I watched the video and was waiting to see the cat attack. It didn't happen and then I scrolled down. Big mistake.
Only if you eat their heart as it is still beating.

That lion showed some restraint. They don't kill the animals when things like this happen do they?
I think they do, even if not at fault. Something about getting the taste for human blood. At least that's how they do things in America as far as I know.
Are you sure Kevin Sorbo didn't try to attack the lion?
I'll count you as the Khaleesi of the Goathraki from now on.

They do for wild animals, but the caged exotics are worth too much money.

Idiot woman is lucky the lion only got her finger.
Get out with this bs. He was not clever, but he's still just a kid. The only one to blame for this is the father.

Wait so let me get this straight. This idiot asks to pet the lion. Staff says no you moron. Idiot then proceeds to pet the lion anyway. Do I have this right? If so then next time can they just let her walk into the cage?
In my life I made slingshots and killed birds with them. Wrestled a goat, tied it to a tree, and slaughtered it for eating, slaughtered a pig, and help to kill a wild crocodile for eating.

Here's the woman who got injured by the lion.
With that little scratch she looks now even more ridiculous because of that 11 year old boy ...who didn't sue.
They should check if she's capable of raising her child though. Not exactly role model material "yes kids, it's ok to touch lions in the zoo. But make sure to ask first and then ignore the staff"
That's nasty! Just ripped his arm to shreds.
Stupid woman - There should be a common sense clause to stop people suing. Maybe, the zoo can get out of it, if they have signs saying 'Don't feed the animals'

If I'm the zoo's director I'm looking into why this was possible in an area with dangerous animals. "Secured" doesn't mean "put up a sign saying 'hey, you. Yeah you better not come past this sign.'"
Not that I'm rooting for the woman to win her case, but dang does that zoo need a review of its security protocols if any old yahoo can get within arm's distance of a lion.
But it's not. And a mentally handicapped person would have to have someone with him/her.
It's not the zoo's job to physically restrain you just so you don't pet a freakin lion.
It's the fact that this is a thing that a person can do that makes it a valid lawsuit. The zoo's responsibility is to not allow for this potential liability. And they failed in that responsibility.
If that area she went to is marked "staff only" or something they did all they have to do.
And I'm gonna assume that's the case.
So someone tripping on flat ground and breaking their arm at the zoo can sue the zoo?
Yeah somebody here altered it to make her look fat. Because all Americans are stupid and fat. Get it?
Yes. They can. They'll lose of course, because the zoo has no reasonable way of preventing tripping on flat ground.
The zoo does have reasonable ways of preventing the general public from gaining access to areas in which they can be harmed by the animals. A sign is not enough.
How about, hypothetically of course, a staff memeber were to tell a member of the general public "No, you can't pet this lion." That enough?
No, he just connected the two pictures from this

which already gave the illusion that she has a giant arm

Dawwwww. It's so friendly. Let's pet it.
Serves him right for dressing like a fucking zebra.
Oh I see, totally misinterpreted that. There is actually a video of her where she it sitting at a table with her daughter and she's slim so it appeared this was done to make her look fat. Anyway...
She also claims she was given permission to get close to the cage and that the zoo people told her it was ok. I'm sure she's lying but she didn't appear to me to be a completely clueless lady unless she was on drugs or something. Who knows.

both are equally stupid
woman is stupid for obvious reason
badly maintained shoddy zoo with crappy cages and crappy conditions for large animals are also stupid for allowing guests to approach the cage
I have no sympathy for random people who live in the country who get exotica animals to be paraded and caged

I hope they do overtly subtle shit with their fingers.
