Hi Guys
I know a lot of you get to pet "tame lions" whilst on safari. But here is just a little reality check. These animals are only tame to a point, so keep your families safe.

That is why I like my cats in the salt.

Looks to me like everyone involved from the idiot journo to the doctor at the end had ho idea what they were doing.

Mind you, it strikes me that feeding journalists to lions is a bloody good idea.

I had given Zim Frost my post of the day award, but you just beat him out by a good margin.
What a bunch of monkeys though.

Mate, I can't tell you how much I detest the media and if I had my way, I'd tie the bastard lot of 'em to a tree for leopard bait!

and poison the leopards???????

Are you two related by any chance.
Thanks for putting a side splitting grin on my face.
Between Journalists and Naki there is enough to give most any lion or leopard a bit of food poisoning.

I don't blame Naki at all. The problem with Africa's problems has always been that every bugger thinks they know all the answers to them but the truth is, you have to live or have lived in Africa to understand it all properly.

Everything in Africa is like peeling an onion. There's always layer after layer after layer and it always brings tears to your eyes.

And all those do gooding tossers make it a million times worse....... and if you think it's bad in southern Africa, you should see what a pig f**k they've made of it in east Africa.

I honestly reckon I could write a comedy book about it!

What a bunch of D@*b a$$'s feed them both to lions would only make the lion sick that much bull sh$t is hard for even a lion to digest.
I meet a researcher in Uganda that would make great lion feed

We very nearly did that very thing and that might have been the reason for his absence when I went back last time.

He was defiantly an obnoxious socialist a$$ H@@l. I should have cut his throat but self control got the best of me
I mean really how ego maniacal do you have to be to argue with Lane about the health and pain management of a large animal?????

You'll never out argue the arrogance of western youth huh...... even more so when they have socialist beliefs!

he was living proof you can educate some people beyond there intelligent's

I once submitted a research proposal for funding to the Seirra Club. It involved the feeding habits of Hyenas. I asked for 10 volunteers to assist and the idiots got all the way to the grant stage before they figured out I was jerking their chain.

the kid did have some balls. You couldn't get me within ten feet of a Lion like that.

Stupid, but balls...

Steve, your peeling onions post is too true to be funny!

When will people learn that there is no such thing as a "Tame Lion!" Some just haven't learned how good you taste.

The lion is a young male and obviosly familiar with people. Imagine what a real wild lion in full attack mode could do!!!!

Mark

That happens with a adult lion

465 H&H, what are you talking about. Disney educated me very well about the animal kingdom. Things I learned from Disney:

Bears are cuddly and make great friends and rafts ...


All animals flock together to celebrate the birth of a new lion ...


Panthers can double as a horse ...


Lions are friendly and enjoy getting a nice perm, just like us ...


And, in the event a lion misbehaves, an old lady can easily defeat him with her purse.



... I'm not too surprised people try to pet lions.
