And now the rest of the story:

She told her father she was frustrated that Cat Haven did not allow direct contact with animals.

"She was disappointed because she said they wouldn't let her into the cages with the lion and tiger there," said Paul Hanson, a Seattle-area attorney.

The only thing I can think is thank goodness she died pretty quickly via a broken neck. I can’t even imagine being mauled by something that big. For whatever reason, many in our society have put “nice” attributes to wild animals. A lion is not cuddly.. it is a wild animal that will kill you.

I guess people forget that the big cats are way, way much different from the little domestic house cats.

Why was the woman in a cage and why was a lion near the cage to begin with?

She died doing what she loves, he said.

Every time I see someone say that I cringe. I'm guessing that her last thoughts were NOT "WOW! It's really great that I'm getting killed by a lion."

"The gate of the cage was partially open, which allowed the lion called Cous Cous to lift it up with his paw,"

Sounds like human error on her part that led to two avoidable deaths - her own and the lion's.

I’m reminded of the lion scene from “Steelyard Blues”.

Normally, the big cat would sail away with you in a life boat, and you’d land on an island populated with lots of easy prey for the cat. That’s what the movies taught me.

“Her father, Paul Hanson, described his daughter as a “fearless” lover of big cats and said her goal was to work with the animals at an accredited zoo. She died doing what she loves, he said.”

Funny, the lion also died doing what he loved best, eating liberal twits that get in his cage.

Hmmmm...

Put the 1/4 ton tom cat in his “feeding” cage... I’m sure being in that place evokes a visceral response from his little kitty brain...

Now, go in with your pooper scooper and cell phone... to be his personal poopy-picker-upper... chatting and yapping on your cell phone...

He looks out from his “feeding” cage (thinking of food)... as he hears some chatty yapping... “did you see animal planet last night ?”... it was just like the “lion king”... yeh, I don’t lock his feeding cage. That’s cruel, locking them up. He loves me, he’s always sniffing me, panting and drooling... he’s a sweetie...

LION’s MIND: what’s that two-legged antelope doing in my house... that friggin’ antelope... why can’t it leave my s**t alone... man I’m hungry... I’m always hungry... like Norm always wants a beer... stupid antelope never locks this gate... that’s it, I want some live meat.

I remember Rush saying, years ago, that wild animals wake up in the morning with only two thoughts in their little pea brain: Kill something, and eat it.

I probably shouldn’t write this, but here goes...I think this intern was nutty and believed animals are not really any different than humans. I suspect she herself opened the lion’s cage or at least got closer to it than she had been told she should.

If the liberal idiot would have been carrying a semi-automatic 45 she would be alive today.

A lion got her for being and idiot 2x , for wanting to play with lions and for not carrying a gun. At least she died quickly , a rapist might have gotten her and did to her what one did to Hope Melton. 300,000 women get raped per year in the U.S. , 2.5 million home invasions per year in the U.S.A but the liberal news media ignore those stats.

I carry a gun and I'm a southern male but anything be it a bear , lion or thug that comes at me the wrong way gets the lead.

I’m sorry for this young lady but this is typical stupidity of “save the animals” liberals. My lib sister in law believes that small town America should be bull dozed and “given back to the animals”.

Yesterday the lion was said to weigh 350 lbs.-—more of an adolescent-—and today the number is 550, closer to the full weight of an adult male lion. Sloppy reporting....

The Timmy Treadwell story was different - that guy was truly cuckoo for cocoa puffs and what happened to him - well it was only a matter of time before it did.

This case seems just a bit different to me. She was doing her job - cleaning the lion enclosure and the proper checks and safety measures, for one reason or another, were not followed. Doesn’t even have to mean that she was the one that neglected those checks. And it certainly doesn’t mean that she wanted to be eaten, or that she didn’t realize that lions are dangerous creatures, etc. etc.

This case seems to fit the template of libtard believing in the Disney version of the animal kingdom - but it may not, in fact do so.

Of course the badly written articles and post mortem statements don’t help any - like “police still investigating why a lion ate the woman”. Of course statements and articles like that are idiotic.
