I don't really know - it was just a notice in the paper. Somehow it seemed
as if it were in the wilderness but that was of course due to the way it was
written. I noticed it because it seems such a horrible way to die.

When the Copenhagen Zoo had been renewed many years ago I once came to stand
5 to 10 inches from a male lion. We looked each other in the eye and at
least I shuddered even if it was an exciting experience. Well, there was a
bullet proof glass of 5 to 10 inches thick between us but it was absolutely
new with no scratches on either side.
