BRUSSELS, Belgium -- An animal lover was mauled to death by cheetahs after entering their cage at a zoo in northern Belgium, authorities and zoo officials said Monday.
Karen Aerts, 37, of Antwerp, was found dead in the cage, Olmense Zoo spokesman Jan Libot said. Police said they ruled out any foul play.
Authorities believe Aerts, a regular visitor to the zoo, hid in the park late Sunday until it closed and managed to find the keys to the cheetah cage.
"Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust,"

"Karen loved animals."
And the cheetahs loved Karen--especially with a little chianti

I hadn't realized that cheetahs were that dangerous. Indian princes used to keep them as pets and hunt game with them.
On the other hand, I'm not stupid enough to climb into a cage full of them either. Even ordinary dogs can be dangerous if caged.

Some people climb into animal cages, others don diapers and drive cross-country ... it's a mixed up muddled up shook up world ...

Police said they ruled out any foul play. Of course! These were cheetahs, not chickens!

One of the cats that killed Aerts was named Bongo, whom the woman had adopted under a special program. She paid for Bongo's food. . . . I'll say!
