In war-torn Iraq, many casualties have gone unreported – among them, an escaped pride of lions.”
“This struggling family of four great cats must find a way to stay together and avoid the deadly conflict that’s exploding around them in a world they can never hope to comprehend.

The horrors of WWI trench warfare meant that about 10% of the fighting soldiers were killed (compared to 4.5% during World War II) and the total proportion of troops who became casualties (killed or wounded) was 56%. Whether a shell-shock sufferer was considered “wounded” or “sick” depended on the circumstances.”

Many generals considered those who suffered shell shock to be cowards, and a large number were executed.” More info here Here and an alternate video Here.
