Zookeeper Mauled by Lion
| |
PANAMA CITY, Fla.
- A 500-pound African lion mauled a zookeeper who had stepped into the animal's cage Thursday to pose for a magazine photo.
George Koll, 61, was attacked in the head and throat by the male lion. He was listed in critical but stable condition Thursday at Gulf Coast Medical Center. Koll's nurse, Tracy Schroeder, said he would remain in intensive care through Thursday night. "He's stable. He's doing fine," she said. Koll, who owns 77 Zoological Park in Southport, was giving a tour to several reporters for the Jehovah's Witnesses' Awake magazine when a photographer asked him to step inside the lion's cage for a photo, officials said. "He does it all the time," Steve Kirk, a zoo employee, told The News Herald of Panama City. "He's never had a problem with him. He goes in with all the big cats." The lion, named Samson, was calm when he entered, then Koll stumbled and fell to the ground and the lion pounced, dragging him across the cage. The photographer jumped into the cage with a stick and pried the lion off of Koll, zoo employees said. Samson is one of two lions at the zoo, which opened eight years ago and has more than 400 animals. Officials said there are no plans to euthanize the lion.

Yawn!!!!
I would imagine this fax is a complete work of fiction.
This seminar has been planned for months, and is the training and updates for the KMS supplementry courses to be held in early Oct in the UK.
However I'm sure that Bills name will be brought up, with the usual disfellowshipped apostate nonsense.

You little beauty Ozzie!
Yes Rosemount is available in the UK, Asda Sainsburys etc
I normally drink the grenache shiraz but will see if I can get a few drops of your choice.
I normally use a wine glass the size of a gold fish bowl, to let the wine breathe (Yeh right.)
Hearty Cheers

Ahh the plot thickens.
If Caspian, you are right about Ashbourne.
That could mean that up to 5 senior bethel elders are involved.
Bod if you are reading this please please please examine your conscience carefully
