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

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

Those animal darts aren't instant like Dexters.

Yes I know
but fire 2
and it will drop.

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

why the intern entered the cage of the
four-year-old lion named Couscous photographed here in 2012 ]

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.']

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.

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

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...

Agree with this ^

i'm more sad that the lion died

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

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

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.

Yes its all gone wrong at that Park
