In 2009, Florence had to undergo a dangerous surgery to remove a rusty hook from the jaw. After recovering, Florence was taken to BSLC to take care of and since then, Florence only likes 'fasting' .
But in fact, Graham Burrows manager at BSLC said: 'We have to find ways to replenish proteins for Florence like putting sandwiches between vegetables'.
According to huffingtonpost.com, Florence is not the first case of a predator not eating meat. That was in 1950, the American couple George and Margaret Westbeau created a work about a lion named Little Tyke 'refusing' to eat meat right after being born. George raised Little Tyke growing up only with food sources of milk, cereals and eggs.
