Sad
Safety should be such that a man wouldn't be in contact with a lion at all times

Apparently a fatal mistake was made. When feeding them he forgot to close the gate that separated him from the lion. He took care of the lion since birth so it was a surprise for everyone. Let this be a life lesson. A predator that is used to hunt in the wild cannot be tamed by humans. It will always follow it’s natural instincts. May the zookeeper rest in peace.

This is quite sad. May his soul rest in peace. People working in zoos should be careful.

Investigate what??
The 9 years lion was starved and humans are serenading it with their juicy flesh claiming to be caretakers.
May his soul rest in peace

Very unfortunate but how do you enter a death zone without a defensive weapon? When are we going to learn that you can never take the wild out of a wild animal?
