American woman, 22, dragged to her death by a lion after leaving car window open during South African safari
2015-06-03
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] It is a hard thing when one has shot sixty-five lions or more, as I have in the course of my life, that the sixty-sixth should chew your leg like a quid of tobacco. It breaks the routine of the thing, and putting other considerations aside, I am an orderly man and don't like that.

#5  Wild animals don't attack humans, unless provoked provided there is enough hunting to keep them in fear of humans. Otherwise they are just a prey that looks both harmless and slow: free lunch.

#4  Sorry, but the animals are wild. This is not some Peta-approved petting zoo.

#3  Just a dumb kid. Very, very sad.

I suspect the investigation lasted perhaps 10 or 15 minutes. In the good and bad of game parks, this is the bad.
