Plain common sense will lead any sane person to draw the same conclusion.
Frolicking with "tame", "trained" or "pet" lions does sometimes end very badly, as a quick Google search will
confirm (only for those who can stomach it. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!).
Those who believe they possess some kind of supernatural faculty that permits them to uniquely understand what goes on in certain (or all) animals' minds, and therefore to consort with them as equals are probably asking for it to a greater degree that the plain dumb, ignorant or unlucky.
