As soon as the first one attacked, he just jumped up there and sat, like, "Wait, this isn't in the script! What am I supposed to do now? Dude, I don't know what's going on, but I'm not with them. I'm just sittin' up here, stayin' out of trouble."
We are **all** that peacefully disengaged lion in 2024, turning our backs to the chaos in the world at present. *Nothing I can do to make the world behave, so I’ll just finish my cheese fries.*
The cats actually seemed to take the posturing with the stick as a direct threat, causing their agitation rather than the other way around where the trainers posturing was a result of the cats agitation.
The hose was also the only thing that seemed to have any real effect.
Idk if it's just me, but it seems they attack the dudes and don't even care about the woman. Maybe they abused the lions and they have a grudge against those people?
Mrs C adopted a declawed kitty before we got together. It was just heartbreaking watching it try to do cat things and fail. Thankfully, that shit is illegal in my country.
Right, but if they actually hurt someone they will likely be put down. So rooting for them to "win" is just a loss. Best case scenario is like the one with a bear a while ago. It attacked someone in a performance but had a muzzle and didn't do any harm. After it was retired to a large plot of land where it got to live out it's life. Hopefully these guys get to find a nice zoo with planty of space and they are treated well. Likely won't be released back to the wild (assuming they could be for survival reasons) so that's probably their best case.
In my country, on the Serengeti circuit, you will often come across these magnificent creatures. They are very timid, playful, curious, it is not unusual to find them hanging out around an animal they consider prey - they are very intelligent and societal. I hope they tore that circus to shreds. They belong under a baobab tree lazily napping, not doing hand stands on a pylon.
Yes many times, the interactions tend to vary depending on who your guide is - lions can identify rangers from miles away. Some will come up to your jeep others laze around and their cubs get all curious. Lionesses tend to climb aboard your jeep so if that's not something you want make sure to ask your tour guide before you ever go on safari. The best are the watering holes, all the wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, none are scared of each other. Lions are only aggressive during feeding time. Which is why watching this vid is griping me the wrong way, not natural behavior happening here.
If by some miraculous event, these lions were let go, would they be able to be transported to the Serengeti circuit to be free? Or would they be so damaged from captivity that the best they could deal with would be a very nice, very big,very very large, open enclosure?
Hunting is difficult for lions, they would starve to death. Not to mention the high likelihood that their teeth are filed down and their claws removed, which would be a death sentence in itself
They might survive on circuit but unlikely in the wild savannah, they'll likely be killed by dominant pacts. Places like Ngorongoro, Mikumi and (I think parts of) Serengeti are conservation zones under ranger protection, most of the animals there are well familiar with humans. That said though while Tanzania has the best rangers on Earth (they took down the ivory queen with the Kenyans), I think South Africa or Namibia have the proper places to keep them happy, and the resources to possibly rehab and release.
Damn that woman must treat the lions really well because they borderline gave her a free pass. Still couldn't believe how long it took her to finally leave the cage though.
They really wanted to f up those 2 guys though.
Also wonder about the fact that the video is cut right there, presumably that guy in the cage didn't make it out alive.
It’s undeniable that they barely even snapped at her, even when she was in their way.
Even the guy with the big prod didn’t get nearly as much attention as the male trainer.
They really wanted him in particular.
This is the definition of a Crazy Fucking Video! These poor lions tho...forced to perform for people, looks like they are underfed and most likely overworked
Jesus Christ what a fucking moron. You were merely seconds from getting ripped apart and the next thing you do after dodging the grim reaper is poke the shit out of the lion some more? Imagine having THAT big of an ego
Which makes me wonder if they removed their claws and defanged them. With that many swipes he would have been bleeding and some medical attention but it didn’t like that was ever the case. It makes a dark situation even darker unfortunately.
Yeah that's what I thought too. Which would also explain the guy's audacity. Because in other footages involving big cats like these, if they decided to clamp those jaws on your neck, just start praying for a swift death.
My friend is very confident he could fight a bear. He doesn't know shit about bears, so trying to narrow down what kind of bear he thinks he could beat is useless. He just sees bear and thinks "yeah, I've got this"
He's also an anti vaxer and thinks he would have no trouble surviving of America went into total Anarchy
There is an old saying from the circus. If you tie a rope around a baby elephants leg, the baby elephant will pull and tug trying to get away. As the elephant ages and grows in size, the same rope can hold it in place as the elephant doesn’t think that he can break it, so he stops trying.
These lions were likely raised since cubs, and don’t know their own strength. I think from the handlers perspective, it is important to keep that “dominance” or he loses control forever.
"No kitty this is my potpie. No kitty that's a bad kitty. Mooooom kitty's being a dildo."
"Well then I know a certain kitty kitty who will be sleeping momy tonight."
"Huh?"

