I'm sure there were people cheering for the lion to get her lunch too.
I've been in big crowds under similar circumstances. Some cheer for predator, some for prey. There will always be these two factions.
BTW, this ain't "nature". It's a fkn zoo. That lion was absolutely overwhelmed and clueless.

Yeah, that's why I said, "overwhelmed".
True True.

i'd find it interesting to hear, what are the "similar circumstances" you have been in?
my limited imagination can't figure out many similar circumstances one could experience.
you're so right about the clueless lion. it looked like it stopped every now and then and listened to the audience if he should kill or not, lol.

#1 Watching Chimney Swifts(Chaetura pelagica)converge on their nightly roost (a large chimney) as a peregrine falcon waits at their entrance to snag a meal. Many people congregate at this place yearly to "cheer" for either the falcon, or the little swifts. The spectators are split about 50/50. It is very funny to watch. :)
#2 I watched a mule battle it out with a pack of feral dogs one time in Idaho. About seven dogs. They were pretty aggressive. Surprising to see seemingly "dome More..

Why not refuse medical treatment and die horribly of cancer when you're diagnosed? It's nature.

How can you make a comparison out of those?

What comparison? It's like saying you can't compare apples and apples. It's what's natural, versus what's natural.
It's natural for a deer to be eaten by a lion. It's natural to get cancer and die from it. We choose, to avoid pain because we're civilized people who are capable of avoiding pain.
You choose to avoid it for yourself, but not for others?
IMHO they should have given the dead deer to the lion. And IMO it's stupid and pointlessly barbaric to watch a well-fed healthy lion torture a More..

Yeah, Lions in a cage eating an animal they are never meant to eat in the wild is "nature"....

Nature in terms of being enclosed in a cage?

Nothing as natural as a well fed lion in a pen toying with a deer. If it wasnt for the cement wall the people screaming the bars and wire along with the sounds of cars and smell of trash and the city it would be just like being in the wild of montana or someplece.
So you see nothing about this was like nature taking its coarse.

The description should read:
"Although the Bambi-esque deer made an escape its wounds were, in the end, too expensive to fix on the zoo's cheap budget, and the deer was euthanized."

Seemed like the lion didn't try very hard. Like she was more curious than hungry.

Funny how some of these people cheered when the dumb deer got loose. Guess they can't stand lessons from real life. Maybe these animals should be sent to public school to be indoctrinated (learn)tolerance.
This would have been a better video and lesson for all the little kiddies if the cat and captured and eaten it's prey.

You all need to understand that the sort of people bringing their kids to the National Zoo on a Sunday are yuppies at best. This sort of attitude and behavior is common to the yuppie species.

Or perhaps the families bringing their little children to the zoo don't quite want them to be exposed to the brutal reality of nature just yet.
But you're right. Same people screaming for the deer to escape would be fascinated at feeding time when the lion is dished up a nice, sanitatised steak.

Come on man, you're smarter than that. You've just blindly classified everyone who goes to U.S. zoos as politically correct yuppies. WTF?
