Do Not Question The Christian The Lion Reunion Video

Gabe sent this to me and said that it was the only thing that could melt his stone heart: a remix of a video of two guys being reunited in Africa with a lion they raised as a cub in the '60s:

I hate that song, yet it's used brilliantly in that video and I totally cried. My grinchy friend J says that there's no way it's real because they bought the lion in a department store? They were reunited with the lion in Africa? To which I say: Wikipedia says it. I believe it. That settles it.

I really thought you were tricking me and that lion was going to eat those people.
