A 22-year-old newly-hired employee was attacked and killed by a lion after it escaped a locked space at a North Carolina animal center on Sunday, officials said.
A "husbandry team, led by a professionally trained animal keeper, was carrying out a routine enclosure cleaning" at the Conservators Center in Burlington when a lion left the locked space, went into the area where the humans were and killed Alexandra Black, the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Black, 22, from New Palestine, Indiana, had recently graduated from Indiana State University and had worked at the Conservator Center for about two weeks, the sheriff's office said. She was also a college intern, the sheriff's office added.

no doubt. all those things are best left alone, as is the lion she is petting.
Cancel “and kill yourself”. Much to harsh a statement. I instead just “give yourself a fire hose enema” thanks.
ABC News is now a chat source....

Who said that?

She probably didn’t believe in walls anyway ...
Dreadful. RIP.
You're about an ANGRY little wankstain, aren't you?
The procedures ARE in place in zoos, etc.
Getting people to USE those procedures is another thing altogether.
Agreed. They sure seem to. The bigger the cat the less trust I have for them
PETA types, the ones who tend toward those kind of conservation careers, aren't real big on personal grooming. Too "corporate" for their taste.
Perhaps the lion, after turning the keeper into food, was fussy. You know, sort of like a 4 year old. One taste, the lion version of "EEUW!" and the lion strolled away...
Sharks don't find people very tasty, either. One bite, thinking it's a different flavor of seal, and they ignore it...
