for thinking, way to go lions?!

[Bobbisox]

I have never thought of you as a bad person R1 Geezer ;-0)

[Ankou]

it seems most of the posts on that link agree with you r1 !

i wonder what will happen to the lions though.

[askyourgran]

No you are not a bad person R1. I honestly think they should stop all circuses from using animals, it isn't natural.

[spitthedog]

Lions in captivity is absolutely disgraceful and this footage just goes to show what could happen. I'm glad that knowone got hurt as it appears, but a lesson learned i hope.

Unfortunatly, this will still go on around the world but it should be banned now IMO

Well done lions!!

I feel sorry for the lions and the audience. People working with dangerous animals should know that they are in the line of attack at all times. I did think it quite funny to see the other big male lions sitting on his wee podium with his back to the carnage, just peeking round to take a wee look from time to time.lol.Surely it isnt wise to have so many Male Adult lions in the one place at the same time. That would not be the order of things if they were in the wild, or am I wrong..

[ludwig]

Yes you are. British people should never use the phrase 'way to go'.

[mazie]

I'm suprised that the rest of the lions didnt join in the attack!

[ummmm]

I don't think you're a bad person R1. I do think you have anger issues though :-)

I can understand in years gone by, pre television and cheap travel, why people would want to go to the circus to see wild animals because there was no other way of seeing them in the flesh. However, in this modern age there is no reason to keep these magnificent beasts in the way that they do.

"Mr Pinko" is a bit of a camp name for a lion tamer.

Geezer thinks all Pinkos should be eaten by lions, JJ

As someone who has been attacked savagely by the lion's domestic cousin I should have sympathy for the guy.

But - nah!

Big cats have no place in a circus - they should be out prowling their territory and doing 'lion stuff'. They should be enjoying themselves as much as possible before us humans destroy the planet.
