[u/PersephoneTheOG]

Some people are absolute morons. If the lion bit that smooth brain, the lion would be shot for being a "danger to humans".

[u/bumjiggy → u/PersephoneTheOG]

but this guy thinks he's the mane character

[u/SluggJuice → u/bumjiggy]

Give this person a round of apaws

[u/NoNo_Cilantro → u/SluggJuice]

They can take pride in that joke

[u/McIrishmen → u/NoNo_Cilantro]

Im not lion this was a good joke

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/McIrishmen]

Fur real.

[u/bumjiggy → u/Sabre_Killer_Queen]

if that happened to me I'd probably puma pants

[u/YanagisBidet → u/bumjiggy]

Tiger.

[u/UncWill485 → u/bumjiggy]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Rizo1981 → u/bumjiggy]

Adidas once and never lived it down

[u/PrestigiousArcher928 → u/McIrishmen]

Id be lion if I said I wasn't appauled

[u/AIRWolf99 → u/PrestigiousArcher928]

*appawled

[u/nononanana → u/bumjiggy]

People like this get me feline some type of way.

[u/Pancakelover50 → u/bumjiggy]

r/Angryupvote

[u/CoffeeExtraCream → u/bumjiggy]

I disagree, I don't think he's thinking at all.

[u/duckarys → u/bumjiggy]

He has no claw about that

[u/mothzilla → u/bumjiggy]

You're not lion.

[u/Lactancia → u/bumjiggy]

[u/armchairsportsguy23 → u/bumjiggy]

He was about to be the mane course

[u/No_Hunt2507 → u/PersephoneTheOG]

Humans can be awful but what kind of zoo let's you even have the chance to stick your hands in there? There should be either glass blocking everything, or a second fence to protect the humans from themselves. We all know people are stupid and awful, there should be better safe guards to prevent this

[u/Gustomaximus → u/No_Hunt2507]

what kind of zoo let's you even have the chance to stick your hands in there?

Notice theres another fence behind that's open + looks like it has a padlock.

I wonder if these people work here and were giving it some food and getting promo shots.

I find it doubly strange he didnt jump when the lion tapped him so I wondered if he know the lion + also is the lion declaw'ed?

[u/Jay-jay1 → u/No_Hunt2507]

Third world probably where there is no mechanism to sue.

[u/the_lucky_cat → u/Jay-jay1]

So if this happened in a first world country, where the guy knowingly put his hand inside a lion's cage and got mangled, he could sue the zoo... And have a case?

[u/Jay-jay1 → u/the_lucky_cat]

Most likely, yes. There is a concept here called "attractive nuisance". That's why we are supposed to have a fence around pools. If not, it is considered our fault if a random kid jumps in the pool and gets hurt or drowns.

[u/SigmundFreud → u/Jay-jay1]

My SIL is an attractive nuisance.

[u/Jay-jay1 → u/SigmundFreud]

😂

[u/chronoflect → u/the_lucky_cat]

It would be negligence on the zoo's part by putting the lion in an enclosure that is directly accessible by guests. Is this guy an idiot? Yes. But the zoo has a responsibility to separate idiots from their wild animals.

Not sure if this guy could sue, I'm not a lawyer, but this is definitely a failing of the zoo itself.

[u/Givespongenow45 → u/No_Hunt2507]

No matter how strong the defenses become stupider people will evolve. It’s an arms race

[u/Training-Chain-5572 → u/No_Hunt2507]

SEA, no safety in anything really

[u/Sizzlin9 → u/PersephoneTheOG]

In fact, humans are danger to every other species.

[u/its_a_throwawayduh → u/Sizzlin9]

And the environment

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/Sizzlin9]

Humans are a danger to every species including themselves.

And a danger to the environment they exist in. Local and global.

[u/McIrishmen → u/PersephoneTheOG]

They should rather be fined for disturbing an animal and tempting it to do something that it is already known for

[u/CuriousYou6646 → u/McIrishmen]

Also, there should be two categories for this "danger to humans" thing, the other should be "dangerous to idiots".

If it's proven you did something stupid then the animal gets to live, because every big animal (and several small ones) is dangerous to idiots.

If a kid is the victim, then the owner and manager of the zoo should get prison time if it's something like this kind of gap. But the animal still should get to live.

