A man was attacked and injured after jumping into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo and trying to convert the lions to Christianity.
The 46-year-old man leaped into the den of African lions and shouted "Jesus will save you," according to the report. He also said, "Come bite me" before one of the male lions attacked and bit the man.

I heard this reported on a Christian radio station today. The newsreader concluded the report with "He has been taken to (blah blah) hospital and is being treated by various doctors." Sad story but that was a funny line.

This story reminded me of a joke I heard some years ago:
A man was taking a short cut through a dangerous part the forest when suddenly he was confronted by a ferocious lion that had stopped on the trail several feet ahead of him.
In fear, the man slowly clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed, "Lord, please make this lion a Christian. Amen."
As the man opened his eyes, he watched as the lion sat back on its hindlegs, clasp his front paws together and prayed, saying, "Lord, I thank You for this meal that I'm about to eat..."

Animals hear things diferent than humans. Possible the lion translated the word, 'save' to 'shave.'
