        Why is this poor 22-yr-old called a 'girl' on your website? I bet the BBC wouldn't call a 22-yr-old man a 'boy'... Talk about adding insult to injury.pic.twitter.com/P8dNneLyzt

        I think this lion whisperer whispered wrong things to the lioness. #armchair thoughts.

        The statement does not imply the lion escaped. It emphasizes everything happened "as per procedure" and as done "on a weekly basis", which raises questions about the procedure. The statement doesn't say to whom the warning of roaming lions was sent to. Was it sent to all guests?

        This comment is racist. We do not know the race of the victim but we know she likely was not a tourist. She accompanied someone on an assignment to interview the manager.

        Did I read 'taking for a walk'? How do you take a lion for a walk?
