Makes you glad we don't have to face that, just going for a walk!

I wonder who’s going to tell the lions they made a mistake regarding this “accident”.

 

[sestoppelman]

As well they seemed more concerned about the "rescue" of the lion.

 

[Randy F]

Well of course. The hungry lions were just in the wrong place at the wrong time when they accidentally mistook a human being for a pork chop. The aggressive behavior displayed during the “rescue” was certainly due to their confusion about their mistake. Clearly they’ll need to be rescued in order to attain the proper counseling and psychological medications necessary for them to cope with this horrible accident…for years to come.

Tragic.

These Poor Lions are running out of space,the staff of this Gir Forest Reserve has done excellent Job in trying to save the Asiatic Lion but they are running out of Space.Not an Inch of Land has been added to the original Reserve and the Population of Lions is on the rise.Human- Animal conflict is bound to rise as the Prey base is shrinking.More competition,the Lions have started entering villages around the buffer area in search of prey {Cattle}.
These Lions were the most Tolerant Big Cats people would have ever seen,lying meters away from Humans and never showing any aggression,most of the Foresters in and around Gir would carry sticks while patrolling with no incidents,now it ends.
Tragic.

Its not about running out of space, it is about not doing actual relocation of lions to other reserves or national parks of India. Not doing is key word.
Moreover Asiatic lion former natural range was up to coast of Mediterranean. Relocation to other countries national parks and reserves in lions former natural range can also be considered.

What's stopping the Asiatic lions of Gir from getting a new home?

Gujarats refusal to move some of Girs lions to Madhya Pradesh despite the death of 24 lions has more to do with politics than the effectiveness of translocation

Lets pray that it happens,would be wonderful to see the Asiatic Lion back on its former Natural Range.

Despite lions being a top predator, it is unusual for them to attack humans!
