It disturbs me that man will kill an animal for being an animal. There was no good reason to euthanize this lion. He was doing what lions do.
In my view, we don't value the creatures we share this planet with. We cage them, feed them what
we consider to be an adequate diet, not really knowing if it is, and then wonder why they see us as a food source.
This lion was hungry. That's all. And we shot him for it.
Disgusting.

DUNLAP -- A 24-year-old woman who volunteered at Project Survival's Cat Haven in the foothills east of Fresno was killed Wednesday when she was attacked by a 4-year-old male African lion in its enclosure.
A co-worker tried in vain to draw the lion away from the woman and into another enclosure. An arriving Fresno County sheriff's deputy, seeing the lion would not let anyone provide medical aid to the woman, shot and killed the animal.
The woman, who was described as an intern, was badly mauled and died at the scene.
