Hey, did you see where the colossal dumbass college student climbed into the panda exhibit for a hug, and wound up in the hospital for days with bites all over his arms and legs?  Story here.

“Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn’t expect he would attack,” Liu said from the hospital.

Hey man, a little wisdom for you:  wild animals don’t get “cute,” and for the most part, they don’t get “cross-species affection.”  Mostly animals are thinking “eat; don’t get eaten.  Eat; don’t get eaten.  Eat; don’t get eaten.”  If they get the idea that you’re going to mess with that, then well, they bite and stuff.

  1. My favorite animal attack story is the guy who, a couple of years or so ago, jumped into the lions pit at a zoo to convert them to Christianity. The guy survived and lions are still heathens, amazingly.

  2. Scott: Did you ever hear that terrible joke for which the punchline was “carrying young gulls over state lions for immortal porpoises”? Your comment reminded me of it. Thanks. Thanks a lot. :-)

  3. Nope, never heard that joke. When I first read the article about the guy with the lions I thought the heathen thing was a good punchline though.

  4. [...] if this woman avoids charges, she and the idiot who climbed into the panda bear’s cage to give him a hug can hang out. [...]
