Expansion

edit

This article has lots of potential for expansion. How about the profession of lion tamer? Famous lion tamers? Species of lions that are used? A discussion of lion tamer casualties might be in order, too. Also, I heard somewhere that the shows are usually unisex (lions only, lionesses only) and that being in the cage with both lions and lionesses at the same time is more dangerous. --85.160.11.130 06:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is it worth mentioning here that the serial Darkest Africa featured Manual King as the "World's Youngest Wild Animal Trainer?" My understanding is that the boy had taught himself how to tame lions on his own (His father ran the wild animal park that was used for location footage.) so they wrote it into the plot. I may be able to find a reference for this, as there's one for the billing at the serial's page. JDZeff (talk) 20:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

The following moved from article's list of lion tamers - belongs in yet-to-be-created "In popular culture" section (which might not be such a bad idea):

Another possible section would be one on technique/approach. We hear from the existing page that some lion tamers use a chair, but there's no mention of why, what other tools they use, what the techniques used are, etc. Avapoet (talk) 08:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Source material

edit

I modified a statement to reflect source material. The cited source does not mention anything about "accusations of cruelty in recent years". The only mention of "cruelty" is: "...the cruel use of animals in circuses was the very issue that prompted our founder, Irene Heaton, to establish CAPS back in 1957." ~Eric F:74.60.29.141 (talk) 01:55, 4 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
