like to think that Kevin was sent from Heaven to care for these magnificent and resilient animals. Gratitude for all his hard work and love.

Hi Kevin & team, thanks for the hard work always. It’s an honor to support your cause. Cheers from a Spaniard in Sweden.

It is so beautiful to see theese animals enjoying freedom for the first time in their lives. God bless u, Kevin. Cheers from Brazil

Despite setbacks, George has a great attitude. Yame is so gorgeous. I love George and Yame!💕🦁🦁💕 P.S. I'm happy to hear Yame is better. I love them both so much. I want them to be happy and healthy. 💕

Watching these two grow up warms my heart

I just saw few days ago, the documentary on french tv about the story of George and Yame. Become a Lion. Thanks to this tourist who called Cach association whom brought them to Fauna y Acción. They called you and you did such an incredible job. These lions are very strong, they fought to stay alive. Thanks to all of you. ❤️

My favourite line from all the lion whisperer videos is “Georgie! Stop grimacing and get in!!” 😂🦁❤

Thankyou so much for letting us in George and Yume grow up!! They were adorable Cubs and now handsome boys! Kevin you are truly a selfless wonderful beautiful human being. 🦁🦁♥️♥️

Wow - watching your symbiotic relationship with these majestic cats is humbling and inspiring. Thank you for sharing these videos with the collective. Peace, love and light 🌞

Cutest most loving, innocent face ever.

George and Yame thankfully ended up with you and your amazing team Kevin. Without you, I can't even imagine where these two lovely boys would be ❤🙏 they are wonderful ambassadors!

You (as Kevin) see their suffering, you feel their stress and you know what they need. Your sensitive being, your intution is a real gift dear Kevin, especially to those you have rescued. I love watching your videos so much, I almost never feel stress when I watch them (only maybe when they kill an animal as I'm sensitive myself), it's such a lovely "place" to visit from time to time. Thank you. 🩷🦁🩷 PS: 1:49 Oh, and what is interesting (I just noticed) George and Yame didn't have pink nose tips when they were cubs. You said that lions and tigers have pink snouts when they are young, but maybe that was also due to malnutrition of the poor babies.

what you do for these lions is so amazing. You may not get the credit you deserve, but you are fantastic person and I thank you so much.

This is like the scene in the Lion King where he changes from a cub to an adult. I’m glad you were there for Yame and George, and I’m glad they are happy and well!

I'm from Spain and every time I listen to this story I feel sad and kind of embarrassed. I remember that one of the first videos I watched in this channel was the story about George and Yame. It's like I saw them grow up and I remember being all worried about Georgie when he was in a weak health condition. Therefore, even though I love all the lions from the Sanctuary, I feel a special connection with these two brothers. After five years they have turned out into two beautiful and healthy lions all thanks to you. Hopefully I can volunteer in your Sanctuary in a couple of years and I get to see both of them and all the other amazing animals. Thank you always for your hard work 🙏. Greetings from Spain ❤️

Such beautiful lions 😊😊 I really love George and Yame It is a beautiful video ♥♥ Loved it 😊 Love from India Alright Peace😊

Beautiful story, touching, sad, and joyful the same time! Thank you, Kevin, for your wonderful acts, as always!!! So happy they both grew up into fantastic living beings!!!
