Title: Angry Lions turned on Trainer
Post by: Sam (Fussy_Furball) on October 05, 2010, 13:17:11 PM

I think the lions were definitely having a bad day ..... and they seemed pretty determined to have this chap! Watch the video ... no injuries shown and no "nasties".

I don't feel any sympathy towards the trainer, I think circuses should be BANNED!  >:(

One day people will learn that they are dealing with wild. intelligent animals. Serves the 'trainer' right. Animals are treated appallingly in Eastern Europe, China etc. This was payback in some small way.

I have always hated the idea of circus animals and how  their treated and kept.
The lions should of had made a snack of him! But sadly they were denied it!

You don't have to go as far as Eastern Europe to see stuff like that.  :( OH was working at Eurodisney a couple of years ago and there were despressed and grubby looking circus lions sitting in their cramped little cages by the side of the road. It was so sad it made me cry.

I just showed my OH this video. I just feel so sorry for those beautiful creatures.
