About This Book
This is the story of a lioness that refused to eat the flesh of other
beings..
In America, during the mid 20th century, an African lioness in
frustrational zoological confinement, neurotically killed it's cubs
after 4 consecutive pregnancies..
The 5th child was waited for anxiously by zoo attendants, who managed to
step in and save the little fellow before the mother was able to inflict
more than injury to one of her daughters leg..
"Little Tyke", they called her.
She was given to the care of Georges and Margaret Westbeau, who have
since written the story of her life in the book "Little Tyke" (By G.
Westbeau - Theosophical Publishing House, IL, USE, 1986).
From the start, the young Little Tyke, a clearly advanced soul, refused
to eat flesh. She also steadfastly chose not to accept any gifts of
bones that were naturally offered to her. In fact, Mr. Westbeau observed
that she could spend an hour at a time eating the succulent tall grass
in the fields.
This caused a good deal of concern and anguish for the Westbeaus, who
both felt strongly that she should be eating the flesh of others in
order to maintain her own health.
Their attempts to trick her into doing so were all unnsuccessful.
They even tried adding a few drops of blood to her milk in order to
accustom her to the taste of flesh, but just one drop was enough to make
her turn away from her milk in disgust.
Her diet consisted predominantly of cooked grains of various sorts, raw
eggs and milk. At 4 years she weighed in at around 160kgs, and one
visiting zoo curator apparantly even claimed that Little Tyke was the
most healthiest of her species he'd ever come across.
Sadly, at the age of 9, while in Hollywood for filming of a nation-wide
television broadcast, Little Tyke suffered from Pneumonia and died some
short weeks later.
