Pose With Lions! Gee, Guess What Happened Next?
Stupid bitch. I will say that because she survived. If she had been killed I probably would have said “Dumb Cunt”.
Pardon my Swahili today, it ain’t a normal day for me so I am hap-hap-happy to call idiots on their bullshit.
Class…this is why you don’t pose with wild animals that can rip your throat out in two seconds…
From The Daily Mail:
This was the horrific moment a British teacher was savaged by a lion - coming within inches of death.
The big cat pounced on Kate Drew from behind and dragged her to the ground, sinking its teeth into the back of her neck.
As wardens on a Zimbabwe game reserve rushed to help, the 400lb lion kept the 28-year-old tourist firmly in its grip - but, mercifully, its jaws just missed her brain stem.
Seconds later, she was rescued, dripping with blood. The bite wounds left her needing 13 stitches.
Recalling the attack just over a month ago, Miss Drew, from Hornchurch, Essex, said she assumed she was a “goner” after the lion pounced.
As it held her down, she was even more terrified to glance up and see two more lions coming her way.
She was saved only when the wardens rushed in with sticks and wrestled the animal away.
The closeness of her brush with death sank in only after Miss Drew saw these photographs of the attack, taken by a fellow traveller.
“It brings back just what a crazy experience it was,” she said.
“It’s quite shocking to see a picture of it.”
The primary school headmistress had been working as a volunteer teacher in Tanzania since last September and was spending a few weeks travelling across Africa on a bus with other backpackers.
As part of the trip, they visited a project where lions are bred to be released back into the wild.
Tourists can pay £24 ($48 USD) to walk with several of the big cats, which are considered tame enough to be allowed contact with humans.
Miss Drew, who is now helping at an orphanage in Peru, said: “I was a bit apprehensive, but we were just leaving and everything seemed to have gone well - until this one lion jumped at me from behind.
“I was scared enough when he pinned me to the ground, but when I looked up and saw the other two, I really thought I’d had it. I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m a goner’.”

400 lbs! I used to wonder what a housecat would do if I was 20 times smaller.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:26 pmTaze [her], bro!
Glad somebody thought to stay “strong” and “steady” and take pictures … That always helps.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:38 pmi recall a friend that was at yellowstone..he notivied a ranger that some Japanese folks had gone off the trail and walked up to a buffalo herd and was taking pics..the ranger said “we lose more Japanese that way”
March 8th, 2008 at 3:39 pmI have 3 housecats that I brought back from Saudi Arabia. Even I am not stupid enough (this takes some doing) to play games with them. She was. Fuck her, she’s an idiot.
Do not mess with cats, particularly if they are larger than you are.
Lesson learned. Hopefully.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:59 pmWonder who’s paying for her African safari and South American expedition? Probably the UK gubmint…they are all over empire building and cultural relativism.
March 8th, 2008 at 4:27 pmThe gene pool almost gained a notch.
March 8th, 2008 at 4:32 pmHope she gets an infection …
The broad, NOT the lioness …
Crikey! I hope the lioness was given antibiotics!!!
March 8th, 2008 at 4:44 pmT’would have been a shame to lose such a pretty blonde and so dumb, um um um. Throb!
March 8th, 2008 at 4:55 pmA- Dumb-ass…
B- Thanks to the lioness for trying to weed out the less than worthy of us.
C- Nice rack…but tits don’t make up for stupidity.
March 8th, 2008 at 5:19 pmShe’s lucky the cat was basically still a kitten and was just “playing”.
March 8th, 2008 at 5:24 pmLook at the pic, claws are not extended.
It was her time of the month
March 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pmBirddog: “It was her time of the month”
March 8th, 2008 at 6:03 pmCould have been, maybe it was a young lion and not a lioness.
The dumbass was grabbed by the back of her neck.
He may have been trying to “get some”.
it happens often, here in 2005 during a class photo shoot:

March 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmLion equal= British Islamo Fascist.
March 8th, 2008 at 7:52 pmBritish Woman equal= British Government.