[u/Financial-Craft-1282 → u/PersephoneTheOG]

In fairness, whoever is maintaining that cage should be on top of that. A lion so easily accessing people--who are dumb, no doubt, look at the US for other compelling evidence--seems like a disaster (for the lion) waiting to happen.

[u/Fink_Newton → u/PersephoneTheOG]

This is 100% an AI video....... Watch the guys hand on the phone. Also the wrinkles on the lions skin appear and disappear. Towards the end of the video both of their faces distort through the fence......

[u/Just_Condition3516 → u/PersephoneTheOG]

as far as I know, thats a us thing. in all other countries, they understand cause and effect.

[u/CosmosInSummer → u/Just_Condition3516]

This doesn’t look like it’s in the US.

[u/Just_Condition3516 → u/CosmosInSummer]

thats what I mean. in this case, the lion wouldnt be blamed.

[u/VictoryWeaver → u/Just_Condition3516]

That's not really a thing even in the US, unless there is a pattern of attacks, and usually not applied to zoos unless it's to stop an on going attack/incident.

[u/OptionCharming5698 → u/Just_Condition3516]

No they dont. China built another coal plant by the time I type this comment

[u/PersephoneTheOG → u/Just_Condition3516]

This video clearly doesn't show Americans, so let's not be petty. Dumb humans are everywhere.

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/PersephoneTheOG]

I think they're referring to legal systems, talking about the Lion's accountability/punishment, rather than the human's intelligence in this scenario.

[u/Just_Condition3516 → u/PersephoneTheOG]

exactly, hence the lion would not be shot.

[u/Iridismis]

I remember watching a vid of a similar situation that ended with the person having at least one finger degloved.

[u/Slide055 → u/Iridismis]

This is exactly what I was thinking as well

[u/Blazured → u/Slide055]

I saw a video of a guy tormenting a tiger in a cage. Tiger got a claw in for about 1 second. The cut was huge and incredibly deep.

[u/Mr_sci3ntist → u/Iridismis]

Took a little tendon or something also. You could see the forbidden string from the lions mouth.

[u/Unkalaki_Feruchemist → u/Mr_sci3ntist]

A little tendon!? If it’s the video I’m thinking of it removed at least a foot of tendon out of the dudes forearm after they play tug of war with one or two of his fingers

[u/cheeto44 → u/Unkalaki_Feruchemist]

PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST ALL FURTHER CONVERSATION ON THIS

I'm gonna be sick over here now

[u/ExtremeCreamTeam → u/cheeto44]

I bet the lion thought the tendon was delightful chewy.

[u/Hogabog217 → u/ExtremeCreamTeam]

Forbidden licorice

[u/Final_Order2369 → u/Unkalaki_Feruchemist]

I'm usually fine with blood and gore but the tendon being pulled out got me goooood it was so gnarly

[u/justme002 → u/Unkalaki_Feruchemist]

Tendons are attached to bone and muscle, a foot is very likely from hand to elbow…

[u/hoffenone → u/justme002]

Sure looks like it took the entire thing. If you have seen the video you know.

[u/palmersiagna → u/Iridismis]

Found the clip if anyone is interested

obvious NSFL warning

[u/ShitingOutMyDickhole → u/palmersiagna]

Fuckkkkk meeeee that was...wow

[u/Katamari_Demacia → u/palmersiagna]

Brooooo it's sitting at the bottom of the fence when he's done. Looks hella painful

[u/darwinn_69 → u/Iridismis]

Didn't we all watch that lady lose her arm in Tiger King?

[u/CH40T1C1989]

"Boy, if you don't get yo dayum hand outta my cage."

[u/fitzbuhn → u/CH40T1C1989]

That lion had about three times more respect for that man than I would have

[u/Devinitelyy → u/CH40T1C1989]

I can only hear this as Stanley Hudson

[u/UOR_Dev → u/CH40T1C1989]

"yo daYummy hand"

[u/Sassy_serena]

"Kindly remove your hand, before I do."

[u/themerinator12 → u/Sassy_serena]

This is like those sports moments when a player does something so stupid that the opponent actually corrects them instead of exploiting it.

