Lion Tackle

[BULLRYDER]

The two primary trainers were not paying attention to the lion's body language. This cat was showing signs of agitation and was fixated on the lady. Just watch the sequence of events before the final lunge. Fundamentally, lions stalk their prey. The lion does 1-2.5 head fakes before attacking.

While I'm sorry she got hurt, if you're gonna dance around like a wounded animal don't be surprised if the lion thinks you're dinner.

Well, I guess she's not such a great martial artist if she couldn't sense the lion attacking....aren't these people supposed to be able to "feel" these things coming?

A couple of points: 1) I think the "trainers" should be cited for animal cruelty for kicking him 2) I think all 4 should be charged with stupidity for playing with a wild animal. I mean, it lunged already at the cameraman how many times? Then this vapid wingnut goes gyrating around in front of it...wtf did she think was going to happen? Hell, I wiggle my toes while watching TV and my CAT pounces.....

Speaking of which: I always find it fascinating how you can see the same actions in any large cat that you do with house cats. For eg: when the lion is licking his hand and he goes to pull it away and the lion draws it back in with it's paws. My cat does the exact same thing.....

I mean seriously, IMO the only thing that "woman" didn't do to entice the lion to pounce is tie a bunch of 24" long lengths of knitting yarn all over her body first....lol......

They are all Felines ..... some larger and more dangerous than others but the "fundamentals" stay the same.

She should count her lucky stars that that Lion didn't feel threatened by her; because if he did she would be history... that cat simply just wanted to play. But when you "play" with a 600lb cat somethings gotta give

So what you're saying is the catnip-based body lotion was probably a bad idea?


A thought occurs to me, I wonder if vegetarians are more likely to be attacked than omnivores since they wouldn't smell like a predator.

Well, I have heard that when women have their period they shouldn't be doing anything near any wild animals...this goes for walks in the...ahem..bush as well.....

As for the vegetarians smelling like a predator. I'd say that since they herbivores are less dangerous to a predator than another predator, I'd say they are more likely to get attacked....

I mean seriously, that woman in the video, why didn't she hang some bells on her legs and arms as well? I mean, if you're going to taunt an animal TAUNT it, don't just be a pussy and tease it......
