Frankly, it is an embarrassment that we, the –as–Mr. Darcy–loving public, have waited almost twenty years for this momentous occasion. But yes, finally, the dream has been made real: 's famous
lake moment — the one where his wet eighteenth-century undershirt clings to him just so — has been made into a giant statue. It is twelve feet tall, and it is sitting in the middle of London's Serpentine lake. Sorry, can't finish this post, we have to fly to London now.

你可能喜欢Lion Cub Starved by Circus to Keep Him ‘Small’ for Selfies Finally Gets the Care He Needs | One Green Planet
<meta property="og:description" content="Four-month-old Mangus the lion cub was kept on a liquid-only diet by circus owners so that he would stay small for visitor&#8217;s selfies, according to The Mirror, when he should have been switched to solid foods at least two months ago. And, unfortunately, this isn&#8217;t an isolated incident for lions and tigers (and even elephants) in entertainment.

Lion Cub Starved by Circus to Keep Him &#8216;Small&#8217; for Selfies Finally Gets the Care He Needs

Four-month-old Mangus the lion cub was kept on a liquid-only diet by owners of a circus two months longer than he should have been so that he would stay small for visitor&#8217;s selfies, according to .
The circus owners were charging about $22 per selfie with Magnus and deliberately starved this young cub to ensure that he would not get too big for customers to pick him up. Not only is this incredibly cruel treatment for a small lion cub, but it has lead Magnus to develop serious health problems that will last for the duration of his life.
As a result of the liquid-only diet, Mangus&#8217; esophagus had shrunk and he was unable to eat solids. Thankfully, he has been taken into care by , a global animal rescue that paid for a surgery to have his esophagus widened.
Little Mangus has recovered from the surgery and can now eat crushed chicken! His weight has doubled since the operation, from 24 pounds to 48 pounds.
&#8220;The circus regarded the baby lion as an attraction to bring in visitors and they were keen to keep it small for as long as possible,&#8221; Ivan Jimenez, a spokesman for Let&#8217;s Adopt, told . &#8220;We decided to pay for the surgery although we usually only treat cats and dogs.&#8221;
Veterinarian Nelo Civera told
that it&#8217;s unlikely Mangus will ever be able to eat huge chunks of meat, and his meals will always have to be cut up for him to make sure he doesn&#8217;t try to swallow things that are too large.
&#8220;He certainly would never survive in the wild,&#8221; Civera . Luckily, thanks to the kind people at Let&#8217;s Adopt, Magnus will be well looked after and will never have to endure this sort of abuse again.
While Magnus&#8217; story is heartbreaking, unfortunately, this
for small lions and tigers. Big cats used for photo opportunities are often , even though the industry tells visitors that the cats are just trained to be more docile. Cubs like Mangus typically have
to keep them from harming visitors. And it only gets worse: A recent undercover investigation
that big cats at two major facilities that allow selfies were infected with giardia and ringworm, which can both be passed to humans. Both of these organizations also masqueraded the selfies as part of their &#8220;conservation&#8221; message.
But that isn&#8217;t conservation at all — wild animals . Cubs are
their mothers at eight weeks of age or earlier so that they&#8217;re easier to handle. This means that they don&#8217;t learn tiger social skills and become so over-socialized with and dependent on humans that they can never be
back into the wild.
Further, Big Cats Rescue
that entertainment acts with big cats or photos with them gives the public a totally distorted message:
&#8220;These acts either show man dominating one of nature’s most magnificent creatures, which would never happen on an even playing field, or, worse, are promoted as illustrations of the &#8216;special bond&#8217; the trainer has with his captive.&#8221;
The latter view
the illegal trade for big cats and ruins our education concerning what these animals are . By
and parks that allow selfies with big cats, we can help
them. Lion and tiger cubs should never have to suffer solely because we want a selfie!
