It's not high-risk.

Drivers, builders, Conductors, Farmers, Fishermen, Police Officers, Firefighters, Logging workers, Miners, Roofers, Delivery Drivers, Power Linemen, Crane workers all carry higher risk.

I could list many more.

Safety guards, Electricians, Warehousing, General Factory Labour, Military etc.

stop capping...he was the one that raised the lion from cub to adult,so what's the hunger about...try dey use your brain for once

So what?

Did you look at the cat at all?

He kept the hungry lion and waiting for too long.

The usual AFRICAN TIME dealt with him!

TOPCRUISE:
Under Buhari a malnourished emaciated lion are kept to be patient. But under Tinubu, they have started not to gree for anybody.

I watched the video and it was so sad. The anger they shot the Lion shows how painful it is to see a beloved one killed in such a gruesome manner.
RIP to you Mr Olawuyi.

u mean thy killed the lion??right

finallybusy:
The man wasn’t killed for food. He was killed because his back was turned. Lions who killed for food would make short work of his skinny frame. I wish condolences to all parties involved. The last thing on his mind before death surely was “damn, I bleeped up.”

Doesn't look eaten....Looks like he was just mauled....

[quote author= post=128541227]Una See Wetin HUNGER Don Cause For MAN[/quote]He died from the hazard of the job and deserves some respect and not vilification. The authority who refused to upgrade the facilities for the underfed and angry beast 🦁 should be blamed.
You know not what shall happen to you.

Wild animal na wild animal.

There's always need to have a risk assessment put in place for high risk activities. There should always be mitigation/control measures to handle contingencies that might occur.

A beast will always remain a beast in spite of efforts to tame it.

Meanwhile, the report says the Lion has been euthanised. How is the direct shooting of the beast euthanasia? That is not mercy killing.

GloriousGbola:
seun osewa, please have your mods remove these pictures. is nairaland so desperate for clicks and content that this is now a gore porn site with no respect for peoples privacy?

if you or any member of your family was in a gruesome accident would you appreciate having your pictures spalshed across thsi forum for ghouls to comment over?

cc mynd44
cc dominique

I am sure they will want to ban you for teaching them to do what is right. How can they put that picture for heaven sake..these guys post pictures they shouldn't be posting and think tagging the post as "graphic" is enough. This man will have kids, it's enough for them reading some silly comments about their dad's death on your platform, remove his picture from this post
Nairaland mods should try to act responsibly on issues like this.

Rip

I love cats alot & would like to have lots of them as pet.
But I don't see myself owning or petting wild cats.
E ge reason!

Who released the pictures?
Totally wrong.

See The Previous Thread - https://www.nairaland.com/8005838/lion-kills-oau-staff-vc[/quote]The Lion should be killed also. Sampson knew what he was doing when he killed that Lion.

millionboi2:
u mean thy killed the lion??right

They shot at it with furious unforgivable anger. But I don't think they killed it because some colleagues at the scene quickly cautioned the shooters that it's enough in order not to cause issues

Investigation will reveal that adequate safety measures were not in place or not adhered to..
Sad event nonetheless.

sammirano:
Alright, but what I meant is when an animal kills a person, it's put down.

Sorry I meant anaesthesia

Major7:

Dude,can you please stop playing with everything and please don't give me that crap of "na where naija-cover dey work e dey see food chop" abeg

Where Do You want person to chop from na?

Investigation needs to be done.
Did he go into the cage to feed the animal? I doubt that.

Investigate abeg.

Can you just pretend u have conscience at all even though we're aware u do not.

Massiveglory:
Tinubulation effect.
Probably the lion's meal was suddenly rationed due to high cost from tinubulation calamity.

The lion could no longer bear the hunger.

Euthanized!

YES

Very sad, what could have gone wrong


Big cats are unpredictable, It is possible to tame lions and make them tolerant enough to follow certain instructions. However, they are not like dogs and can exhibit unpredictable behaviors even when considered professionally tamed.

In general, tamed lions are not exactly tamed. They are just subdued. They can still act out and pose a danger to caregivers and other people.

The lion was probably hungry as well.

May his soul rest in peace

you watch animal documentaries where lion play with tourists inside small car(not really car)? Why those lion don't attack tourists? They are not cage and they hustle for their own food. Maybe the lion in zoo not properly fed

BeeKeeper

Just see the criminal as e dey looks like innocent

Must he enter the cage to feed?

Let me ask you this... What is your chance of survival when you encounters a lion?


I didn't say the ones you listed are not risky or less risky but I difer in your judgement that it is not a risky job.

Here are some risks involved:

Potential for Attacks: Lions are powerful predators with sharp teeth and claws. Despite being in captivity, they still retain their instinctual behaviours, including aggression. There's always a risk of a lion attacking the keeper, especially during feeding times when they are most active and excited.

Close Proximity to Dangerous Animals: Keepers must work in close proximity to lions, often within the same enclosure. This proximity increases the likelihood of accidental contact or aggression from the lions.

Unpredictable Behaviour: Even well-trained lions can exhibit unpredictable behaviour. Factors such as changes in environment, health issues, or hormonal fluctuations can influence their behaviour, making it difficult for keepers to anticipate their actions.

Handling Raw Meat: Feeding lions involves handling raw meat, which can carry bacteria and pathogens that pose health risks to keepers. There's also a risk of injury from sharp bones or tools used during the feeding process.

Equipment Malfunction: The equipment used for feeding, such as gates, barriers, or feeding tools, can malfunction, potentially putting keepers in dangerous situations if they're inside the enclosure with the lions.

Physical Demands: Feeding large carnivores like lions requires physical strength and agility. Keepers may need to lift heavy carcasses or navigate uneven terrain within the enclosure, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

Stress and Fatigue: Working with dangerous animals in a high-pressure environment can lead to stress and fatigue, which can impair judgment and increase the likelihood of accidents or injuries.

Overall, the combination of working with powerful predators, handling raw meat, and being in close proximity to unpredictable animals makes feeding lions in a zoo a high-risk job that requires specialized training, strict safety protocols, and constant vigilance.

Una minor brain always revolve around money. No de occur to small mind that some work with animals because they love to. Money gains is the least of their considerations
