Not getting out after the first attack was pure madness from the school of "make sure they know you are in charge" mentality.
I met a guy with a zoo a few weeks ago who has a couple of lions and saw one of those pussy cats up close. One pat with a handful of 1 1/2 razor sharp claws from a 400lb lion sure would make you know who is in charge pretty quick.
Last weekend I also had to go to a safari park and 8 lioness got the better of two land rovers so they could get down to the enclosure to meet the new boy lion who has been drafted in. I went from being pretty cool to being actually quite worried when they started lurking around the car and realising if they wanted to get in they could, LOL.
guess what direction the lion is in, LOL