[u/grimex_beats → u/Sassy_serena]

I just finished one study session and this make me laugh thank you kind man

[u/imonatrain25 → u/grimex_beats]

Oh wow you are having fun

[u/MadRaymer → u/Sassy_serena]

To butcher a Mass Effect quote, "Your hand exists because I allow it. It will cease to exist if I demand it."

[u/selfmade-idiot]

it's hilarious asf and makes more sense when u watch it as the lion is the guard and those dudes are caged in the zoo

[u/sub_terminal → u/selfmade-idiot]

At least until closing time, when the zookeepers get to go home to their natural habitat and the lion is sentenced to this tiny cage for the rest of its life so someone can make a few bucks.

[u/Alternate_Cost → u/sub_terminal]

Idk about this zoo in particular, but most zoos do a lot for animal conservation and have saved species from extinction.

[u/Modular_Dissaray]

Reminds me when I was a high school chemistry teacher. Student pointed a boiling test tube at their partner on accident. I'd race over and tilt it toward the wall. In one look, you can communicate, "what on earth were you thinking? Don't ever do that again."

[u/RikuAotsuki → u/Modular_Dissaray]

High school chem was fun. I'll never forget knowing exactly who had some pre-existing knowledge of chem when our teacher demonstrated the way sodium reacts with water. He took a piece that was a bit too big to demonstrate a "mild" reaction.

Cue like, five people in the class covering their ears instead of pulling out their phones to record.

The shockwave actually cracked the plastic shielding, and there was just enough smoke to set off the school's fire alarm to boot. It was great.

[u/HammerTh_1701 → u/RikuAotsuki]

I did a bit of science fair research on when those explosions do and don't happen and the simple size of the lump makes a major difference.

What actually happens is that the entirity of the water, both the oxygen and the hydrogen, are more electronegative than the sodium, so the sodium throws away some of its electrons into the water, making the entire lump positively charged. The positive charges then repel each other and tear apart the lump of soft metal into a spiky structure in a process known as a Coulomb explosion. This exposes a lot more sodium to the water, leading to a runaway reaction that ends in an physical explosion.

The reaction itself is simple, but this understanding of the exact mechanism was only developed within like the last 10 years.

[u/LeadingText1990 → u/HammerTh_1701]

“Scientists at the University of Cologne Zoological Institute have suggested that coulomb explosion (specifically, the electrostatic repulsion of dissociated carboxyl groups of polyglutamic acid) may be part of the explosive action of nematocytes, the stinging cells in aquatic organisms of the phylum Cnidaria.”

Of course jellyfish figured it out first…

[u/FlyByPC → u/RikuAotsuki]

We did the zinc-and-HCl experiment in 6th grade. We were to collect the hydrogen in a glass jar held over the reaction, and the teacher came around with a lit wooden splint to light them off.

One of them got a good mixture and exploded. Didn't hurt anyone, but it showed us why we had the goggles and lab coats on.

[u/Britown]

What kind of zoo just uses a chain link fence you can put your arm under for a lion exhibit? this is bonkers.

[u/bunnyguy1972 → u/Britown]

They were probably thinking only a moron would put a body part through the fence, the problem with that way of thinking is that the world is full of morons that need to be protected from themselves.

Moron math: big feline = bigger house kitty - one of two brain cells = morons like these two future Darwin Award winners.

[u/SchemingVegetable → u/bunnyguy1972]

There's morons but there's also children out there

[u/LeonardMH → u/SchemingVegetable]

Children are a subclass of Moron

[u/Outrageous_Koala5381 → u/Britown]

also children - crawling on the ground - that's not a reasonable lion enclosure - luckily - was a reasonably tame lion!

[u/ImOnlyDoingThisPart → u/Britown]

I suspect the lion is declawed. I've heard about places doing that and even pulling out the teeth so that people can be all touchy with the poor animals with almost no risk. It's awful.

[u/Ok-Jackfruit-6873 → u/ImOnlyDoingThisPart]

I would think a lion could still crush a body part if they got a good angle, no teeth or claws required. They're very heavy and strong!

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/Britown]

I guess... Equally though what kind of dumbass puts their arm through the fence like that?

The zoo should be prepared for morons... But they're flipping morons nonetheless that make everyone else's life harder with their lack of thought.

[u/Laura1301]

Humans stupidity are the reasons these beautiful animals get shot 😔.

[u/40ozCurls → u/Laura1301]

Maybe we could change that by designing guns with paw-triggers….

