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...
But the lion let go and backed off when a shot was fired and they got the brainless pillock out, so WHY later did they have to shoot the poor lion then ??? Absolutely fuming here ...
I think trying to second-guess the lion's motives for its attack is largely pointless.
Animals are unpredictable, there is no way of saying that they will 'never' attack, it's simply not possible, and this case obviously proves that simple fact.
For whatever reason, this man's assumption that he was safe proved unfounded, and an animal has had to die because of it.
