If you get a baby lion as soon as its born and raise it properly 'til it reaches adulthood...?

Question

will it attack you when it's old even though you raised it or will it like you and wont attack you?

Answer 1

yes... its called instinct. thats why when PROFESSIONALS raise wild lions and tigers they strictly limit their contact with them once they reach adulthood.

No matter how they are raised they still have a predator drive

Answer 2

There's always a chance. We have to understand that many exotic pets - lions included - are not going to be as loyal and trustworthy as a dog. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of generations, shaped for our needs, while lions are basically wild animals. They are too unpredictable to keep safely as pets. There have been reports of lions maiming or killing humans even accidentally, just not knowing their own strength.

There are other problems with owning a big cats as well - a home enviroment just can't provide a lion - which in the wild can have territories hundreds of miles long - with the physical and mental stimulation it needs. Because of boredom and lack of exercise, a lion will find it's own ways to amuse itself, which include destroying your house, attacking humans, and roaring. If you get a lion, I can almost guarantee that it will end up either in a sanctuary: destined to live in a small enclosure for life, or euthanized.

Besides, it's illegal to own a lion without a liscense.
