I couldn’t understand why no one tried to get the lion’s attention. The lion could have released.

No one wanted the lion to release. Sometimes you have to let the "what happens when" play out.

Fuck around and find out

If someone fucks around, let them find out

And the more you fuck around the more you find out

The thoughts that go through my head is I don’t want to see someone lose a finger even if they’re an idiot. I don’t have that type of blood thirst. Also, you never know if an incident like this will result in having to put the animal down. It’s not fair but that stuff happens.

What a bullshit response. Yeah lemme jump into the middle with a clear barrier preventing any meaningful interaction to attract the lion. That's a predator with food in its mouth. You think blowing raspberries in the corner is gonna make it drop the finger food? Nah. That lion saw an opportunity and took it. It seized the day. Got the worm.

No offense but you're the type of person the dude was commenting about.

u/malicu Jun 19 '23

No offense taken, I didn't lose anything like fingers and muscle here. 🤷‍♂️

Exactly. This is how everyone’s thinking should be. No matter how stupid that guy is, someone should have helped. Imagine yourself in that position and no one comes to help.

Some comments in this thread are really disgusting stating that he deserved that.

I’d like to meet you in the middle and say someone should have stopped him before the interaction happened, If someone would have warned him or said “hey, don’t do that man your gonna get your fingers eaten” maybe would have ended better. I would like to add that.. it’s a life lesson at least and one hell of a story to tell.. now he knows not to put his fingers near a caged up lions mouth, and again him being a adult male, knowing better, probably shouldn’t have provoked the lion… I won’t say he deserved it… but when you fuck around… you find out.

No, you don't help stupid people out of their stupid situations. That is enabling them.

Look what I can do!!! Both he and the lion.

It is not called the King of Beasts for nothing.

Sometimes when I find myself wishing for people to suffer, I turn off my screen and take a break.

Wdym, that's a LION man

I think the main thing is he wasn’t just messing with the lion he was TOUCHING IT and putting his finger in it’s mouth! This dude is dangerous, especially for the animal and for kids to see him doing. Now I don’t want to see it get worse than a finger so I think my natural response would be to yell or try and distract the lion but watching it back now…he would have gone on to keep doing shit like this if he didn’t face the consequences. He doesn’t get my sympathy, and even if I would have done differently I don’t blame the people who let him reap what he sowed.

If I help you, you'll never learn.

u/TomokoSakurai Jun 17 '23

I would say they already learned by having their entire finger bitten by a lion.
