Hey, if I had been trapped in a little circle since the early 1930s, I'd be a little pissed, too.

Probably a Jewish lion.

I like how the male lion came over to help out.

I thought it was females that had no mane. Anyway, yeah I noticed that, it was like a bar fight, with the girlfriend coming over and saying "Leave it, he's not worth it!".

That's not an attack. Had it been a real attack both trainers would be dead.

Just think. For a few hundred bucks, you could be in cage with them getting even better footage.

So lions are predatory wild animals that might possibly be dangerous when caged?

The female was like, "Hey man, let it go. It's not worth it."

Kudos to the other trainer for trying to stop his coworker from getting mauled, but yeah... Darwin missed.

I feel bad for the lion. Imagine wanting to be free, but trapped in a little box.

PUT MGM AND THOSE RETARD TRAINERS IN A FARKING CAGE FOR 30 YEARS, THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY AND GET IN A CAGE WITH THEM.

MY CAPS LOCK IS HONESTLY BROKEN SO I'M YELLIIIIIING!

The Envoy

2010-09-09 08:16:37 AM

Point to note: These lions are not in that cage permanently. They live outside of the city on a ranch. Not as good as the wild, obviously, but better than a cage 24/7.

And on the ranch they spend most of their time at they are most likely kept in a small chain-link cage, probably even worse than the cage at the hotel.

Well, I know the MGM lion is Irish, but I guess there's no reason it can't be both.

the whole 'animals are made out of food' thing works both ways.

I had heard the buffet at the MGM was yummy.

LoneVVolf

2010-09-09 08:47:33 AM

I like how the lion stared at the trainer, licking his chops for a good 30 seconds before moving in. "I'm gonna bite you... but i haven't decided where yet".

They were seen cranking the lion's tail just before the incident.

I would not call it a ranch. It is a small, well fenced area, not far off of the south Las Vegas strip. I would call it a large cage, but it's still a cage. And it's a bad idea.

I love CNN comments.

LittleLily
The animals may only be in the Casino enclosure one day a week, but the rest of the time they are kept in a small enclosed area not far off of the south Las Vegas strip - in the heat of the desert. It's a bad idea, MGM.

Can someone do some deep digging and find out where Lions typically reside? Cool to warm temperatures, AMIRITE? THIS IS CRUELTY.

We humans are an arrogant species.... thinking we have the upper hand on all things nature. The assholes are lucky they weren't killed.

I guess they're assholes.

I'm in the "kitty was just playing" camp. My cat loves to lick me for a few minutes, then start biting a little... i think she just likes the taste.

same deal, but bigger cat this time.

TheHopeDiamond

2010-09-09 09:06:41 AM

I don't think that lion was trying that hard. C'mon, the other trainer shoved it away. If that lion had wanted the guy dead, he'd have been a smear on the floor.

The lion was showing him who the boss is. And it wasn't the trainer lol

Cats don't seem to have the greatest concept of 'Oh, you don't have fur, I shouldn't claw you'

It seemed like that guy was showing fear and the lion kind of honed in on his nervousness. You could tell by the look he gave the guy that he wanted to mess with him and knew the guy was afraid of him. That lion is a bully.

I think its kind of awesome how the female lion tries to help hold back the male lion. I love cats.

9 acres isn't that small compared to the MGM enclosure and 12 miles from the MGM Grand is plenty far IMO. Ok, it's not a Green Grass of Wyoming-style ranch, would "farm" be more appropriate? Anyway, that wasn't the point, the point is that they're not in that small glass enclosure 24/7.
