"Tastes like chicken, nyum nyum nyum"

A zookeeper was eaten alive by lions in front of horrified tourists, who watched as the big cats chewed through his flesh to the bone, according to reports and stomach-churning videos.
Veteran zookeeper Jian Rangkasamee, 59, was attacked early Wednesday when he stepped out of his jeep to clear trash off the floor of the animal’s open enclosure at Safari World In Bangkok in Thailand‘s capital, according to Viral Press.
Panicked visitors screamed as they helplessly watched the lions pin him down and tear at him with their teeth. The first lion “was about [30 feet] away, then slowly approached and grabbed the zookeeper from behind, dragging him to the ground and biting him,” said Professor Tavatchai Kanchanarin, a doctor at a leading hospital who witnessed the horrific attack.

They were hangry.
When had they last been fed?
Well yeah, plus, those lions were probably hungry again a half hour later.
That’s what I was wondering.
Did they ever feed them?

“ Don’t they have protocols for feeding the lions and cleaning their dens?
These are not house cats.”
My sister was a zookeeper for about 35 years. They always put the animals in an isolated place before entering into their enclosures. They did it with all of the animals, even ones that normal people would think weren’t capable of harming humans.
Reminds me of the movie ROAR.(1981)

Anything larger, and some of the smaller ones, will attack and eat you. Just the way they are.
I believe Ambrose Bierce wrote a short story about that.

“Don’t they have protocols for feeding the lions and cleaning their dens?”
Just like we have protocols for reading the articles before posting.
Lol!
Now who does that?
Yeah, I know. I confess to sometimes violating the rule and reading the story first.
“Jim, Who Ran Away from His Nurse, and Was Eaten by a Lion”
There was a Boy whose name was Jim;
His Friends were very good to him.
They gave him Tea, and Cakes, and Jam,
And slices of delicious Ham,
And Chocolate with pink inside,
And little Tricycles to ride,
And read him Stories through and through,
And even took him to the Zoo—
But there it was the dreadful Fate
Befell him, which I now relate.
You know—at least you ought to know.
For I have often told you so—
That Children never are allowed
To leave their Nurses in a Crowd;
Now this was Jim’s especial Foible,
He ran away when he was able,
And on this inauspicious day
He slipped his hand and ran away!
He hadn’t gone a yard when—Bang!
With open Jaws, a Lion sprang,
And hungrily began to eat
The Boy: beginning at his feet.
Now just imagine how it feels
When first your toes and then your heels,
And then by gradual degrees,
Your shins and ankles, calves and knees,
Are slowly eaten, bit by bit.
No wonder Jim detested it!
No wonder that he shouted “Hi!”
The Honest Keeper heard his cry,
Though very fat he almost ran
To help the little gentleman.
“Ponto!” he ordered as he came
(For Ponto was the Lion’s name),
“Ponto!” he cried, with angry Frown.
“Let go, Sir! Down, Sir! Put it down!”
The Lion made a sudden Stop,
He let the Dainty Morsel drop,
And slunk reluctant to his Cage,
Snarling with Disappointed Rage
But when he bent him over Jim,
The Honest Keeper’s eyes were dim.
The Lion having reached his Head,
The Miserable Boy was dead!
When Nurse informed his Parents, they
Were more Concerned than I can say:—
His Mother, as She dried her eyes,
Said, “Well—it gives me no surprise,
He would not do as he was told!”
His Father, who was self-controlled,
Bade all the children round attend
To James’ miserable end,
And always keep a-hold of Nurse
For fear of finding something worse.

Here we get mad at people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death and here in the next post you’re laughing at someone being killed and eaten by lions. Come on Freepers.
Thailand?
And these lions like Thai food...
too soon?
My question is, why would somebody stand by and film it all while it was happening?
That's Lion Foot Pad Thai.
I’m not the first but still too soon?
