Lion kills woman at California sanctuary

A 26-year-old female intern was killed Wednesday afternoon by an African lion inside a cage at an exotic cat sanctuary in California, authorities said.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this critical time," said Dale Anderson, founder of Project Survival Cat Haven in Dunlap.

The lion, a 5-year-old, 350-pound cat named Cous Cous, was shot and killed, officials said.

    Rule 1: don't go into a wild animal environment. And that is the only rule.

    This person crossed the borders of an "WILD" endangered animal. Why was it killed? This defeats the cause..does it not?
