I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.

I've just been reading about this too. I just hope no one gets hurt and they don't shoot the lion - that would be very sad. How the **** could it escape - someones head is gonna roll for that!

Incompetence is one of mans most common traits....

I share your feelings on hoping for a happy ending though.

I hope they don't shoot it, because it's only been in recent years that I've accepted that this situation was fictional:

How the hell do they not knwo where it came from?!

If no Zoo has realised it's got a lion misisng then it must be a private owner.

Yeah, it was the red nose, pointy hat and oversized shoes that gave it away!

Police in Essex are investigating reports that a lion has been spotted in a field near St Osyth.

Police - who have told residents to enjoy the bank holiday but "be cautious" - are looking for signs after the sighting off Earls Hall Drive.

Essex police are working with experts from Colchester Zoo who believe the reports to be genuine after being shown a photograph by a member of the public.
