it just seems like if you dont want your clients letting windows down and opening doors and getting attacked you go to extreme measures to prevent it

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


Ah yes, because no one can open a locked door from the inside.

Agreed, the park should do more. As a rule, tourists are going to do dumb stuff either out of excitement, inexperience, or wanting that perfect picture, etc.

but some of y'all carry on with the Darwin jokes after this woman was mauled to death.

I'm surprised stuff like this doesn't happen in US National Parks more often. Tourists are complete morons in places like Yellowstone and Great Smoky Mountains. People think bears and elk are some cuddly creatures that love taking selfies.

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


Which is why I'm glad it's not. She got what was coming to her and it's nobody's fault but her own.

The real tragedy in this situation is that there aren't actual lions in this country to thin the stupid herd like there is in Africa.

Cruise around prison in a pope-like plexiglass cage.

Yeah, or just put a grill on the windows like police cars have.



I'm guessing because idiot tourists would say that then blocks them taking shots with their camera.

Jesus man.

People aren't used to the harsh realities of nature. They are excited to see the animals and don't think clearly. Also those cats are used to the cars and know how to get to them. Be cool, that's somebodys mom or daughter.
