Humans are predators and need to hunt and kill to survive, but
apparently this is not true of lions.

A few decades ago, an African lioness defied nature and science by
choosing a vegetarian diet. Rescued at birth from a violent mother,
Little Tyke was handraised on a bottle and grew up in a household with
other pets. At weaning age, George and Margaret Westbeau began
introducing what is considered normal lion foods into her diet but the
big cat refused to eat meat. Worried by scientists' claims that cats
could not live without meat, they tried many strategies and even
offered a cash reward to anyone who could persuade the lioness to eat
meat. A zoo curator told them to try adding a few drops of blood to her
bottle of milk but Tyke refused the milk with even one drop of blood in
it. She even refused to gnaw on bones and was given rubber boots to
chew for her dental health.
In the meantime Tyke thrived on raw eggs, cooked grains, and milk. She
matured at four years of age into a 352 lb picture of health. In spite
of this, the Westbeau's worried that the lack of meat would
eventually destroy her health. Finally a visitor to their Washington
ranch reminded them of the Genesis 1:30 Bible verse that reads, "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." That ended their
concerns and Tyke remained a vegetarian. She astonished the nation with
appearances on television showing affection to baby chickens, kittens,
and lambs. She was once photographed in a slaughter house showing
disgust as she turned away from a bloody carcass with a grimace on her
face. It is reported that the vegetarian feline lived in the best of
health until nine years of age when she died of viral pneumonia.
