Damn, assholes, lol.

 

[Des0lar]

they eat fucking dogs, I couldn't cares less about what happens to them I hope those lions scape and rip their body appart. Too bad they are the ones that are gonna rule the world though...

Yeah so not only do ALL chinese eat dogs (And I won't even talk about cutural relativity here) but they should be mauled to death as well. Great contribution man!

 

[Theonik]

Bring some more lions so they can watch/join in.

Put them in the cage with lion spectators. Train the lions to throw snowballs at them.

 

[Aldebaran]

It's a snowball, not a brick.

Throwing snowballs at defenseless animals is an acceptable behaviour?

 

[Schattenjäger]

Lol it's kind of funny

Lions are assholes!

 

[SJRB]

Snowballs, with an s at the end, you prick.

Shut up you idiot.

It is admirable that you are taking such clear stances on this subject, but there is no need for insults.

Throwing snowballs at defenseless animals is an acceptable behaviour?

Did I say that? I am pretty sure I did not.

 

[sangreal]

And his name used to be in red.

Or maybe Haly just use the same avatar as Technopathetic.

and same refusal to use the quote feature?

 

[Ryaaan14]

Makes my blood boil. Fucking pricks.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Yeah, the worse thing here is probably leaving a lion out in the snow in the first place.

 

[Loofy]

At least those people have the opportunity to defend themselves, and throw back.

Never said it was ok, just laughing at the 'Only in china can kids be so cruel' sentiment in this thread. We even got one racist calling for all them dog eating chinese to get ripped to shreds.

 

[Hawkian]

Now we put them in an enclosed space where they stand no chance of retaliating and let the lions decide how they want to prank them!!

 

[TimeEffect]

Is this the same zoo where visitors buy live chickens and other live animals to tie to a string, that then is dangled over the lion den, where all the hungry lions all take turns at swiping the chicken in an attempt to pull the chicken down, until it actually gets pulled down and torn to pieces as all the lions struggle to get a piece,, thereby making for an enjoyable attraction of "Chicken Pinata" for said visitors?

And I agree, throw these guys into a den, and throw snowballs at them. Then put it on Youtube. I don't know about throwing them into a lion's den though, it's just a damn snowball.

 

[ChimpBottle]

while we do a great many bad things, quite a few animals can be pretty cruel... cats for example.

If cats were capable of forming and throwing snowballs these lions need to stand up for themselves

 

[Kinyou]

Assholes.

Not much more to say.

Did I say that? I am pretty sure I did not.

Well maybe you should actually say what you want to say.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Dumbshits gonna dumbshit

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

If these were chimps, they would be throwing frozen turds back.

 

[adamsappel]

I thought this was going to be a feel-good story about lions playing in the snow for the first time. But instead it's a depressing story about multiple cruelties to captive animals.

 

[Burt]

Chinese zoos are generally the real life equivalent of that stereotypical Russian hellhole prison you see in movies, except for animals, obviously. The care, enclosures, regulations, and even safety procedures are abysmal, and oftentimes wholly unfit for holding exotic animals outside of their natural environment. On the upside, I did get to feed a live chicken to a tiger one time for like $15. Still not sure how I feel about that one.

Edit:

Yeah, I did that, it was tigers though. It's not as bad as it sounds, when tigers get their hands on a chicken it's generally over before the chicken hits the ground. Doubt they do it at the zoo in the article though.

 

[Aldebaran]

Then what did you mean with "It's a snowball, not a brick"?

 

[Jack Scofield]

China.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Terrible.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Then what did you mean with "It's a snowball, not a brick"?

He meant that while it was mean and kind of cruel - the posters here need to temper their outrage

 

[PumpkinPie]

Lions taking the piss out of the Chinese in return.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It's not torture? It's just waterboarding?

 

[Brazil]

Snowballs, with an s at the end, you prick.

Shut up you idiot.

China.

What the hell is happening in this thread?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

You can see the fur on their backs is up like they are threatened. And the lioness in the 3rd pic looks terrified. Shameful behavior.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What the hell is happening in this thread?

 

[SJRB]

Then what did you mean with "It's a snowball, not a brick"?

I meant exactly that. I don't approve of harassing these animals, but in the end snowballs are harmless.

The outrage in this thread seems out of bounds for the harm being done.

 

[Aguirre]

well there goes my smile

you happy now, gaf? ;_;

 

[Branduil]

It's not torture? It's just waterboarding?

Did you just compare getting hit with a snowball with torture?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

True but I'm sure the psychological damage will not disappear for quite some time.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

one thing i do not understand is why are they out in the cold they are not made for this cold. same thing goes for Toronto zoo we were out in December and lions and tigers were out iin the cold (-15)

Tigers are native to very cold climates, like Siberia. Lions are not, only the extinct European Lions were.


Classless people.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The only torture is watching Mavs games amirite?

 

[vilmer_]

Absolutely horrible. They look like they are malnourished as well.

 

[VanWinkle]

I think he's poking fun about his tag. But, I do want to say, if you were strapped down and had twenty or so people laughing and throwing snowballs at you, what would you call that?

 

[GhostWriter24]

Motherfuckers.

Go down into the pit and throw snowballs if you think it's so funny, let me know how it works out.

 

[Burt]

The third pic seems to have stairs to some sort of interior enclosure, which makes it less of an issue. I'm pretty sure the zoo closest to me leaves the doors between interior and exterior unlocked in the big cat exhibits. If the cats want out, might as well let them out.

Friday night.

 

[MYE]

Its always fucking china isnt it?

 

[Brazil]

Its always fucking china isnt it?

No, it isn't.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Lol it's kind of funny

Lions are assholes!

This is either a terrible opinion or terrible trolling, I can't tell. In either case its terrible.

 

[Miles X]

Makes me very sad, I would question why the zoo people didn't do anything but I guess they probably don't care.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

This is either a terrible fucking opinion or terrible fucking trolling.

they are not mutually exclusive

 

[Kaako]

If I saw this, I'd throw snowballs in the people's faces at point blank range and yell "Feels good, huh!?" And then run as I laugh hysterically.

 

[Loofy]

Christmas.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

they eat fucking dogs, I couldn't cares less about what happens to them I hope those lions scape and rip their body appart. Too bad they are the ones that are gonna rule the world though...

 

[beast786]

Still waiting for the typical "it's just an animal, who gives a shit" post.

How about its just a snow bowl, who gives a shit post?

 

[Neverwinter27]

Well what if it was a Panda that were hit with snowballs? If that happened in the US, they would cry bloody murder.

 

[Schattenjäger]

This is either a terrible opinion or terrible trolling, I can't tell. In either case its terrible.

Lol while I would never throw a snowball at an animal - I can see the humor in the absurdity in it.
I'm sure some of you would like to pelt a lion with a snowball after seeing one ravage a family of deers
