Equal in life.
A human volunteered to feed the lion cubs.
He was asked if he was willing to face the chopping block.
He had a name. Brian.
He had a brain but other animals brains were bigger so were spared that day as agreed by the collective life council.
The lion needed iron so the plant life were not asked even though they would have spared a number of spinach leaves.
The lions pulled at his sleeves and shared
his limbs evenly, the cubs gorged on the old man who's family could not bare to watch for they could not yet shed their human skin to see the equal person within.
