Saladino de Souza Gonzalez takes advantage of the
fact that in Brazil the law allows people lions at home. 'People's
homes need from thieves,' says Mr Gonzalez. 'With a lion for a guard
a thief may enter, but he won't leave!!'
Mr Gonzalez started with three lions ten
years ago, and at the moment he manages three lion cubs a year, but he
would like the business. 'I don't remember ever
trouble
selling one,' he says.
He advises owners their lion freely in the back yard at night.
Owners like /
it
up
and down when they are in bed; it helps them /
more soundly. 'A lion is no problem with children as long as the
animal is bought when young, and you remember
it
regularly,' he says. Maria de Oliveira is a satisfied customer: 'I
just can't help
when I see my little girl
with Mikey, our lion. I only regret
another cub at the same time.'
