Was it necessary to murder this magnificent animal because some brainless pillock entered his enclosure? Natural selection at work if you asked me. Why do we take out human mistakes on innocent animals? Fuming.

jno I saw this story earlier this week. I've actually seen the video of the chap walking into the lion enclosure. Thing is - just because you've raised a lion from a cub, doesn't mean that the lion has the cognitive reasoning to think, "Oh, that grey-haired bloke over there, he's a mate of mine...not dinner." No, the whole thing about wild animals is that they're...

Ridiculous that the animal should be killed. He was stupid because he should have known that any animal always has the potential to be dangerous, irrespective of any history they may have had.
I have a domestic moggy. It thinks I'm it's mother, but that doesn't stop it randomly biting my hand for no apparent reason every now and then. That's what animals do. If it was a lion I'd be dead by now - except I wouldn't, because I wouldn't be treating it like a pet and hanging around it as if it was my friend. I'd respect it enough to leave it the hell alone.

AOG: "has man no right to encroach on their territory and if he does and he is attacked shouldn't he kill his attacker? " - of course man has a right but he chooses to take on the risk, same as swimming with sharks do not be surprised if one eats you. In all fairness I accept they have to take precautions in the wild and if necessary they'll shoot an animal, I'd prefer it if they had tranquilizers but I understand. This case though is terrible because it's so unnecessary, the lion died for the vanity of this idiot. He thought he was a special case so went into the enclosure thinking he had some sort of immunity because he was regarded as being "no fool around lions" - then proceeded to demonstrate that he was a fool around lions.

// I think that it is because the Lion is a nice good looking noble creature, just like a big pussy cat, I wonder if people's sentiments would be the same if the attacking creature had been an alligator?//
Not at all. If you die trying to cuddle a captive crocodile, it's your fault. The croc should not be punished for doing what comes naturally to it.

Oh so you would just stand around and let the croc get on with it's meal, when you had the chance to take out the croc and save a human being from such a fate?

What a silly thing to say AOG.
What I am saying is that if someone climbed into a croc enclosure - let's assume no-one else including me is around - and they just find his mangled remains later, they should not say 'Let's kill that croc, he's dangerous'. What they should say is 'Look - someone has climbed into the croc enclosure and been mangled, what an idiot'.
