New Zealand - Zoo-keeper mauled by Lions !

Postby Shazzam » Thu Jan 12, 2006 5:40 am

Yesterday a lion keeper at Wellington Zoo in New Zealand was attacked by two large lions. At first when I watched the footage on television I was horrified, as the reporter was saying that basically the were playing with him. Then I realised that if they had wanted to they could have killed him very quickly.

I have attached a web-link, there may be some footage of the event as it was filmed by a visitor at the zoo.

There is no footage of the attack! MSN probably took it down. Americans version news is quite tame compared too what is shown on Australian news!!!!

That is terrible! :( The zoo keeper in New Zealand was very lucky he escaped with only a few injuries. It could have been ALOT worse.