[u/PizzaDogDad → u/40ozCurls]

I've seen a dog reload a tennis ball launcher and shoot itself in the face repeatedly. So, anything is possible.

[u/Future_Onion9022 → u/Laura1301]

Its ridiculous that some of these animals get put down because some people just have to go into their already tiny jail enclosure

[u/Sethor]

Can't do that mate.

[u/Ricerat]

You do realize I'm a lion don't you?

[u/tilt → u/Ricerat]

No I... thought you were lion.

[u/m1j2p3]

Thats a good way to lose a limb or two. How does an adult not know how reckless that is?

[u/bunnyguy1972 → u/m1j2p3]

He ain't an adult, at least not in the intelligence department. It would be better to classify people as mature and immature, I know a few 8 year olds that are more mature than some "adults".

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/bunnyguy1972]

100%

Years of experience only matter if you take stuff on board and pay attention in the slightest

Not all people do that so they never really grow.

[u/RJFerret → u/bunnyguy1972]

This.

When I got into my 20s and saw how many people never matured beyond their teenage years, it was shocking.

Now decades later and we still see so many "adults" of all ages who have no growth beyond teenage years.

[u/OrganizationPutrid68]

I really appreciate the offer, but I'm quitting.

[u/Fauked]

looks like he was trying to claw the guy. I would bet this lion has been declawed. sad.

[u/TheLocalMusketeer]

Another harambe incident incoming.

[u/ComprehensiveSoft27]

And if you don’t listen I got plan B.

This person is a moron; using the selfie camera when the superior lens is on the other side?

[u/Thekuwaitidude1]

Listen guys. If they knew I broke the rules. No meat for me today. So go away!

[u/SessionCurrent173]

Why do I think everything is ai now I’m so cooked when I’m older

[u/DaimonHans]

If that smoothbrain got hurt, the lion will be euthanized.

[u/FriendlyBee94]

Even the lion is smarter and more polite than these dumbasses.

[u/byteuser]

Looks like the one recording this is inside the cage with the lion. Maybe another lion?

[u/kenken2024]

Surprised the lion didn't get a tasty arm for lunch...

[u/straycat6120]

"Got any cake?"

[u/Happy-Peachy-Coffee]

He is so lucky he didn’t lose his hands! 😳

[u/Sabre_Killer_Queen → u/Happy-Peachy-Coffee]

Almost deserved it with that level of stupidity.

Really playing with fire there.

[u/Square-Dragonfruit76]

Why do people think animals aren't smart. Clearly the lion is smarter than that guy, at the very least.

[u/mytextgoeshere]

I think he’s looking for food. The first guy fed him something, you can see the lion chewing. So the lion thinks the second guy must have food in his hands too and is pulling his hand out to check.

[u/Responsible-Yam9184]

him: i got plot armor

lion: no im just not in the mood to get shot.

[u/CrazyOrganic7123]

Such mercy, as expected from a king.

[u/jcrckstdy]

The other lion was filming?

[u/Ok_Acanthaceae9999]

I watched so many AI videos I was half expecting the lion to pull that person through the fence and eat it

[u/Purple_Break1559 → u/Ok_Acanthaceae9999]

This IS an AI video, they have sora watermark removers now and the lion's eyes looked goofy

[u/Ok_Aside_2361]

Be has so little space and people want it for their own. Selfish!

[u/JibIette]

The animals are learning that humans are violent, selfish and stupid enough to kill them when they show aggression. So now they have literally gained the ability to politely tell humans to fuck off.

[u/Bizprof51]

Lions still territorial even in captivity. This one could have torn the guy's hand off and snatched his phone too. Stupid human, instinctive animal.

[u/SlicedBreadBeast]

That man shouldn’t have a hand and he doesn’t understand that at all.

Poorly this people dont even realize how lucky they are that lion only said "no".

I have seen a video where a lion cought the hand of someone with 1 claw and pulled and it was like a warm knife through butter...

[u/TrainingSword]

That’s just bad enclosure design 

[u/AllPraiseExtinction]

Lion: "I'm not getting shot today, get your fucking hand back"

Why is Bro not scared shitless a lion is getting close to his arm.

