The injuries consistent with mauling and/or biting were after her death.
The lion was put into a smaller cage while she cleaned (a dutiful women) the bigger enclosure, not the lions fault the smaller cage wasn't shut properley.
It was what lions have always done and will continue to do, they kill shit.
In answer to my question, no, it shouldn't have been shot.
On the other hand the people that shot the lion should be shot, or more appropriately, "thrown to the lions".
On a side note - has anyone seen the latest video (in work so can't find it) going round where a South African gameskeeper has been accepted into a pack of lions? Not sure how recent it is but it's brilliant, shows him play fighting with the dominant lion of the group and rolling round on the floor with it, yet as soon as one of the other males tries joining in it is chased off. The guy clearly states "there is always a high chance I could be killed at anytime, if I was killed and had the chance to come back I'd do it all again".
EDIT - I prefer most animals to humans, people are generally cunts.

Is it the same guy who was accepted into a family of wild turkeys? It was a really good documentary that one, honestly.Mikecini said:Timmmmahhhh said:Apparently one swipe of his paw broke her neck and that was what killed her?

You can't be shot dead for doing what comes natural to you, whereas you can be expected to be mauled to death if you do what shouldn't come natural to you - walking into a lions cage.

You can walk up to a wild kangaroo and feed it grass, they probably have the same intelligence as a hamster so I wouldn't class it quite the same as a lion.
But if she hadn't been there in the first place...pominoz said:Pigeonho said:Tranquilize it.

Sorry Pige, but how long would that take to have an effect?
If there was a chance that she was still alive and could be saved, fuck the the lion. Every minute counts in these situations.
He has a lion cub licking and playing with a Hyena pup, (are they pups or cubs?) - fucking about with the order of things!Timmmmahhhh said:Pigeonho said:This ****

I can't see the video in work but the thumbnail looks like it could be him.
