I guess by now everyone is aware that a 22 year old lady from the U S A was killed by a lioness in a park in South Africa today. The public refuses to accept that wild animals are called wild for a good reason. How many children lose fingers to chimps?
When I worked at the Lion Country, in Grand Prairie, Texas, in '76, we had streams of cars roll along with the windows down in the lion sections. All warnings were scoffed at. Didn't we know the lions were tame? That we wouldn't have them unless they were? We never had a fatality in my time there, in spite of no end of idiots refusing safety. The worst stupidity I've seen around lions was the employee at the LC in West Palm Beach, who left his jeep, with bars reinforcing the windows, left his shotgun inside, and walked within 6 feet of a pride of 9 lions, picking up bones from their feeds. He sneered at my rather intense warning, as did his fellow yokels when I reported this in the office. Because, after all, he had been there all summer and knew what he was doing.

You sure these 3 are from Chic? I sent you the same 3.
Yup Dave not from me as I sent 2 others
Likely they came to him at the same time
It's no big deal but I did want to list it in my resume.
Where is this?
I forget if I ever knew; just found it on the net. Sawry.
I had to laugh seeing how valuable the middle part of the truck bed became.
After blowing up the photo I see there are steel railings to keep the folks in the center.
Bet the AR people like this concept!
