inmate running the asylum Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 A zoo official said: "It appears that all safety protocols and features we have in place were followed." Hmm. Yeah right. So did someone give the lion a key to his cell door the night before and he let himself out? Although I sympathize with the woman, I am glad they didn't kill the lion. All he was doing was being a lion. http://animal.discovery.com/news/animalalert/reu/20020514/lionripsarm.html?ct=9790.07118455233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 "We don't feel there's any reason to believe that anything the lion did caused this tragic accident to happen" Other than the actual tearing off of the arm, I'd agree. Not the lion's fault, necessarily, but he/she was kind of involved. "I've had beaver wrapped around my face for prolonged periods, and I'm no worse off" - Pete :laugh: Good stuff, Pete (wasn't it?).

"I've had beaver wrapped around my face for prolonged periods, and I'm no worse off" - Pete Wow, we've really got a lot of unusual pets on this board. We've got at least three people with pet monkeys, and now a guy with a pet beaver! How unusual! Do you have to keep a beaver in the bathtub, like that guy who kept the otter in the movie "Ring of Bright Water?" I saw that movie when I was a kid, and I really liked it, but then at the end of the movie, they killed the beaver!!! That sucked!!! They shouldn't kill animals in movies that innocent little kids are gonna see. I was so upset I almost couldn't finish my hamburger. Now about that lion, I'd say that the lion was justifiably angry over being held captive in his cell, without any, you know, lady lions to keep him company. He probably just wanted some, you know, female companionship. Everybody needs some of that, now and then, right? He probably was just trying to hold her hand, cause, you know, she was a girl, even if she wasn't a girl lion, she still probably had some girl, you know, "equipment" on her somewhere, and the lion was probably just asking her to come inside so he could, you know, have a little "access", and probably when he tried to hold her hand, her arm came right off!!! Lions are strong, you know, and their fingers are real pointy, so this could happen. I know this happens to me all the time, but at least I never actually eat the girl's arm. Oh well, to each his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I guess that’s the difference between us Chief, I ate the beaver :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 I make a post on lions and the discussion "evolves" into beavers. I guess that just goes to show that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is true. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
