Tug-of-war with a lion: UK zoo's bizarre big cat challenge sparks backlash
[msn.com]
While I'm not a big fan of zoos, in general, they can be educational. I don't really like the idea of locking up wild animals, unless they are not releasable to the wild. This activity doesn't appear harmful, and the kind of action/motion replicated herein is similar to natural activities, so I wouldn't get too upset about it. Not something I'd do myself, though.
