今週はリラックス週間ということで易しめの読み物から、
実在した奇跡のライオン「ベジタリアンライオン」をとりあげます。
このライオンはこの世に生を受けてまもなく、母親ライオンから暴力で、瀕死の重傷を負います。
その後、動物好きの夫妻に引き取られ、牧場でネコやヒツジ、ウシ達と一緒に暮らし始めます。
授乳期間を終え、固形の肉を与えようとしますが嫌がって食べようとしません。
夫妻が努力して、スープに血をたらしたものを飲まそうとしても、強く拒んだといいます。
夫妻は聖書に書かれたある一節を知り、ついには子ライオンに肉を与えることをあきらめたのです。
Every year she became more gentle.
We had practically given up the hope of creating in Little Tyke a taste for meat.
We advertised the fact that we were willing to pay one thousand dollars in cash to any person who could come up with a formula including meat that Little Tyke would eat, but nothing worked.
We always asked visitors who seemed to have more-than-average knowledge of animals if they knew of some formula containing meat which she would like, because scientists had repeatedly said that she could not live without meat.
On one occasion I asked a young visitor this question, and it was he who put my mind at ease.
He turned to look at me with serious eyes, then asked, “Don't you read your Bible?”
I admitted I didn't read it as much as I probably should.
He continued, “Read Genesis 1:30, and you will get your answer.”
At my first opportunity I got my Bible and turned to the passage he had indicated.
To my astonishment, I read these words: “And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”
――中略――
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock”(Isaiah 65:25)
「Little Tyke― The true story of a gentle vegetarian lioness」 Georges H. Westbeau著
ARE-QUEST BOOK 1986年出版 32〜33 111ページ引用
