What's A Lion Worth? | The Lion Whisperer

Ever wondered how much a lion was worth? Our latest video tells you what someone would pay to kill a lion in the wild and what the world is doing about it.

The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.

To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his YouTube Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.

Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.

By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.

Humans really are disgusting. Glad to see that there are still so many decent people in the comments section and of course in the Lion Whisperer team.

I do not understand what kind of human being can get pleasure from shooting a lion. And those pathetic cowards that pay to kill a lion in a canned hunt make me sick. I pray things change before its too late. #SaveLions

Great video guys. It makes me ashamed to be human when people kill such amazing animals (Not just lions, but elephants, cougars, whales etc). Keep up the awesome work, I do my best to support you guys whenever I can. #SaveLions

Aloha from Hawaii. I've never get enough to watch Kevin & his
How is the baby hyena, Nicolas doing???? He is so

Kevin Richardson. that's a tough question. I would say Gabby or Bobcat. Thanks again for sharing your videos, looking forward till the next one. Take care my friend.

Beautiful video! A Lion is simply priceless. ♥ Anyone hunting and killing these animals purely for sport should lose the right to live too. It's that simple.

I think the term "Canned Hunting" is not suitable. This is outright slaughter. "Canned slaughter"

Kevin, surprised....no. Saddened...yes. Wearing my Lion Whisperer Staff tee...proudly! It gives me extra opportunities to send people to your website/YouTube channel, when I'm approached with questions. Many are shocked by the lion plight, their numbers. I go to your videos for info and lots of smiles! ♡♡♡

love seeing what you do for these animals Kevin. great job!

I wish every trophy hunter a gun malfunction and every Lion a favorable wind for their noses in that moment.

I love what you do for all the animals. Really wished I won the mega lottery because I would have come there, and donated a massive amount to your cause without any hesitation. Providing I could stay at your location for a full year. ;) Keep up the good work, and love.

There should be complete ban.
They are beautiful and sacred.
My aboriginal ancestors hunted for survival not for trophies. Their lives and existence matters .
You have good spirit

How many times do I have to watch this to read the text? I'm just looking at the lions all the time!

[arammmasoumi]

This is a disgusting world we live in. We need more people like you

GREAT VIDEO ! The life does not dispose, does not buy itself! The life is the most
precious good which the animal and the human being have in common. The
human being is the only human being on earth to be also selfish and
bloodthirsty!
Kevin, you are an incredible man. The wish I could make more for you, yours animals and your cause. I hope that UFSW will make the good decisions, that solutions will be found and that measures will be organized to end the banned canned hunting and save the lions bred in captivity. You have my support !

Please keep up the good work. Thank you so much for all you do #SAVETHELION!!!

I had no idea something like canned hunting existed. I just read your book part of the pride and it was excellent. Thank you for the education.
