good idea how about if they limit zoo entry to those with an IQ in the mid double didgits and higher?

Sorry, you're too stupid to be allowed in.

I am pretty sure that the last time I saw her/him she/he was paddling a canoe in an anti-litter commercial.

You're right. She bears a striking resemblance to Iron Eyes Cody, the American Indian actor who starred in a famous anti-pollution public service announcement in the 1970s. (At the end of the commercial, he turns towards the camera and you see a single tear running down his cheek.)

I think her suit has merit.

She was injured and suffered a loss. It is only right that the courts should do what they can to make her whole again.

She lost her middle finger trying to pet a lion.

The court needs to give her a middle finger in return.

Not to excuse the stupidity: but I’ve never been to a zoo where this could happen. There are usually barriers inhibiting such close contact (???)

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I wouldn’t generally wish bad things on people, but I have no sympathy for this woman. As I get older, I have fewer and fewer f***s to give, and this happening to her does not even fall on the radar. Sometimes you just have to let natural selection do it’s work, even if the process can be cruel and ugly.

Iron Eyes wasn’t an American Indian. He appears to have been Sicilian :-)

Anyone stupid enough to play "pet the kitty" with a lion is too stupid for any protection to save her. Throw the lawsuit out and fine the foolish woman court costs and lawyer fees for the defense.

How’s the lion?

Probably still hungry. Finger food is never very filling.

Well, I can tell you which finger she WON’T be using to press the Vote button.

Ummm, the worker told her to get away from the lion. There were signs warning people to keep away.
She is as stupid as she is ugly.
