Pet a lion.
Sports & Adventure: Nature

Why do you want to do this?

My daughter and I were talking about our favorite animals and how cool it would be to actually touch them. My favorite animal is the lion.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Lion. Our city zoo has a lion. I will have to contact the zoo and ask how I go about setting this up.

The zoo's permission. I'm sure they will say no in the beginning but I will find a way.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Zoo regulations. I would do it today if they would let me, but I'm sure a lot of red tape needs cut first.

 So I have contacted the zoo and they have given me a flat "no".  I emailed a local animal sanctuary and got the same results.  Plus some.  The ladie I was in contact with kinda put me in my place and made me realize my goal could only be reached if I were to cross paths with someone who could be deemed irresponsible.  She also informed me that in her opinion a "higher" goal would be to educate myself with all the mistreating of wild animals that is going on in America right now.  So....I have taken her up on her challenge.  I have already emailed Jack Hannah with hopes of still being able to touch a lion.  If he says no, I will officially put this goal off until another time.
