Lion Kills Man Who Climbed Into Cage at Ukrainian Zoo
Monday , June 05, 2006

KIEV, Ukraine — A lion killed a man who climbed into its enclosure in the Ukrainian capital's zoo, police said Monday.

The lion attacked the 45-year-old Ukrainian late Sunday after he used a rope to climb down into an enclosure with four lions, said Kiev police spokesman Volodymyr Polishchuk.

He said the man, who was not identified, was acting aggressively and the lion seized him by the throat. The man, an ethnic Azerbaijani, died at the scene.

Ukrainian TV channel NTN broadcast interviews with witnesses who said the man told them that he wanted to test God, believing that God would not allow the lions to hurt him. :nono

Zoo officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

This is just horrible... but doesn't the Bible tell us NOT to test God? What was he thinking?? :doh

Sounds like he was trying to be Daniel in the lion's den. :freaked

Well, I hope he was a Christian and believed in Jesus.

Big difference between climbing into a zoo's lion pen, and being forcefully thrown into a lions' den on account of refusing to pray to a false god.

Besides that, God offers no guarentees of fleshly safety and security. A whole lot of Roman colloseum-era Christians could have warned this guy about lions.
