A lion attacked and killed an American tourist in a South African wild animal park whose website promises that you can get "super up-close animal views ... and still be completely safe."

According to the AP, Scott Simpson, the assistant operations manager at the park, said the victims "had their windows all the way down, which is strictly against policy. ... The lion bit the lady through the window."

The driver reportedly tried to beat the lion off the woman and suffered injuries.

News24.com quoted Simpson as saying the woman ignored several signs and verbal warnings to keep vehicles windows and doors closed for safety reasons. Simpson was also quoted as saying the lioness who attacked would not be euthanized, but might be relocated to an area away from public view.



Yeah, let's euthanize a big cat because some idiot thought it'd be a good idea to be close enough to pet a lion.

I think you've forgotten that we don't negotiate with terrorists.

it's the fourth attack at the same park in the last few months the idiots that go are told to not leave the windows down or get out the car but some just don't get it....in my opinion it's just natural selection at work

went on a nature tour and nature did what it does best, eliminated a weak gene from the pool. Sounds like everything went as it should.

If this was in the US, I'm sure we could expect a couple lawsuits and the prompt action to euthanize the animal.

I think the driver works at the park, no? Couldn't he just lock the doors?
