Lion Attack
While i am sorry this man was attacked it has really upset me that a lion was shot and killed because of the stupidity of the man. Why on earth would anyone go into an enclosure knowing there was a lion in there, he was very careless and because of his stupidity and carelessness we have one less lion of an already declining species which will soon become extinct because of mans cruelty and greed.
I hate how people can make money from wild animals and I think all zoos of exploitation should be closed down. Of course I am all for conservation of wild animals and these conservation projects are to be applauded for trying to conserve our lions, tigers and wildlife but they should not be there for the entertainment of us humans.
I am a huge lover of these magnificent creatures and it really does break my heart that the lion had to die because of that idiotic, foolish man. Of course I am glad the man is recovering, I wouldn't want him to die but it really angered me to see him posing and smiling for pictures from his hospital bed, he is supposedly devastated that the lion died then why would he want to pose looking all happy so soon after this tragedy and allowing the photos to become public.
Did he think of himself as some kind of lion whisperer? and because he had raised the lion from a cub that it wouldn't have it's wild instincts. Utterly crazy. This poor lion born, exploited and died in captivity. Exploitation is just wrong!
Please be aware the following video is very graphic and quite frightening.
