CHHAT, India — A man was killed by lions after scaling a 20-foot barrier at a zoo and jumping inside the lion enclosure, according to The Sun.

The incident happened at the Chhatbir Zoo in India.

Authorities saw the man climbing the barrier and tried to talk him into coming down, but he jumped inside the enclosure.

One of the lions saw the man falling in and immediately attacked. Another lion joined in the attack.

Rescue teams were not able to get to the man until the lions left him alone. He died from his injuries.

The lions involved in the attack are Asiatic lions. They are critically endangered and only about 500 exist in the wild.

Man climbs 20 foot wall to walk on lava.

Man climbs 20 foot wall to be killed by poisonous snakes.

Man climbs 20 foot wall to swim with piranhas.

Now replace "man" with "idiot" and you have a perfectly accurate descriptor.

Meanwhile, other zoo patrons were heard saying - Now THAT'S worth the price of admission! :dance:

:lol:


I bet the zoo workers who fed and cared for the lions were probably a little more cautious after seeing something like that.

I just hope the Lions are ok :wha:

They put down dogs after they taste human meat, I wonder what happens to zoo animals? They're too expensive to put down.

Plus these lions are super endangered.

Hey, is Kimba pregnant?

I don't think so. Maye we should ask Felipe.

Hmmmm, there's an idea for the southern border. Designate it a lion reserve.

[DemonGeminiX]

Build a moat wide enough that it can't be jumped over and fill it full of gators.

[RBP]

All options should be on the table.

Make it a condition to being admitted to the country as citizens automatically if they survive the mile long gauntlet starting at the border: climb the 30 foot wall, go through the lions' reserve, swim through the alligator infested moat, run through the minefield, survive the fields of angry bulls, evade the trigger happy soldiers... etc etc etc

You know why Mexico never wins in the Olympics?


...Anyone that can run, swim or jump is in the US.

Oh! We can video it and make a new reality TV show, the proceeds will pay for the immigration program!

Funny I was just reading a zoologist write about how the hardest part about zoo captivity isn't usually keeping the animals in, it's keeping stupid humans out. He told a story about throwing out a guy who tried to hop a fence into a giraffe enclosure to let the aggressive male in with the females 'because it looked lonely' :lol: People are dumb...
