Rutledge

Just heard on the radio that Rutledge at the Oaklawn Farm Zoo was put down.

But as a happy, they said that the average age of a lion is 15(?) years and he was almost 18.

 

I just saw this on the herald site

 

I heard that too. He lived longer than the expected life of captive lions.

rip <3

 

Look at it this way. At least now he's free of his prison.

 

That's true. I was thinking about that when they were saying it on the radio.. that would suck to live in such a small cage.

 

He was born there and had a pretty good run while he was there.

RIP Rutledge.

 

I think the animals up there are treated pretty well. The lions have a very large area and he had lots of bitches.


RIP Rutledge

 

was he the one that had the tumours?

 

I agree.

 

Shitty deal!
We were up this summer for feeding time, he looked old and tired.
RIP

 

He was the largest lion in captivity at 800 and some odd pounds. RIP Rutledge
