Jim Harbaugh’s hire for the Los Angeles Chargers could mean big things for a certain former NFL star: Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedIy been aiming for an NFL comeback.
Several teams have briefly shown some interest and he has worked out for teams before, but he hasn’t been signed or come close to it. The door seemed to be closing, but Harbaugh’s return could change that. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio highlighted that Kaepernick’s major milestones came under Harbaugh, who aIso voiced his support for the quarterback during his exile.
Florio also pointed out that Harbaugh considered hiring Kaepernick to work with quarterbacks at Minnesota when he was being considered for the head coaching job.
There’s no telling what Harbaugh plans to do. He’s only just been hired by LA, but the connection to the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is very reaI and could be his last shot at a return.
Circus lion was locked up for 20 long years, now watch his reaction when he’s released
Animals hold a special place in my heart, and the idea of a mountain lion, especially a majestic one like Mufasa, being chained in a truck bed is simply heartbreaking.
Sadly, that was Mufasa’s reality. He was part of a traveling circus in Peru, forced to endure a miserable existence for people’s entertainment and his owner’s profit.
Thankfully, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of animal rights activists.
Many animals still face abuse and neglect in circuses, zoos, and shows. While recent years have seen some improvements, there’s a long road ahead. Countless creatures are confined to cramped spaces, denied the lives they deserve.
Mufasa, the magnificent mountain lion, was discovered chained to a pickup truck in Peru. For twenty long years, he was imprisoned in a life he never wanted.
Though his freedom came later in life, it arrived nonetheless. In 2015, after months of dedicated effort, Animal Defenders International, an animal rights organization, secured his release. They encountered Mufasa while shutting down a Peruvian circus.
Freedom had a profound impact on Mufasa’s well-being. He was finally free from the shackles of anxiety and oppression, experiencing the fundamental right all wild creatures deserve – to roam free in their natural habitat and live on their own terms.
Mufasa’s rescue story is heartwarming, and the video below captures his first steps towards freedom – a truly beautiful moment!
Tragically, after his rescue, Mufasa’s health, compromised by twenty years of captivity, began to decline. He succumbed to kidney failure and other age-related issues in 2015, according to Animal Defenders International.
Yet, his story serves as a powerful reminder.
Mufasa, a gentle giant who loved a good scratch, may not have had a longer time in the Amazon rainforest, but his brief taste of freedom is far preferable to a lifetime of captivity.
No animal should ever endure what Mufasa did.
