Lion Tug Of War - This Has Got To End Well

January 9th, 2008 by Mitch Martin · 2 Comments · 16 Views

The Houston Zoo has a new attraction where it lets zoo visitors play tug of war with a lion or tiger over a piece of raw meat. The zoo staff attaches a 20 lbs. piece of raw meat to a rope that leads out of the cage to a public area. They then allow zoo guests to tug on the rope as the animal tries to enjoy his raw meat afternoon snack. Below is a little YouTube video goodness taken recently by a visitor to the zoo.

Here is my favorite quote from a zoo employee.

It’s designed, Barongi says, to keep the animals from getting bored.

I would imagine that nothing spices up a lions day like having the assholes that locked him in a cage let other assholes try to steal food from him.

    Where’s PETA when you need them?

    No wonder you have zoo animals attacking people all the time.

    The best exhibit at the Boston Aquarium is one where they shine a light in the shape of a fish on the bottom the penguin tank, and guests can move it around with a joy stick. Those fuckers would chase that thing around for hours…

    This is like one million times better.
