Lion Jumps Through Tourist’s Car Window, Mauls Her To Death Because That’s What Lions Do
An American tourist died in South Africa this week after a lion jumped through her car window and mauled her to death during a drive-thru safari.
According to an operations manager at the safari park, a man and woman were riding through the safari with their windows completely down, which is a violation of the rules and, more obviously, a violation of basic common sense.
From The Guardian:
“We had a gentleman and a lady driving with the windows wide open. The lion came through the passenger side window and attacked her. The man sustained slight injuries trying to fight her off.
Visitors to the park are given numerous warnings not to leave their windows open, Simpson said. “We make it so clear. We put signage up everywhere that people must keep their windows closed. We hand them a slip of paper when they enter the park; I really don’t understand why people think its OK to leave windows open.
While it is abundantly clear why passengers of a species that has captured and held prisoner a group of aggressive lions should keep their car windows closed at all times in a fucking drive-thru safari, there is also this horrifying video that exists to remind you to lock your doors.
According to the safari park, animal attacks aren’t particularly uncommon these days.
This is the third attack at the park in the past four months, according to eNCA. An Australian man was bitten by a lion in March after he left his window open and later posted images of the incident on Facebook. A 13-year-old who cut through the park while riding his bike was attacked by a cheetah a few days later.
Maybe the answer is to just give lions some space..

10 years ago at 8:46 pmI fucking love Sharkweek. His comments are one of the few reasons why I still even look at the comment section, right behind people making fun of Dorn for his obsession with underage boys.

10 years ago at 10:53 pmA kid can get into the park on his bicycle? Sounds pretty safe.
10 years ago at 3:17 pmPlus how long does it take this kid to cut through the park? He got attacked a few days later. Or was it he cut through the park then on a seperate note was randomly attacked by a cheetah?

10 years ago at 3:31 pmHello fellow TFM members, I have a serious question that is better suited for a forum, but since the interns mother birthed a sorry excuse of a boy, we don’t have one. So my question, my economics professor is having us write a comprehensive essay on an economic topic and the better the essay, the more money we get for our fake stock market project. I received the laffer curve, and while I understand what it states and it’s functions, does the thing work? And if it does work, what if the magic comprise between tax and tax revenue is over let’s say 65%, wouldn’t that be counterintuitive to the whole point of it, how tax breaks hypothetically pay for themselves? If anyone could answer I would be very thankful, and once again, fuck you intern.

10 years ago at 3:54 pmThis isn’t Yahoo Answers buddy, fuck off
10 years ago at 4:01 pmStocks and tax revenue to me is just like a story i know called the puppy who lost his way. The world was changing, and the puppy was getting bigger…So you see, the puppy was like tax revenue, in that they were both lost in the woods and nobody, especially the little boy, “society”, knew where to find them. Except that the puppy was a dog, but the stocks my friend, that was a revolution.

10 years ago at 3:42 pmSounds like the cheetah held a grudge, stalked him for a few days, and laid down the can of whoop ass.
