Would you trust the glass?

BBC News - US toddler unfazed by hungry lioness

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Fook no!

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Not with the lion acting like that no..

 

[oldalbiongirl]

amazing

 

[beorhthelm]

thats was my thought, if it was my kid i wouldnt have had them there more than a second

 

[mistahclarke]

thats was my thought, if it was my kid i wouldnt have had them there more than a second

or dressed him like a Zebra

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

if it was my kid i wouldnt have had them there more than a second

Why? There was a piece of glass between the animal and the child.

 

[cloud]

or dressed him like a Zebra

Or sat there and video'd the whole thing

 

[Stat Brother]

It'll be ok.


If the glass broke, I'd like to think I could out run a toddler.

Why? There was a piece of glass between the animal and the child.

which begs the question, would you trust the glass?

i did laugh though, when the kid does see the lion really doesnt give a crap even teasing by patting the window back.

 

[Fungus]

The kid doesn't seem any more worried than if it was a lion on the TV.

Did make me laugh to see a big tough lion doing the same scratching actions on the glass that my pussy cat does at the patio door when he wants to get in.

And yes, I would trust the glass. Are you suggesting it was designed by the people doing the ESU upgrades?

Considering Lions can go without eating for a weeks on end, one must wonder why it was so ravenous? They are intelligent creatures. It surely would have realised that the baby was not going to be a meal after the first few swipes.

you're talking about an animal which would kill the cubs of a rival if given the oppportunity.

Was that a cub of a rival?

 

[Perkino]

I'd be a little fearful if that was my child

 

[darters74]

Was that a cub of a rival?

I think the baby/toddler is a bit too young for the cubs, although if it had have been me sitting there, I would have produced a brownie!

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

dunno why your all so worried about the kid. a child that size could have killed the lion if it was to get stuck in its throat

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I work for a big window manufacturer and there's no chance at all of it damaging the window. That glazing could withstand forces far beyond what the Lion could exert.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

That's if it it glazing and not some super strengthened type of plastic.

You don't have to go to America to do this. I experienced the piece of glass barrier at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent a few years ago. Memorable.
