Crazy People Are Paying Money to Be Stalked by Hungry Lions and Tigers

Go to a zoo and look at animals. It’s kind of boring. But not at the Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo in Chongquing, China. The managers there have figured out a way to make visiting their animals more exciting. For a fee, people can get inside a cage on the back of a truck which drives into the enclosures of lions and tigers.

To get the lions and tigers into the right mood, the zookeepers also tie hunks of raw meat to the cages. Chris Perez writes for the New York Post:

“We wanted to give our visitors the thrill of being stalked and attacked by the big cats but with, of course, none of the risks,” said zoo spokeswoman Chan Liang. “The guests are warned to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times because a hungry tiger wouldn’t know the difference between them and breakfast.”

The chilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience has been a hit with visitors — the trips have been sold out for the next three months, according to CEN.

Not only do they tie on hunks of meat, they also release live cows to be torn to bloody pieces by the tiger pack while Chinese tourists giggle and snap photos.
