That’s a pretty dinky fence to be holding back a death kitten.
If death kitten, why friendshaped?
I think thats just for mutual understanding, if death kitty _really_ wanted to get out it could climb it
Yeah, I’ve seen walking dead. A comedian had a funny bit about ..did a WD writer get fired from a fence company?!
Someone is going to see that lion with a shoe, or just a shoe in the enclosure and get freaked out
Should put a turkey leg in a shoe and throw it in.

They deliberately stuck their foot in between the fence hole, didn't they? Seems like a classic case of 'play stupid games...'
Probably teasing the lion, serves him right losing his shoe
What type of janky enclosure is that? Thats not exactly the strongest fence in the world.
Nah it's fine she's a chill cat. She won't jump out.
reddit loves posting blatant exotic animal abuse and ignoring all the issues with it
Just be happy you got to keep all your toes
That’s what I was thinking. Take the fucking shoe, just leave the toes.
Video above this is a women getting her face eaten by a bear and then this one get his food almost eaten by a lion… are people just completely stupid.
Yes
\*foot
Why would they stick their shoe into a flimsy fence to begin with? It sucks that the lion didnt get to eat them!
Dumb humans...I'm sure the point was to get a photo for social media ...I mean, they succeeded.
where is this so I can never ever go there
The lion enclosure
Should have worn Pumas

Why taunt it by putting your shoe between the links? This is a lesson lol at least you got toes
Because stupid people do stupid things

I love the strut and just how proud the lioness is of obtaining a new toy. Wish the video was a tad bit longer though
Right lol. My cat walks around the same exact way when he successfully catches his prey (aka his stuffed mousey toy) 😂
Better that than your toe.
Should be listed under "well, that was stupid" rather than "well, that sucks"
... why would they even put themselves in this situation
WHY DOES THE FENCE HAVE HAND SIZED HOLES?!
So you can pet the cute kitty?
The sheer satisfaction on her face! She's so proud!
My cat does the exact same pose and expression when he’s successfully “killed” a toy! Hilarious to see it on a big cat, lol
This is a win stupid prizes moment. I don't know what game the one shoe wonder played, but I know they won the stupid prize.
I guess its a good thing they didnt stick their hand in! Idiots
Just the shoe? Darn
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Love that she's just parading around her spoils of war lol
These shit ass zoos make me so mad
Do stupid shit, win stupid Prizes...
When will people learn to stay the fuck away from wild animals man
I'd have grabbed a long piece of grass and tried tickling it's nose to get it to let go
"I'll just let him 'smell' my foot."
I'm surprised they let the shoe go. I was expecting this to go far worse
Lioness
Yeah, can't really dispute the circle of life on that one.
She's so proud of herself with that shoe in her mouth 🥹🙏🏻
Oh man, they were such pretty new shoes too
If only it was a puma
HaSHOEna matata
My dog must be part lion…
Someone get a floss pick for Claude. He did it again
It’s a well trained big kitty otherwise they would have broken out of that fence if they really intended to do harm.
Also that fences holes are definitely not big enough for the shoe to go through. Those people had to have thrown it later

Welp it’s gone now.. 😂😂😂
Kitty wants shoe, kitty has shoe
Honestly keeping the foot here is the victory. Shoes can be replaced a lot easier.
People who do stupid shit like this should be fed to lions.
HOW??!?
Well, that socks...
This is so funny 😆 In NJ, there’s the Popcorn Zoo, and the lions are rather friendly with the same type of fence. I was able to pet them behind the ears

I don't like the word "welp"
Kinda cute how proud she is of her new shoe.
You should share the video with Nikes PR.
Served them right, they chose to stick there foot INSIDE the fence... I hope the walk to the car is filled with a lot of Legos or similar things...
Just give him the other now and they can make up a story how it’s the shoes of the guy he ate for being an idiot
Just give him the shoe!
Probably mistook it for a springbok
They were very lucky it was a gentle juvenile.
FAFO
I’m thee captain now