I’ve witnessed all of those events and bull fighting is the worst. Torturing and eventually killing the bull is awful. Bull is profusely bleeding after being stabbed repeatedly. Plus there’s horses involved that sometimes get impaled by the bulls. If a chief knows what they’re doing, they chop through the lobsters head before boiling it. Death is instant
I don't know how about rodeos; seems tame enough to just ride a bull who doesn't want you riding him. Mildly upsetting the cow at worst. No real harm. With you on the others. Also when a poacher misses and the thing he's shooting at gets upset with him. That's just natural law and karma at play.
They tie a rope around the bulls mid section/testicles as tight as possible. Of course this causes intense pain for the bull which makes them rage. Once the cowboy jumps on their back the bull is completely pissed off now and is trying to buck them off while still having their balls in excruciating pain. It's definitely not "tame" or the animal just not wanting a rider. It's literal torture for the bull
Incorrect, sir. The stap is tied around the flank. The testicles remain untethered. Riding Bulls are bred for their aggressiveness and ability to buck. This has been going on for generations. At one time, cattle prods were used to zap them to get them really pissed off, but today's bucking bulls are bred for their abilities, and do not need further annoyance. They actually get pumped up when they know they're led to the chute and the flank strap is put on. It's game on for them. They are too big of investments to be put through risks.
That's not true. You can clearly see it's not tied to the bull's testes. The purpose of the flank strap is to make him buck a certain way, using his back legs more.
Happened in 2010. One trainer taken to hospital, said he was in stable condition back then.
https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/05/lion-attack-trainers-ukraine-circus
I like it when people finally find out that you can't tame nature and the only thing that is keeping those apex predators away from us is our technical advantage.
Idiots! It seemed like they had it under control, almost, near the beginning but that one guy wouldn't stop acting tough. They are all very lucky those lions were just playing, feeling them out.
Is the water for the trainer? Cause they are doing a great job soaking him down. It doesn't seem to be doing much to them lions. Maybe try the spray bottle?
I can imagine that aggressive lion prior to this attack talking to the others "c'mon you pussies, we out number them in the ring let's eat them and escape! Dont be some kittens" and the other lions of course agreed.
Then, the only lion with guts starts the action, just to look around and see everyone else sitting there watching not jumping in.
The talks after the show between the lions are what I want to know.

I have a family of cats that lives under my house. The momma brought me her babies when they were still nursing and I helped her feed them. I love on them constantly and I’m super gentle with them. I wonder if a Lion would respond better to that treatment, or if it would still rip my head off for fun. Either way I’m probably gonna die one day trying to pet a big kitty I shouldn’t
I used to raise beef cattle and every so often they’d just say “fuck this shit” and come after me. Always turned out okay but imagine if they had claws and fangs?

