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.

All the proof I need. Hahahahaha...Good one Ace!!! Someone at the Zoo neglected to check the religious status of the Lioness...I'm thinking at least agnostic as if there was a god, it certainly wouldn't be cast in the likeness of Homo Erectus...hahahaha. Thanks Kim

Not much different than stepping in front of a speeding bus and saying "if God exists, he will save me." The only thing it proved was that this dude was a dumbass.

That dude must'a been one hell of a piece of work. ...Tastes like chicken though.

GOOD ...and that will be the first part eaten! Wild predators eat the softest, easiest to chew parts first. Invariably that begins with the a-hole, then the guts.
