An intern at a big cat sanctuary in Dunlap, Calif., was killed after being attacked by a lion
"The lion was also killed," said CalFire spokesman Ryan Michaels
The incident occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Sierra Cat Haven in Dunlap, a small town in Fresno County near King's Canyon National Park, authorities said.
The worker was inside the cat enclosure when the attack occurred, officials said. It was not immediately clear what the worker was doing inside the closure, or what prompted the attack.

Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do... you know, going into the same room as a lion.

That sucks but it makes you wonder why he was in their in the first place
Maybe he was trying to commit suicide?

Why the hell would he go in there?
Especially with no help...
He was planning his own death

It's unfortunate he died, but what was he thinking?
I wouldn't go near a lion if it was in a cage.
