I think I saw one in a zoo when I was really young (my godfather took me) and at the time it was a fun experience, but I won't be seeing one again unless I go on safari: I am strongly objected to any and all animal captivity and most certainly will not pay to see it. Sadly, my godfather died recently at a very young age from health complications resulting from severe obescity, but I'm very very glad I got to spend that time with him. He was a good man and I miss him - I'd always wished he could fight the addiction before it took him.Originally Posted by Alive-Man
No, not only because that would be completely disregarding the whole "animals with minds like humans" theme and Aslan's benevolent, almost God-like nature, not to mention that would be letting the White Witch win, because the four human children are needed on the thrones of Narnia. Well - maybe Edmund, but after he was asked for forgiveness and was granted it he wasn't a jerk anymore.
In modern day yes, because dinosaurs were extinct - but back when they weren't, the T-rex wins, hands-down (if lions were even around back then, a T-Rex could easily crush a lion in it's jaws in one bite).
I don't want to die being mauled by a lion - generally they're not at a lack for food, considering they're at the top of the food chain: very effective predators, and even if they were I would not want to be their dinner regardless. It'd be a horrible way to die - quite painful before the relief of death, which might take a while if his jaws sunk in not-immediately-lethal areas first. Ouch!Would you be unhappy if a lion ate you, or would you feel it was a fitting sacrifice to the continuation of the lion species; "dulce et decorum est pro patria lion", as one might say.
