    I know they told her too but its a lion for gods sake
    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

    Why didn't she put her head in the mouth?

      I was just thinking about that other animal handler that last year had her arm shredded by a lion, I believe at a zoo.

      Never trust a lion.

        which is so obvious you wouldn't have thought people would need to be reminded

            Well, she's lost an arm, but I see a big fat lawsuit and a million-dollar compensation claim in her future.

              I would think the Spanish legal system is more resistant to idiots than ours

                I feel bad for her. While it wasn't the brightest thing to do, the people at the zoo are responsible. If they told her it was perfectly ok to stick her arm in there, she probably assumed it was extremely well-trained. Now she's lost her arm.

                  I agree with Boris on this one. It was part of a tourist show, and as such it is probably required from the public to put the hand in the Lion's mouth every time it performs.
                  She was invited by perfectly serious people, who didn't imagine there would be an accident.

                        The Guardian is reporting that there wasn't a show and that she must have stuck her hand in the cage herself, to pet the lion...admittedly this is from the manager of the zoo.

                        A British woman who had her arm ripped off by a lioness she tried to stroke at a Spanish animal sanctuary was yesterday recovering at a hospital in the town of Villajoyosa, near Alicante.
