Ever been to the zoo? Nice isn’t it? I went a couple of weeks back, there were two sleepy lions and some penguins. I had an ice cream.
What I didn’t have, however, is the mind-numbingly dangerous experience being offered in Argentina right now, where the Lujan Zoo, near Buenos Aires, has decided it’s cool to let people (in the words of Ronnie James Dio), ride the tiger. And the lions. And maybe stick their head in a crocodile’s mouth too.
Seems business isn’t that great down South America way, so zookeepers came up with the “controversial” (read:stupid) idea of letting you get up and personal with some of the most dangerous predators on the planet. Unfortunately, it’s strictly for adult guests so far, presumably so children can watch safely as their idiot parents are devoured.
