Lion bites off zookeeper's arm at Busch Tampa

That is exactly right. Whenever you see a "when Animal's Attack" story, "we" are never on there.

Actually if you go to CNN.com they have video of the aftermath of the incident....

I didn't download, nothing in me is not quite that morbid.

c'mon man (or woman). I'm sure that lion was just begging for some nice human meat, ya know? Acualy, I would think that she was maby finishing giving it something to eat, but the lion thought on the contrary. It looked to the lion as if some more food was coming his way, and decided to grab for it (man, would that suck). And the doctors dont know if they can put it back on! HA, where do we get these guys. If I was that lady (which i'm not, thank god), I would want the doctors to know pretty damn fast if they could put it back on or not (dose your medical insurance cover missing limbs?). Anyway, I wish the woman health. Thats all I have to say.

Tyler... don't sensationalize the issue. Lions don't consider humans prey.

im sure what they meant with "the zoo is unsure what they will do with the animal" is that they will either relocate the animal, or bump up its security.

and btw, heres the story on another news site and it has a video...

I think that, that's horrible. But I'm not sure if the lion should be put to sleep. I mean it's not like the lion knows the law or anything. (no pun intended)

That is very cool. I was really upset to find out that they couldnt do anything to reattach that young lady's arm. I cant even imagine the horror that that poor girl and her family went through. That had to be terrible

I think we should keep in mind that the lion was seeing strange people back stage that it had never seen before. The lion could have felt that the strangers were intruding on its territory. I highly doubt that the lion developed a "taste for human blood".

i dont know about bgt but at busch gardens williamsburg, only employees are allowed backstage. what was her boyfriend doing back there in the first place?
