Zoo officials say a woman reportedly climbed over a safety barrier at the lion exhibit at a New York City zoo.
The Bronx Zoo says in a statement that staff received a report that an individual climbed over the visitor barrier at the African lion exhibit on Saturday.
The woman is seen in a social media video waving to the lion from across a moat that separates the animals from visitors.
Another video shows the woman climbing over the wooden safety barrier before stopping at the edge of the moat.
The zoo says this was a “serious violation and unlawful trespass.” The Bronx Zoo says they have a “zero tolerance policy on trespass and violation of barriers.”

Wow, I can’t believe that someone would be so stupid
Do lions eat nuts?
If the lion eats her, can her family sue?
Can the lion sue?
Is this article lashon ho’ra are humans, or on lions, or on the zoo management.
Lion be like:
Meh, I ordered Pizza .
She certainly looks like a very juicy, flavorful meal! A lot of juicy fat!
The lion looks bored, probably gets enough to eat so isn’t interested in her.
really un-smart, and i ain’t Lion 🙂
suicidal, in fact. she should be hospitalized.
Can one of our poskim advise as to what is the proper bracha the lion must make for consumption of crazy goyim (she doesn’t look like a yid but that’s just my stereotyping).
It looks like a male lion, and they don’t hunt, so she was probably safe.
If the lion ate her they would say its a racial thing and lock the thing up ….oh
“Do lions eat nuts”
Hahaha
Thx for the laughs
Not insane or brave enough to cross the moat.
If the lion had eaten her they would have called it racial – and the lion would have been locked up…oh
