L. David KeithYou would think people know better but his mistake cost him his life. How terrible for his family, especially having to sit in the car and watch.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Aspen Hill AdventuresHow stupid, but I completely feel sorry for the chicldren watch their daddy get eaten. The lions really filled up on that guy. I am beginning to think Disney really didn't like people, they believe his cartoons so much they are all getting eaten. Population control perhaps?

boom stickbeing an amature everything including photgrapher i can see where looking through a lense you can forget that there is a real world going on and sometimes neglect your own safty. this guy took it to an extreme and yes to see your father eaten by lions is a horrible thing but a stunning reminder that animals are "animals" that do not reason like us. disney ect have humanized them and put many children in harms way. i grew up watching nature shows and seeing animals eat eachother. today humans and animals laugh and play together for raings and to get parents to buy products.
do your kids a favor and watch nature programs that show animals as they are not as we would like them to be. there is no alpo or meow mix on the serenghetti

smarterthanuhow sad. almost as sad is no one lifted a finger to help that I can tell.
18 May 2007, 22:30
boom stickthe guy was dead in 20 seconds...no need to lose another life. they needed guns and had none.
18 May 2007, 23:03
smarterthanuParks officials dispersed the lions with a vehicle. Two other vehicles were there and nobody used them to help the guy. There is also no way to tell if the guy was dead in 20 seconds
18 May 2007, 23:28
smarterthanuI sure hope it is a hoax.
18 May 2007, 23:30
Use Enough GunPretty graphic, but more than that, pretty stupid. Like others have pointed out, why didn't someone run a vechile in that direction and try and get the lions out of there?

boom stickthe guy was not responding after 20 seconds into the attack. dead, in shock or passed out. he was a gonner. the point is dont put yourself in danger without a gun or guns especialy with family...
hoax? i dont think so...

smarterthanuI agree smarter decisions can be made and firearms do have thier place in this situation, but for no one to render aid to a man in this situation would be appauling. I don't think boomstick would want someone else deciding he wasn't worth saving while lions gnaw upon him. The fact is people need to act like men with functional testicals and step up even if it is just to save a dead man.

boom stickevery man woman or child is worth saving but my point is he was toast to begin with. the smart thing would have been to use the cars to chase the lions away the oth guy had to protect the newly made orphans as well as try to save this guy
I get nothing but the website!
