One hell of a lion trainer. That lion was telegraphing "I don't want to be here and I'm in poor control" for several minutes before the shoot. Then the woman acted like prey in front of him so..he charged. Dumb humans, lion being lion. Still, maybe Bruce Lee might have been able to take him... SG

It always seems ridiculous when people think they have 'tamed' wild animals which then eat their children, them, or their neighbours, passersby or anyone who gets in their sights. I watched a lion show in one of the casinos in Las Vegas and noted that the guys in the cage were NOT taking it lightly. They knew they were just one step away from being dinner and acted very cautiously. I preferred to be even more cautious and watch from the OUTSIDE of the cage. Better still would be to watch them on television with the lions in Africa. Cages are not always robust as the taunting young guys learned in San Francisco when a big cat jumped a high wall and killed one or two of them. People with dogs love to say "Oh he wouldn't hurt a fly". I keep children well clear. They don't seem to understand that the dog likes THEM and the gang, not OTHER people. Some dogs do love pretty much anyone and they don't show it with teeth and a snarl. There's a really happy friendly Irish setter which lives nearby and he just loves visitors stopping at the gate to give him a rub, scratch etc. He might think differently about a cat. Mqurice