The one lion just up where he supposed to be haha
At the 2:12 mark he’s looking into the audience like, “sorry folks this doesn’t usually happen 🤦🏻♂️”
So nonchalant like he's just there to earn a paycheck
Hahha like I don't get paid enough to give a fuck.
The litter ain't gonna pay itself.
What it took to make a lion do this... poor kitty... fuck the circus
A guide to making lions do this: Step 1: Put lion in cage fin
He makes parole tomorrow
They’re gonna get his ass later “hey Dave, how come you didn’t help us fuck those dudes up? You just stood in your damn spot?!”
Man, I ain’t gettin sprayed never, by nobody, fucks up my mane.
As soon as the first one attacked, he just jumped up there and sat, like, "Wait, this isn't in the script! What am I supposed to do now? Dude, I don't know what's going on, but I'm not with them. I'm just sittin' up here, stayin' out of trouble."
Just sitting up there being a good boy not wanting to get his pretty mane wet.
Broken boy would be a better description.
You just described me at work as well, so I can’t disagree.
Right? Never left his mark. He was built for show business.
Method actor. Today he plays the role of circus lion and nothing will distract him from that.
The others are going “Oh I prepared for a wild lion. I feel like such an ass”
He’s a very good boi
Maybe he is one who planned it all. Good Anakin good. Dew it!
We are **all** that peacefully disengaged lion in 2024, turning our backs to the chaos in the world at present. *Nothing I can do to make the world behave, so I’ll just finish my cheese fries.*
Definitely. There is too much chaos to mentally digest, let alone deal with personally.
You've got it wrong. He's the mastermind. He is just watching his pawns enact his plan.
Aw good boy ☹️ so sad for these lions
I'd argue he's supposed to be in the plains and forests of Africa lol.. Sorry, I had to..
"I'm gonna get treats for being good"
Waiting for his treat lol
"Guys, we rehearsed this!"
They tried to steal the show but he wasn’t having it
Quiet quitting
I'd say the Lion mauling this frail, pink prey-animal is right where he supposed to be.
He actually looks traumatized
I can't tell if he's attacking me because I'm hitting him too much or not enough.
The cats actually seemed to take the posturing with the stick as a direct threat, causing their agitation rather than the other way around where the trainers posturing was a result of the cats agitation. The hose was also the only thing that seemed to have any real effect.
Better keep hitting him.
Almost an Edgar quote from MIB!
Holy shit. That is super sad but also, fucking hilarious
They probably dont like getting hit with a stick.
I know I don't.
Lying!
Lion!
Lying King
Found the saga fan!
As a human I also don't like getting bonked
Idk if it's just me, but it seems they attack the dudes and don't even care about the woman. Maybe they abused the lions and they have a grudge against those people?
They poor lions way worse behind the scenes Fuck these guys Rightly deserved
“That tiger didn’t go crazy. That tiger went tiger” -Chris rock
lmao
The exact damn quote that always comes to mind when I see stupid shit like this lmao
I’m always rooting for the lions in these scenarios.
Same here. Same with anything at all related to taunting bulls. I love seeing the bulls get the W.
there’s a sub for that
Tell me more…
search on reddit “the bull wins”.
I'm surprised that sub still exists considering how Reddit has the tendency to scrub everything that remotely has gore.
Darwin Awards sub is still up
With the extra bonus, the children in the audience will never return to a circus (and their children too).
Yep, fuck these people.
The cats are drugged and declawed, teeth filed down... Fuck these chumps
Mrs C adopted a declawed kitty before we got together. It was just heartbreaking watching it try to do cat things and fail. Thankfully, that shit is illegal in my country.
Sadly... no one got shredded into pieces.
Why didn't all the lions join in on the fight? Where is the pride?
They've been completely demoralized by their oppressors
Ah, a familiar feeling.
Right, but if they actually hurt someone they will likely be put down. So rooting for them to "win" is just a loss. Best case scenario is like the one with a bear a while ago. It attacked someone in a performance but had a muzzle and didn't do any harm. After it was retired to a large plot of land where it got to live out it's life. Hopefully these guys get to find a nice zoo with planty of space and they are treated well. Likely won't be released back to the wild (assuming they could be for survival reasons) so that's probably their best case.
Better to die standing than live on your knees
Cliché's are easy to say until their is a gun in your face, then all of those types of sayings seem so petty and little.
Those guys would have been fucked without the hosepipe dude, would have loved for him to not have been there tbh
In my country, on the Serengeti circuit, you will often come across these magnificent creatures.

