This would actually be my worst nightmare

it sounds like a good story..... until you know the details.

If the lions had evolved to do car jackings, now that would be news.

If being easily rescued from a marginally dangerous situation is op's worst nightmare, then op doesn't have much of an imagination!

I saw the word 'dailymail' in the link so I stopped reading there.
This means I don't know it's about a mother & two kids being taken out of a lion enclosure and then the car caught fire afterwards because I didn't read past the link because I'm so badass against The Daily Mail.
Can we have a Facebook link so I don't read twice?

They would have probably been in more danger if this had happened on the hard shoulder of a motorway than a safari park full of rangers nearby.

Would have been much more interesting if the lions were sat on the car trying to eat the kids.

Or if they just ate the kids while being flimed which was later uploaded to ********.

Indeed, this is a story all right, but it's no less dangerous then crossing a road with drivers today. :/

but it is lions.

(Who have been fed that day and even if they had been near to the mum & kids probably wouldn't have been interested)

Doesn't matter if Lions were fed, the hunting instinct takes over when they see an opportunity

SexyGreyFox · 20 Apr 2014 at 13:32

Go and watch film of the Masai tribe, they will walk straight through a pack of lions when they are fed.
Lions only kill to eat, if they didn't there would be dead animals all around them and they would be wasting food.
Get some David Attenborough down your neck.

I think there is a difference between what happens in the wild and zoos. Seems to me that when crazy people jump into the big cat enclosure they get mauled to death. Plenty of news reports on this. However, in this case it appears the lions were a significant distance away and chilling.

They get killed because they provoke the Lions.

This is because when somebody jumps into a cage they think they can stroke the lions like a big pussy cat which the lions will find threatening.
Like I said, get some David Attenborough down your neck.

I'm with you, man. If I were there, I probably would have, in the first instance, taken a wizz on the little car fire and then pulled the steaks out of my trousers (which I keep in case an event such as this may occur). Steaks in hand, and mouth, I'd then have run at the lions with a total "You want this?" attitude, then punched the living daylights out of the mother******s when they tried to get them.

I also keep several jars of honey in my rectum in case I'm ever forced to encounter bears.

RAR!! Just like G-Man I would not be bothered by this situation. Whats the worst that can happen? Hell they are just oversize pussy cats.

Where's the badass gif when you need it.

Not quite sure where I've said I'm "hard" or a "badass", just that I don't give a **** about most situations, hence why I seem to get injured a lot. Make of that what you will. :confused:

The last thing we need is another elderly presenter getting ensnared by Operation Yewtree.

Now this would have been a s story if the lions had set the vehicle on fire.

Am I the only one that wouldn't be scared?

Nope I wouldn't be afraid either, because I know if I stay close enough to the fire, the lions wont approach the area.

OhEsEcks · 21 Apr 2014 at 16:27

I would totally punch a lion in the face. I hate cats.

Is this like a BBQ for Lions ?

You told you that?? There been countless instances of zoo keepers and Circus performers being stalked and attacked when in big cat enclosures, weather they were fed or not. lol

It's different. Circus performers punish the animals and treat them unfairly. But also zoo keepers are the keepers of food if they don't bring food they don't like that.
