Lion kills tourist at South Africa game park


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A tourist believed to be from the US has been killed in a lion attack at a game park in South Africa, a park official has told the BBC.

The lioness jumped through the open window of the couple's car and started mauling the woman, assistant park manager Scott Simpson said.

Paramedics were called to the scene but she died from her injuries, while the man is still receiving treatment.

The park's rules forbid visitors from driving through the lion enclosure with their windows down,

Sorry, but you do not have to be a native to know this. Some people think they are immortal....unfortunately, this woman found out we are not. Sad case, but I just can not bring myself to show much sympathy.

I so hope they do not put the lion down!

I think it was a couple months ago, give or or take, that a lion had opened an UNLOCKED door as the tourist's drove through the park. And now I read that they don't know whether they should put this lion down or not because it jumped through an OPEN window. It is my opinion that this lion should be left alone. It was doing only what it does.. hunt and kill. It's not the lion's fault that these people have no common sense.
