Keepers of the Wild

Elvis, a large maneless lion, is showing his defiance by not leaving his cage when he is called to entertain an audience. His master could use a whip, like others might, but instead allows Elvis to remain in his cage--this time. Elvis knows his boundary, but his painful stomach ache is keeping him from moving. Elvis and the other lions and tigers are trained to do stunning and spectacular tricks, but behind the scenes and the breathtaking stunts, these animals are victims of the entertainment business and suffer greatly. Elvis's "master," Jonathan, realizes the animals are really being tortured by living in cages twenty-two hours a day. Both of their lives change when Jonathan has a change of heart and decides to become a rescuer instead of an entertainer and creates a place that Elvis and other wild animals can call a good home with room to roam
