"KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was
mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the
animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.
"The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a
rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions,"
the official said.
"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his
carotid artery."
The incident, Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was
the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in
an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks."
