Don't dress your kid like a zebra if you plan to be around lions.

I feel the lion's frustration.

I bet that lioness has never seen a zebra in its life or had to hunt for its food.

Almost a pit the glass didn't crack  ;D

A kid called Albert  was actually eaten.

Aww, I LOVE that!

Many happy memories of my great-grandmother reciting that to us as kids (from memory!) ...though being made to recite the lords-prayer in return wasn't so fun!

I'm gonna print that off and see if mine enjoy it...

Thanks for the smiles!

This made me genuinely laugh out loud!

I keep thinking this video is hilarious, then I get a little bit of parent guilt for laughing at the peril of the kid, then I go back to being a guy and laughing my ass off!

Nah, I'm sure that plexiglass has been thoroughly tested. And it's not like the kid was upset. The only one who was suffering was the lion.  :D 
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Think about the poor Lion. Its probable going to need years and years of therapy for its new inferiority complex and its Plexiglas phobia. I shudder to think what this trauma will do to the cat.
It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche

I agree. I think the Lion is the victim here :)

If I said that big cat wasn't hungry, I'd be lion!

Cute video! The kid was like, 'ooooooo...' just watching it try to maul him to bits.  :D just totally oblivious, so awesome. I bet the little guy thought the lion was trying to play with him, or something.

One time I actually got inside the Orangutan park at the San Antonio Zoo. I was about eighteen, and a bit tipsy.
