Dean Schneider started a new life in South Africa, where he cared for and protected many wild animals such as lions and hyenas. The boy said he was not afraid, on the contrary he loved them very much.
- Dean Schneider is a famous guy on social networks thanks to the story of selling the company, leaving his own career to Africa, putting all the accumulated money to build a wildlife conservation center. The boy from Switzerland has a love for animals since childhood and is fascinated by ferocious species such as hyenas, lions, and leopards.
“At first, none of my family and friends supported me, but seeing me as resolute and determined, they eventually accepted,” Dean said. In South Africa, the guy founded a project called Hakuna Mipaka, which means “Unlimited”. All the money saved is used to operate the 400-hectare reserve, where many wild animals are rescued from poachers, and circuses often force the animals to perform for entertainment.
Dean’s daily job is to check and spend time playing with the lions. The boy said this is his favorite animal. To get to know and become their friend, Dean often gets close to the lions when they are still young. In addition, he spends time observing and learning the behavior of this species.
At the age of 27, the Swiss guy is completely satisfied with his current life. “My mission is to bring love for animals to everyone’s heart. I believe my efforts will help wildlife continue to live on this Earth,” Dean wrote in the introduction on the project website.
