THIS LIONESS WAS NOT IN THE BEST OF HER HEALTH, WHEN SHE MET THIS STRANGER

Kahn

Kahn is a six-year-old lion who was rescued by the organization a few months before of Sheila’s rescue. Just like Sheila, Kahn too had fallen into the vicious circle of the entertainment center in Texas. When Kahn was rescued his condition was as bad as Sheila’s.

Horrible Past

Kahn too was a show animal. He used to amuse audiences in private parties. For that, he was carted to different events in one day and that hectic schedule started making him ill. Despite his illness, he was forced to make appearances in parties as a show animal.

Simply Pathetic

The condition of Kahn was pathetic. He was malnourished weighing 100 pounds lesser than average weight of lions of his age. He too had been treated brutally by his owner. Kahn had been given a smaller space to live in that had hampered his physical growth. In the frustration, he did something that is the most unexpected thing one could do.

Frustrated

The frustrated and bored lion chewed his own tail off. Resultantly, the tip of his tail had gone raw and swollen. Had he not been rescued in time, he too would have died in some days. Keahey explained, “When Kahn came, the end of his tail was completely chewed off and [he] was very thin.” The lion also suffered from bone problems that made it difficult for him to walk.

Aggressive

Kahn was very aggressive when he came to the rescue center. Perhaps, he was not given enough food to eat and maybe that’s why he was aggressive towards the food.

Friendly

However, Kahn, being a fighter recovered very soon and became an integral member of the rescue center. This aggressive beast turned into a disciplined animal who would not get worked up easily. His earlier aggression was due to the health issues he faced. However, he still finds it a bit difficult to walk.
