Terrible! Someone improperly secured the lion, obviously.

I’m always happy when a wild animal turns in a human

All news of someone being killed are horrific. It's someone's child, sibling, maybe even parent! Now let's put things into a perspective!Was there a way to prevent it?Did the person use every precaution mandated to assure his safety?What choice do war victims have in comparison?

the world is a much better place thanks to the wonderful world press reporting. Keep up the useless work.

That's horrible! 😢

Was that Trump? No! He's older than 22. Really? Too bad!

How many kids are starving in Yemen?

Dramatic 911 calls released from fatal lion attack of zoo internA staff member at the Conservators Center can be heard on 911 calls telling a dispatcher that there's been a lion attack and the person is 'incapacitated.' Simba normally just lays down in the corner when we sweep. Res Ipsa Loquitur. “The thing speaks for itself.” In English, a lion doesn’t get loose and kill an intern at a zoo unless safety protocols were breached in some way. Awfully sad incident. The family’s lawyer should make short work of this one. Shut down the zoo and send the animals back where they belong. Let the animals do what is natural to them. And in the end we all live happy ever after...
