<p>Su, a professional photographer, said the attack happened just seconds after a flock of crows chased the eagle into the lion enclosure around 4 p.m. </p>

That's why wild animals shouldn't be in zoos or be trained.

I don't like that zoo, we have tried to get it shut down, and the big problem is what to do with all the animals. BTW I have never visited it either, they won't get my money.

This is so horrible. Sadly noted.

I cannot figure out how on earth the golden eagle, which was part of an exhibit, got loose enough to be harassed by crows and fly away, only to be eaten by the lioness. There SHOULD have been better monitoring of that eagle, and it seems irresponsible for that zoo to allow this, especially since this golden eagle was not a stray wild one. Black Tiger, I don't blame you--I would not give any money to a zoo that is irresponsible toward its charges.

I'm at a loss to figure out what the hell these zoos are thinking half the time. At a bigger loss to figure out why they exist at all.