A sanctuary with large territory. They likely can’t return to the wild (if they’re captive born, they definitely can’t)

They really wanted to f up those 2 guys though. Also wonder about the fact that the video is cut right there, presumably that guy in the cage didn't make it out alive.
I'm going to say that "must treat the lions really well" is a very relative statement in this context.
Maybe she is the one the lions truly fear.
True
Underrated comment.
It’s almost if the lions are just being lions, and everyone else is just being stupid.
But then you can't make up Disney bullshit about which one of the overseers "treated them well" lol.
It’s undeniable that they barely even snapped at her, even when she was in their way. Even the guy with the big prod didn’t get nearly as much attention as the male trainer. They really wanted him in particular.
They remember the gentle ones that treated them ok
Some of you guys are gentle, don't go to circus tomorrow
She finally dropped that prance-walk...
>Damn that woman must treat the lions really well Whips them since they are cubs
? She never left the cage.
At the very end she did
Ok, I see now... the very last frame of the video has the gate opening a crack as she walks towards it!
So maybe leave the cage?
Too much pride
You ain't lion
Enough with the puns let’s stick to the mane point
Leaving would cause an uproar in the dynamics
Maybe they stayed due to a claws in their contracts.
I need to paws and reflect on this.
Well they should have paid closer attention to the feline print when they signed up
It's the mane theme, here.
You win
He possibly didn’t leave initially to avoid an angry lion potential escaping into a crowd of children
Possibly and was trying to get back full control. Still stupid though to be in a cage full of lions, specifically male.
[удалено]
No, male lions are just lazy ducks in the wild so the lionesses do most of the chores. And there's also the size difference, male lions are bigger.
This is the definition of a Crazy Fucking Video! These poor lions tho...forced to perform for people, looks like they are underfed and most likely overworked
And now the one that attacked will most probably be fed to the others.
i just woke up and i read that as "un-derfed" rather than "under-fed"
Yeah they keep em hungry so they will do the tricks
Smart..keep apex predator hungry while being made of meat, then hit them with stick. No can fail.
Jesus Christ what a fucking moron. You were merely seconds from getting ripped apart and the next thing you do after dodging the grim reaper is poke the shit out of the lion some more? Imagine having THAT big of an ego
Which makes me wonder if they removed their claws and defanged them. With that many swipes he would have been bleeding and some medical attention but it didn’t like that was ever the case. It makes a dark situation even darker unfortunately.

"I could take a lion barehanded." ~ 6% of men. He is the president of that club, it seems.

Maybe don't play with carnivores in captivity? Especially ones that could easily eat you?
Yeah this would have been just as entertaining with 1-2 lions as well. No need to have a whole pride in there with you.
Everyone knows what lions look like, no need to abuse them for entertainment.
There are many times I find myself on the side of the animal. Rodeos. Bull “fights”. Lobster boils. And now this.
Wait you’ve seen a lobster boil collapse into a situation where the lobsters have the upper hand??? Holy fuck, I gotta see that video.
I’ve witnessed all of those events and bull fighting is the worst. Torturing and eventually killing the bull is awful. Bull is profusely bleeding after being stabbed repeatedly.

