"On June 2, a 22-year-old American tourist was killed after being mauled by a lioness at the Lion Park in Honeydew, north-west of Johannesburg. The woman’s car window was open when the lioness jumped in and attacked her. The man accompanying her was taken to hospital after sustaining injuries from attempting to fight the lioness off the woman.

Scott Simpson, Acting Operations Manager at the Lion Park confirmed to Tourism Update that the lion would not be euthanised as a result of the attack. "

Stupid is as stupid does. No way that lioness should be put down, the victim asked for it. Lion parks are a pretty silly idea, though. I've never figured out why they appeal to people, but there must be enough visitors to make them financially viable.