Any more questions about your government appeasement of Islam?
I just love how these “nature lovers” think their enviro-karma is in such a great “I-Ching … voodoo … hub-bub … whateverTF bullshit” state with the animals and “the Earth-goddess” that they think the animals will just sense this [cosmic peace] with the dumb-assed humans playing touchy-feely with them … and NOT tap into that primal, “you’re lower than me on the food chain” and “I could eat something right now” instinct …
March 8th, 2008 at 8:21 pmDelving into some anthropomorphism maybe? So she’d fit in better down at Orwells farm. In that first photo she has that aire that she’s an ambassador to the noble lions. Yet even the last ones she’s giving her personal “thumbs up mission accomplished” (nearly!) pose. She’s a teacher too? Lesson learned. Hope she’ll not aim any students down the same stupid path.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:44 pmI believe it was in Republic of South Africa (RSA) about ten years ago during a “enviromentilist Safari” that a “soft minded” enviromentilist whacko (a guy) was attacked by a Lion in the middle of the night while the idiot was sleeping out in the open with his fellow idiots.
He was dragged off and killed by the the Lion, his body was found intact the next morning, except for his head.
Which they never found
It was ten years or so ago, I never heard any more about it after the first report, thanks to the MSM and their desire to make those wackos look good.
March 8th, 2008 at 11:13 pmWant to know about lions?
Read “Death in the Tall Grass” by Peter Capstick, Chapter One.
Cover a Great White shark in fur and give it claws. There’s your lion.
March 9th, 2008 at 6:34 amCorrection. Death in the LONG Grass.
My bad.
March 9th, 2008 at 6:35 amAhhh how refreshing, the Left and Envirotourism! All the while providing hard currency for a brutal and repressive dictator like Mugabe with their tourism trade, while there is record hyperinflation worse than the days of the Weimar Republic of Germany with people of the former “Breadbasket of Africa” starving to death under his rule.
Mugabe is the kind of Ass Clown that Obama will embrace like Carter did and pump millions, more likely billions into Zimbabwe which will prop up and enable Mugabe and his cronies to stay in power for years to come.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:03 amDrillanwr, your description is very true. As dear and supposedly well adjusted as I think my cat is every once in a while we’re “playing”. 99% of the time it’s just play. But, there’s about every other month where she’ll do a Jekyll and Hyde on me and clamp down on my finger, sink her front claws into the rest of my hand and then start shredding the back of my forearm with that kicking they do. I could get her declawed, but, even though I never let her out because I live on a busy street, she’d be a flat cat in no time, if she ever did get out she’d have nothing to defend herself with. So, during her Mr. Hyde phase I’m trying to stay calm and start petting her head with my other hand and then she turns back into Dr. Jekyll. Then sits there nonchalontly licking the blood off her front paws and as I’m blotting the blood off my arm I ask her, “what did you do that for”? She looks up at me as if to say, “because I’m a cat, you stupid fuck”. Gee, nice to know that if I died she’d remove all traces of me. Well, at least I wouldn’t be stinking up the place.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:04 amJohn,
March 9th, 2008 at 9:28 amyou don’t understand the females, she just wanted that you let her go outside
Franchie, funny you should mention that. I think I’m the only one that walks the cat on a leash. It’s a harness so she can’t slip out of it. During the summer we’ll go out, but only in the back of the building. The cars out front freak her out and she jumps up on me and then I get my back or shoulders shredded.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:53 amWow im shocked that this happened.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:58 amJohn, You told us that once ; that’s may-be the raison she is scratching you
when my dogs want to go out they turn around till we get tired
March 9th, 2008 at 10:07 amWrong target, guys. Note the line: “Tourists can pay £24 ($48 USD) to walk with several of the big cats, which are considered tame enough to be allowed contact with humans.” This is Zimbabwe, desperate for money, give
Mugabe’s savagely stupid rape of the country.
D’you suppose they’ve stopped letting tourists play with the nice lions yet?
