Cheetah running down the road in BC and now a Lion out in Ontario.
Reading some of the coverage on this story was interesting to see some reporting the lion had been "executed", "shot", "put down", etc.
At least hunters were not blamed, Yet!
All file pictures not one of this not so famous Lion.
A zoo owner shot and killed a male lion that had escaped from its enclosure at a small private zoo near Wendover Sunday afternoon.
Officers from Hawkesbury OPP rushed to the scene and found the African lion walking near the entrance of Papanack Park Zoo, an unfenced area. There was no way to contain the animal, police say, and the zoo owner was forced to shoot it around 5 p.m., a little more than an hour after police were called.
