Born to be wild

Some of the cheetahs and other animals that were at the wildlife preserve that I went to recently were born at the preserve. Some of them were endangered species and the hope was that they would one day be released back into the wild to help increase their numbers. 

Can you imagine being raised in the calm predictableness of a preserve, fed by a bottle, and then one day being released into the wild to fend for yourself? 

I imagine it would be quite a shock.

If you’re uncomfortable, it might be because you’re not prepared. 

But ships weren’t made for the harbor. 

And perhaps you were born to be wild.
