VANCOUVER - A woman who was mauled to death by a lioness in South Africa was a Vancouver-based visual effects editor on a volunteer mission to protect wildlife, her family says.

Kate Chappell, 29, was a "brilliant, kind, adventurous and high-spirited" woman, according to a post on her sister Jen's Facebook page.

"Her energy and passion could not be contained by mere continents or oceans. She was very much loved and shared her love for life with those she met," the post read.

Chappell worked on blockbusters including "Godzilla," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Divergent," and contributed to a 2014 "Game of Thrones" episode that won an Emmy, according to her profile on Internet Movie Database.

She grew up in the New York suburbs and spent the past year in Vancouver working for a special effects company, her mother Mary told The Journal News.

Her profile said she had worked for Scanline VFX, a company with offices in Vancouver and L.A.

I can’t think of a more horrific death sequence. I’m shocked by the lack of sympathy. Maybe the safari lead has majoity responsibility for not enforcing the rules.

“It’s okay. It’s a lionESS. We’re sisters.”

“Uh, miss, that may be true, but to her, you’re dinner, too.”

[Veto!]

So brilliant she couldn’t distinguish real life from images she could edit. Moron, and there are probably millions more just like her.

Remember the man who loved grizzlies and they ate him.

Timothy Treadwell. Now known as "Lunch."

"A park official told AP the woman was taking pictures through an open window, even though visitors are ordered to keep windows closed, when the lioness lunged."

Some rules are written in blood.

Oh, weep for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan!
He was eaten by a lion;
Following which, the lion’s lioness
Up and swallowed Bryan’s Bryaness.

It's an unfortunate fact that Socialists hate you.
They hate you for not hating them.
They hate you for being a Christian.
They hate you for owning anything they don't.
They hate you for being brighter than they are.
They hate you for being alive.

Some of us are willing to reciprocate that hatred.

A stupid Socialist airhead that had some Disney-esque idea of animal behavior, despite the 4+ years of overpaid liberal education, gets killed by a predator. No great loss. You can bet your Sweet Fanny Adams that they would find it vastly amusing if it were to happen to you...

I think her parents should get a refund from the college she attended.

I hope that the Grizzly did not get indigestion.

I don’t know. However, he did eat the girl friend. The girl friend was heard screaming “he took off my arm.” Apparently a tape recorder was running and recorded the entire ‘love fest.’ The Rangers have never released all of the tape.

“Lunch” aka the “Piece De Resistance.” Apparently the girl friend was dessert.

It looks like they were death lovers and she finally got her wish fulfilled.

She apparently didn’t love life enough to keep her window up. Simple things will keep you safe.

That's not fair, he did a lot of incredible work. Okay, yeah, granted, in the end he got et. But before that he proved dozens of times, for years, that grizzlies have a communication code of dominance and obedience, and if it's followed they'll let people near them safely. If he was taken seriously, his research could help save lives. Instead all anyone talks about us when he screwed up. Hey, it was dangerous work in an unknown field. When test pilots die, no one says their work was worthless. /rant

We were in Kenya last fall on a “safari” in one of the big game parks.We came upon a small group of lions just laying there being lazy.As the van got closer a couple of people expressed fear...and a couple of us *didn't* express it.But the guide told us not to worry because “they've just eaten”.