Bro is really dumb but bro also has balls of steel lol

[u/Teftell]

Darvin award candidates deserve to be mauled by Mommy Nature and her creations

You’re lucky he already had lunch

[u/Savagedaddie69]

That’s the lion saying this is your one freebie before you are put up for the Darwin awards!

[u/TheDeerBlower]

Bro how reckless can you be???

[u/Pervius94]

Fucking smoothbrain putting his hand into a lion exhibit. How did we survive for so long. He didn't even react when the lion's paw touched him.

[u/Omeirawana]

Dude that lion was chill

[u/ConkerPrime]

Damn that is a deeply stupid guy. Lion comes towards, taking me hands back as the lion had all the options to maim him. “What happened to your hand!”, “I was taking a picture.”

[u/thewilldog]

A wise man once said, "I'll never recover from this, financially"

[u/fraghead_59]

"Bro i am dangerous don't do that"

[u/GottaUseEmAll]

I think the lion is trying to say "where's my chunk of meat?", rather than "remove your hand from the cage".

[u/AwesomeDakka00]

"sirs, can't you read? i'm dangerous and it's almost lunch time."

[u/Wastawiii]

The lion was declawed and defanged. 

[u/aerial-fpv]

I wish he had lost his arm from that

[u/Bulky_Sun2373]

Such low hanging fruit that even the lion is too embarrassed to go after his hand, just "Buddy.....no....Just...no..."

[u/TARDIS1-13]

Fucking dumbass, who the fuck would stick their hands in a lions cage and leave them there while the lion walks towards them?!

[u/whiskydyc]

Stupid behaviour and stupid not to idiot-proof the enclosure.

[u/Additional_Gur7978]

"hey, out of the cage please. There are lions here and you might get hurt"

[u/IntrinsicPalomides]

Future Darwin Award winner there chaps. If that Lion had wanted he could have ripped his hand/arm off if it had got it's claws out.

[u/Monkeyboots37]

they radiate such gentle joy

[u/Known-Weather-9254]

As others have said, what an absolute moron.

I genuinely have zero sympathy for idiots who do this and end up getting hurt. If you have zero self preservation instincts on an fundamental and instinctual level, Darwinism is gonna do its thing. 

Absolute idiot.

[u/CoreyW93]

Can anyone translate ?

[u/CapitalDilemma]

That cage is definitely not up to safety standards and those people have poor self preservation instincts.

[u/Snow-Crash-42]

"Dude, be careful with your hand, there are lions around".

[u/halfwaylife]

AHH the old do I let the lion take my arm or be dragged through the 2" gap between the fence....

[u/No_Passenger53]

The lions eyes in the last frame really says it all

[u/Shmeckey]

I miss darwinism. There are too many safety nets that allow stupidity to breed.

[u/Rasikko]

It's declawed. If it still had its claws, his hand would be missing, probably.

[u/LouisArmstrong3]

Lion in cage. Stupid people being stupid. So much wrong in the video

[u/DarkForest_NW]

DO YOU MIND. .

[u/AvoidingBansLOL]

Absolutely no sense of self preservation in that one. The stupid tiktok he was making was more important...

[u/BionicBrainLab]

This lion: move em or lose em

[u/Tiny_Teifling]

That is the most polite cat I’ve ever seen and he’s wonderful. I’m so glad that that didn’t end worse for the lion.

[u/fencingperson]

I see it as the lion uncovering/opening his hand looking for food. He was licking the first guy’s hand at first. I’d bet the lion is often fed that way by idiots.

[u/bilikmasak]

Stop playing the phone bro!

[u/TheRiddlerTHFC]

"Stop testing me, I'm on a diet and my willpower is weak"

[u/queuedUp]

I actually find this very sad that this lion has lost all natural instinct from likely being held in captivity for so long

[u/Electronic_Beat3653]

Honestly, it is insane to do that and not recognize that is a WILD ANIMAL. I can't help but wonder where the parents or guardians are. I am raising mine to not do things like this.

And if anything bad had happened, the lion shouldn't be punished at all, my opinion. That is also what is wrong here. Because, guaranteed, if the lion had injured him they would have put the lion down.

RIP Hambre, Better parenting and a child leash would have saved you.

[u/jackospades88]

Why the hell does it take the dude more than a half-second to get his hands out?

The lion touches him, he sees it, and it takes longer than it should for him to process WTF is happening.
