SANTIAGO, CHILE — Two lions were killed after attacking a man who stripped naked and jumped into their enclosure in an apparent suicide attempt in Chile early on Saturday.
The man climbed over the fence and took off his clothes before approaching the lions, according to a statement posted on the Santiago Metropolitan Zoo's Facebook page.
It all started when Franco Luis Ferrada, 20, climbed on top of the lion pen and then forced his way into the cage. Witnesses said the lions ignored Ferrada at first, but attacked after he taunted them.
