[Niamh.]

Well I can understand why they shot the Lion if they were trying to stop it attacking the girl and had no other means to do so

[Suze]

It's very sad that she died and in that way :( They should be looking into the reason she wasput in that position that the lion was free to attack her. But why kill that lion for acting on instinct? :(

Yes but its wrong
they should have Darted it.



The 24 year old was dead

Couldn't they have harmed it without actually killing it though? :(

They must not have had darts or maybe they don't act fast enough. Now I know that's what Lions do and should they even be in captivity in the first place is another debate completely but I'm sorry if I saw a Lion mauling a person to death and I had a gun, I'd shoot

[Jesus.]

Those animal darts aren't instant like Dexters.

[arista]

Yes I know
but fire 2
and it will drop.

Killing the Lion is Wrong - Its doing what its meant to.

[An investigation is now underway into
why the intern entered the cage of the
four-year-old lion named Couscous photographed here in 2012 ]

[Jesus.]

You're wrong Arista, for one very simple reason. Giving a lion too much tranquiliser is the same as shooting them. It kills them. Whenever vets give animals a sedative, it's based on the weight of the animal. Too much is lethal, so in order to give that lion the right amount, would take time to get into their systems.

I agree that killing it was wrong, but once they decided it needed to be stopped, then shooting it was the most humane way. That lion would have guarded that body with it's life till it had been stripped of meat. There is no way that could be allowed to happen.

A chance they could save it
is better than shooting the Animal to Death

['These are big cats that are extremely dangerous,
and they placed a volunteer in the actual cage
with a wild animal. That should have never happened.']

[Jesus.]

Think I've read somewhere that it forces them into fits and a heart attack. It's more humane to kill it. It's also now learned that we really are a source of food, as well ad for food. It makes the animal twice as dangerous and on the look out for live kills.

We don't know how she got in the cage.

[AnnieK]

As sad as it is that the animal died they really did have no option really. The questions that need asking and answering is why she was in the enclosure and put at such risk.

Yes the Owner of the Park was crying
as he wanted to keep both alive.


Someone at that time
was on Duty above her
so they need that persons name

[Livia]

Another story of some dickhead amateur wandering into an enclosure with a wild animal and the animal has to be killed as a consequence. What a species we are...

[Kazanne]

Yes but its wrong
they should have Darted it.



The 24 year old was dead

Agree with this ^

[Saph]

i'm more sad that the lion died

[arista]

So am I,
as soon there will not be many
Wild Animals.


I hope this Never happens again

No she has worked with all the Animals there
but someone in charge of her
should have shouted "Get Out Of There Fast"


The Owner
is so upset
but some of his Staff are to blame

[Vicky.]

People should stop getting upclose and personal with wild(or should be wild) animals shouldnt they...good god. No sympathy I'm afraid, its a risk you take when doing stuff like that :rolleyes:

Poor lion is all I can say, stupid b*tch

[Shaun]

I wouldn't say she was a dickhead... it is possible to work well with such animals... it's just a sad accident. Being angry at the consequences of it shouldn't mean we insult the deceased.

I think once the lion has seen you, then you've got absolutely no chance and someone shouting that, is not really going to save her. It seems like no one knew she'd actually gone in there to begin with.

[arista]

Yes we need to find out why
sure.

Exactly, some of the responses in this thread are pretty horrible I have to say

[Jake.]

This, couldn't agree more. This girls family are mourning her at this hard time, and remarks such as 'dickhead' are just completely disrespectful, no matter what you make of the situation. Nobody even knows why it occured yet, and it's just painful that a lions life is being compared to that of a humans.

[Apple202]

Lions > Humans

:idc:

[Niamh.]

Lions > Humans

:idc:

You would trade your friends and family for some Lions then would you? Or is it just Lions > Humans-Apple-isn't-related-to-Or-considers-a-friend?

:idc:

Yes of course.

Well obviously?

[Livia]

"People should have zero access to big cats, even when they are cubs," says Patty Finch, executive director of the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. "There is no safe way to be inside of an enclosure with a lion that is conscious."

Quite so.

[Ninastar]

It's not right to lock these animals up... And to think people are surprised when there are deaths?

It's a sad story, but I feel more sorry for the lion than anything

They were not locked in cages.

They are in a Park

To anyone that says it was wrong to kill the lion... are you a Vegan? If not, then STHU, cause thousands of animals die for your dinner every night, why is a lion more precious than a chicken or a cow?

seriously.

if you are a Vegan, then you have every right to criticize other people killing animals, but if you're not, then you have no right to decide which animals should be killed or how or why.

The lion killed a girl, and the lion was killed. fair play.

[Kizzy]

It should never have happened in the first instance. It's extremely sad all round.

[arista]

From FoxNewsHD Update on this
The Lion got out of its area and attacked her.

So that 24 year old did nothing wrong, infact.

How did that young Lion get out of its caged area?

[Vanessa]

You couldn't pay me enough for this kind of job. :eek::bawling:

[Apple202]

Shouldn't have been encaged anyway or should have better security in the park :idc: still not the lion's fault
