What a waste of a pair of beautiful lions.
If a mentally ill person does something like this... protect the endangered species.

I don't fault the zoo. They did what they had to do. If you were a "zoo gaurd" you'd have done the same thing. You'd have had to. It was a human life. I agree that dude should have found another way though. Those lions didn't decide they wanted their lives ended that day - old boy made that decision for himself & for them.
