Caged Lion Attacks Man in Iran



This video is too much!

The video was apparently shot in Iran judging from the appearances of the people in the video and the fact that they are speaking Farsi, or Persian.

A man, apparently a janitor or maintenance man, was working in and around the cage of a lion somewhere in Iran. The lion's cage is indoors for some reason. Somehow, the lion attacks the worker and has the worker in its jaws. Another man is there yelling and somehow trying to get the lion to quit biting the man.

This goes on for some time as the poor guy struggles to get away from the lion and the lion seems to be gnawing away at him and pulling him into its cage, apparently to eat him. The lion has grasped the man around his shoulder area.

A group of men arrive, but can't seem to figure out what to do about this very odd situation, so they don't do much of anything. Finally, a man in a uniform arrives, who may be a policeman or a military man. He has a pistol in his hand. He approaches the cage and shoots the lion a few times. The lion bounces backgrounds, releases the man from its jaws, then lets out a load moan as it dies. It did take a few shots to put the lion down.

Medical personnel then arrive on the scene and start going to work on the man who was chomped by the lion. It seems like maybe he is going to make it, but we can't be sure.

An extremely crazy video, one of the wildest I have ever posted!

This is so unreal it's not even happening man... You're not biting me, Simba. Oh yes you are and they've shot you. Where are the dogs? Where are the dogs?

The opening scene's like a horror show as we close up on the trainer and the lion and the trainer's colleague trying to rescue him. Then the dogs running in and out the curtain looking for a bone to pick or just one. And finally the cops with just the right gun even though it was a little late and huff! what a high platform didn't pass my physical and this is just like the rundown at the range. Bam! Beast won't die. Bam! Bam! if I'm not Sergeant Dan. Bam! ...Medic! Medic! What a circus...

For all you stupid people that just go on with what you see but not with what you understand ... Clearly you don't understand Farsi or the Iranian language .... The man who got caught is the trainer and the man who was outside trying to help is his brother .... And this isn't a zoo... It's supposed to be a show happening later that week. Anyways the brother on the outside later said that the lion was not calm that day ... It was in a fight with other lions and this trainer insisted to work with the lion... He also said he was holding the lion by the head for about 45 min prior to the guy Filming them arrived . Later on the policeman arrived and shot him twice and the lion died ... From the medical team was heard that his leg bones are broken but no body part was actually eaten also his shoulder and head.
I hope he is ok .
Now as far as all the stupid people making up stories and this idiot Iranian guy was playing with the lion .... Well it takes courage to get in a lion's cage and train the wild animal and make a living for his family. Thanks to US and all the sanctions it's only the people that are suffering and the governments continuing what they are doing.

Thank you very much for this, Iranian Man.

I'm sure that guy thought it was over. I think its clear the lion was holding back though, sorta waiting and seeing if he could actually get away with this. It could have finished it quick had it wanted to. It was gonna pay with its life one way or the other though.

Animals shouldn't be used for entertainment - they aren't toys.

I think the first two shots were misfired to try to scare it. Well that should have been tryed anyway.

well.. fuck you, and fuck making a living for your family too, if this is your choice of work... if you as a human think to interact with a lion like this and "train" them and go in a cage with them daily, you are definetly playing with more than only the lion... also ... courage??? WDYM dumbass?? and apperantly we are stupid if we dont know a shit language like farsi or iranian.. who would want that?? .... right.... even saying you go with what you are looking at with your own eyes, but NOT with what you understand... dude... watch it again and see if you could understand whats happening ok? and he was warned that the lion was behaving dangerous, but INSISTED to do shows to feed the family. that 900 pound wild killing machine just has to obey.. yeah i SEE the problems, but i dont understand .. seems to be the key point here, the talking nobody wants to learn.. holding the key.. thanks for clearing everything up, farsi speaking man!
