@ai6yr Poor kid!
I wonder if the lion was sick or injured because that's not normal behavior for them.
Not my favorite park in the area. It's around the center of a lot of deaths and disappearances in Malibu. Right off a major road, even, but out of sight. There's a girl scout camp down the road.
@ai6yr amazing that the article can state the shooting was in self-defense. I thought that was up to juries.
@ai6yr Wow. When I was a kid, about a hundred years ago, that was one of my family's favorite places to go for a picnic. Sorry to see it's changed so much.
