Granted.

however. - in this case - a bite when some fool rubs his face on that of the lion can hardly be called an attack.

So what was it ? a love bite?

Should I dispose of two of my three rabbits that have tasted human blood?

Are they now looking on me as a potential meal?

It's debatable whether rabbits should be kept as pets at all.

They don't like being held, do they? Makes them nervous?

Same for caged birds, aquarium fish, many reptiles...

What a ridiculous comment!!

A lion is not a domestic animal or pet.

The 'victim' should have had a modicum of common sense.

(as should you?)

They're out in the garden all day, then into large enclosure at night.

The three of them also have access to the house but prefer to live in the garden.

I can think of few things more cruel than keeping a bird in a cage

I never said lions are domestic pets and I have no sympathy for the victim, he was clearly an idiot, my common sense suggests that the lions are now caged or destroyed

I think making someone read through some of these posts on AN would come close

One reason I teach my children not to put their faces close to any animals, unless it's a very well known member of the family, and even then, as many have been nipped in the face by their own pets, them looking at us as just another animal and the mood the animals is in matters.

And teach the very young not to smile at animals. From the animals perspective all its sees are teeth and a potential threat.

No eye contact for strange animals.

They are hardly lions , and what's more, as they are vegetarians they probably didn't like the taste of you, so they are unlikely to be looking at you as a potential meal ,but one never knows,!

If one did attack you, I imagine you could probably defend yourself, but it could be a different matter altogether if they joined forces and launched a coordinated attack , and if the third one joined in , well it would probably be game over for you

Where you deliberately feeding them human blood for a specific purpose? Or was it an unprovoked attack? That's how these things start, You are probably pretty safe but I hasten to add I am no expert , better safe than sorry

I agree with @Bday Prang - wouldn't take any chances. They have the taste for blood now.

You should get around 12 portions of a tasty rabbit casserole out of that little lot. Bon appetit.

Because some callous, unthinking, unfeeling and pig-ignorant members of a greater ape species want to make some money.

This should be banned. Absolutely ridiculous. These are wildlife animals.

It was REVENGE, for some of the terrible suffering Chinese put animals through.
