Tourist tries to pat Lion

[BigP]

We're talking about Indians here. They just stand around looking on gormlessly.

Fucken pussies, If it was a mate of mine I would have been in there to help him..

Even the dog had a go. I've been in a cage with a sun bear in Laos. It was a tourist attraction. Even they're rather small I didn't feel comfortable for both ethical and saftey reasons.

BTW ever seen a full sized grizzly? Fucking amazing!!!!

Havent seen a grizzly, but when passing through Alaska many years ago they had a polar bear mounted in a glass case and it was fucken enormous

And they are both pussies compared to the short faced bear, only extinct for 11000 years.

Apparently they stopped humans proliferating in Nth America until they were extinct

Most of the tour vehicles over there are not even closed in - open sided troup carriers. The lions could jump right in if they felt like it. Everyone seems fairly relaxed about it. I suspect the tour guides have decent guns handy. I was in the back of one by myself, being perfectly still as a lion approached to within about 2m of the side of the vehicle. I had an old film camera ready to go. When I took the photo, the slight movement of my finger caught the lions eye and it looked up. Great photo, but I nearly shat myself. The lion was completely disinterested.

Just having the window open is stupidity. A lion could get it's paw in and remove your face in a second.

yep

That sounds about right