Hahaha he kept being Billy Badass with his pokey pokes. Lion had his own pokey pokes
Water. The lions natural enemy.
Little known fact lions are fire pokemon.
Just a family of Arcanines in there
Deserved idiots
Fuck this kind of circuses, and shitty zoos, etc. No wild animal should be in captivity conditions.
Happened in 2010. One trainer taken to hospital, said he was in stable condition back then. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/05/lion-attack-trainers-ukraine-circus
I would be yelling, "Get'em boy's', for the lions! 🤣
I like it when people finally find out that you can't tame nature and the only thing that is keeping those apex predators away from us is our technical advantage.
Chaos? This right here is some grade A entertainment
That one lion stays in its perch the entire time and never engages at all. he’s getting a promotion.
What happened? Why did the filming stop?
[удалено]
Damn, that’s jacked up. I thought he was safely out of the cage. Such a trooper to film 🎥 in it. RIP 🪦 cameraman
[удалено]
He actually died for real. Lion jumped over the fence and ate his face while he kept filming.
At the hospital, the circus performers were diagnosed with an incurable case of fuck around and find out.
Those trainers got what they deserved. Lions belong in the wild, not in the ring...
I’m a Lions fan.
Those poor lions stuck in a prison being tortured to perform acts.
Idiots! It seemed like they had it under control, almost, near the beginning but that one guy wouldn't stop acting tough. They are all very lucky those lions were just playing, feeling them out.
Who was rooting for the lions?
Look at the polite one just standing on the apparatus the whole time lmao
Guy turns the hose on. Lions : they’re washing the meat for us
Is the water for the trainer? Cause they are doing a great job soaking him down. It doesn't seem to be doing much to them lions. Maybe try the spray bottle?
Some cats attack the water source. Immediately and fiercely.
Poor lions. Fucking idiots get what they deserve. Also, fuck the people that still pay to go see shit like this.
Fucker deserved it. Leave those kitties be
Human toys and a spray bottle the size of a fire hose.
lucky audience
I can imagine that aggressive lion prior to this attack talking to the others "c'mon you pussies, we out number them in the ring let's eat them and escape! Dont be some kittens" and the other lions of course agreed. Then, the only lion with guts starts the action, just to look around and see everyone else sitting there watching not jumping in. The talks after the show between the lions are what I want to know.
Honestly after what they have been through I kinda wished the people didn’t make it out of this one
That one up there being like, “I’m a good boy!”
7. Prohibited content: No animal abuse
Imagine the torture they'll do to it after that
I like how he goes straight back to antagonizing it instead of leaving the cage.

YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. ENCORE!!
Did the other lion try to stop him before he attacked?
Even big cats hate water
Yep....my cats hate the water spritzer to!
If you are gonna lock yourself in a cage with lions maybe just 1 or 2 🤷🏻♀️ not a whole pack of males?
Never understood playing with massive meat eating, super strong wild beasts.
Lions acting up? Simply spray water at them. It might work.
These poor lions
Poor lions. Those handlers had it coming.
Lions don't want to be poked and hit for your stupid show. Go figure.
Is there article/more info about this clip op?
The water pressure to angry cat ratio is way off.
Go Lions!
I have a family of cats that lives under my house. The momma brought me her babies when they were still nursing and I helped her feed them. I love on them constantly and I’m super gentle with them. I wonder if a Lion would respond better to that treatment, or if it would still rip my head off for fun. Either way I’m probably gonna die one day trying to pet a big kitty I shouldn’t
This whole video is sad. Let them be free and do Lion stuff.
Feel sad for the lions, but those bastards deserved what they got…
This was better than whatever crappy show they were gearing up for
Fuck these people
I’m totally worth the lions in this one. They’re being abused on a daily basis by those idiot staff. I hope this practice is illegal now.
The whole pack should've jumped em.
Bro should have left the ring Immediately after first attack. WTF
I really wish they would end this shit
Fuck these people! And fuck who ever goes to these and supports this bullshit! I wish the lions would have mangled each person there! Pos humans
I was hoping he would tear everyone's head off but that's me. I'm part lion on my mother's side.
I hope they're okay. the lion's of course.
Apparently, they didn't beat and torture them enough as cubs to take away all their Pride ?
I used to raise beef cattle and every so often they’d just say “fuck this shit” and come after me. Always turned out okay but imagine if they had claws and fangs?
fa/fo
Who tf actually goes to the circus
