Shoalhaven Zoo on the New South Wales South Coast says two lions that attacked one of its zookeepers will not be euthanased.

The 35-year-old was cleaning the lion enclosure when the attack occurred.

"The lions involved in the incident will not be euthanased, and the care and welfare of all the zoo's animals remained a top priority.""We're staying in constant touch with our keeper Jen Brown and her family, and are enormously relieved to report that she is recovering from lacerations that she received when visiting the lions' den."

Wow, so these living creatures now have lost their right of life?

As they should be

Blueskyemining It's not the animals' fault, they didn't ask to be caged for life!

The keeper made a mistake but they were going to punish the lions for it? Put these animals back in the wild where they will be safe from our rough justice.

spared? How generous? Who brought them out from their natural habitat

So they should, who on earth would think otherwise🧐

WTAF 🤦‍♀️ why was that even questioned?

So they should be

Commonsense prevails

Spared for what? The bleeding obvious? FFS. This world is unbelievable.

Someone should have been with the keeper and the decision on whether these cats lived or died would have been made then.

it was the lions spared the zookeeper. The attack served as a warning

Why haven't they done a risk assessment and determined that having people in with lions is very, very bad.

If the lions aren't looking for a job, they shouldn't be getting the JobSeeker payments.

It’s the survival of the fittest after all!

They are wild animals and I can imagine they would be going a little crazy in a zoo. I feel sorry for both parties.

.... as they should be?

The actual statement never even mentions a consideration to euthanise them? Just your fked out writing inciting us all to panic classicmedia How about report accurately for a change. As IF they would kill them for acting like lions ffs

Why was this even a question? 😠

When life imitates art...Madagascar

And so they should, as they acted instinctively. I would like to know more details as to how this incident occurred? It sounds like keeper walked into the Lion’s Den to clean it with the Lions still in there? What’s the full story? Is it human error, or a failing of the system?

Why was euthanasia even considered? They're wild animals for god's sake. All zoo workers would understand the risks and im sure that's the last thing the worker would've wanted. If it wasnt then they shouldn't be working with animals.

What, so they were actually considering killing them in the first place?! For being lions doing liony things, in a non-liony environment that we forced them to be in? But now they’re being “spared” bc we are just *so* gracious. We are fucking unbelievable sometimes.

Good. Why on earth would anyone blame a lion for being a lion?

Lions to be spared .. for doing what comes naturally , in an unnatural environment

Maybe don't have a zoo if euthanizing an animal that belongs in the wild is considered a solution.

Lions are gonna Lion.

What could possibly go wrong?

They look like they are really sorry! Big kitties.

Capital punishment is no deterrent?
