Violet D'Mello was petting the "tame" cats Mistake # 1. There is a reason these are called "wild" animals. People have no business getting close to them or treating them like domesticated animals.

I’ve been there before. They have a bunch of cheetahs lounging around like house cats. I was a little nervous wandering around, but I sure as hell wouldn’t bring little kids in.

Nice of the husband to document their vacation while his wife is getting chewed by a wild animal.

Dumbass liberals. Want all animals and humans to live as one. This looks like that was coming true. “Living as one”. Just one...him.

Violet D'Mello was petting the "tame" cats A tame animal is more than just raised by humans from birth so they aren't quite as wild. It took hundreds or thousands of generations of domesticating wolves and only allowing the calmer, more compliant ones to breed while killing, castrating or at least chasing off the wilder ones to turn them into domesticated dogs. And even they will occasionally revert to their instincts and kill people.
Cats on the other hand have been breeding humans for thousands of years to make us more compliant to their needs.

Big cat expert Graham Kerley, from the Centre for African Conservation Ecology, warned: Cheetahs are wild animals, and adult cheetahs have the capacity to hurt very badly.WHO KNEW????

Perhaps this is one of the reasons the late Pope John Paul preached against eco-tourism.
Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave that human’s have decided to take Disney’s humanization of animals so literally! WTH, is wrong with normally intelligent people and the way they interface with critters?

Don’t forget that humans have evolved and along the long walk from Olduvai Gorge to now - we learned how to make nifty coats from cats.

I can hear her husband now, during the attack.. “Oh yes, honey.. Hold it right there.. No? Darn! Wait, that’s it, yeah yeah.. Get her get her! Oh this is rich.. Click click.. Click *(chuckle)* click click click”

Allow me to be cruel for a moment - how great would that be?
I have more than a few ex girlfriends that I wouldn't mind having mauled by a wild animal now and then. You know, to lift my spirits when I'm having a bad day.

Are its teeth bigger than mine? Check.
Are its claws bigger than mine? Check.
Can it run WAY WAY faster than me? Check.
Does it not give a flying fig about me, other than how I taste? Check.
I ain’t petting that thing.
