Lions Save Girl From Being Beaten And Raped, Incredible Story
“ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — A 12-year-old girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors, a policeman said Tuesday.”

The story is a little bit older and maybe you have seen it, but to those that do not think animals know the difference between good and wickedness, I suggest you read this incredible story.

Lions are noble guardians -_- People call animals stupid, but that belief is the most moronic shit ever.

They just KNOW. We gotta reconnect to that side of ourselves.

Great find OP!

cool story bra
This is the fate of man. He must strive for that which he cannot attain. He must believe in that which he cannot prove. He must seek that which he cannot find. He must travel a road without knowing his destination. Only thus can the purpose of life be fulfilled.

For I tell you, God will not do things you are too apathetic to do for yourselves.

Animals most certainly have a sense of right and wrong. Why would dogs protect the usually not deserving of protection humans that house them?

No such thing as evolution or devolution, just people who've lost their way. Don't be so hard on your fellow man. Man is not evil, he is not good, he is not anything - He gets to create that. Difference between us and other animals. Some choose good, some choose evil, some choose the Middle Path...

But judge not, lass.

Just your opinion of course. Despite all the technology, all the entertainments & education that is available to us, we are now treating our fellow man worse than ever. I see this as a species that is devolving imo.

That girl was probably Coptic - the Church of Alexandria started by my good friend John Mark (second Gospel).

His Icon is always pictured with the Lion which is kinda his mascott to the Coptics.

Tradition states that John Mark's Old Man got saved when John Mark prayed and kept a Lion from attacking the two.

Really cool story...

No, you see whether it was god, animal instinct, or just luck, wicked people were defeated and a innocent life was spared. I am not all religious but I remember a passage in the bible where God said, “if there is one righteous man in the city, I will spare the city.”

When my good friend went to Iraq in the beginning of the war, I asked him, “what’s it like, are the people all crazy and shit?” He said. “To be honest, the culture is different but most people are just trying to protect their family and survive like anywhere else.”

You see, we all do things that are not right from time to time, that just being human. However, a small portion of the population (maybe 5%) is different, they are truly dark souls. These are the elites that enslave us and the gangsters that terrorize us, and their day is coming. There are more of us than there are of them. This story reminded me to not be afraid to stand up for what is right; help can come from any place, even the animals around us.

"Everyone thinks this is some kind of miracle, because normally the lions would attack people," Wondimu said.

From the link.


That is not altogether true.

Few predatory species will engage humans without provocation. Most predators will ignore or even fear a new species in its environment, all but shunning the creature.

It is us humans that have engaged other species before, hunting them down or provoking them thus causing the angst.

A lion, or a bear, or another other predator that has never meet a human before will avoid a human, unless that human does something to upset the beast like go after the children, come too close to the nest/den.

Bears, lions, etc that do attack on sight have had run ins with humans before and knows that humans poise a threat.

Animals will warn you off, if you ignore the warning then they attack, usually the warning is a display that should scare a normal human being into backing off. Usually, but there are people who thinks its real fun to poke a bear (or a lion or whatever).

Good for the lions, they are probably trying to change the below practice.

"Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia (search). The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where most of the country's 71 million people live."

Much more than just a case of "mistaken identity" god I hate when that type of spin is put on a story. Also "why the lions did not eat a girl"...wtf? there's only been one case of man eating lions seeking to kill humans for more than just self defense. Those were the Tsavo lions if anyone is interested.

Re: Lions Save Girl From Being Beaten And Raped, Incredible Story
Almost all cases of predatory cats eating humans has been because they had disabilities that made it impossible for them to catch their normal prey. One tigress had a bullet in her shoulder that had gone septic as well as some other man made injuries. One tiger had teeth blown off from a gun. If they are attacking us it is likely because WE have done something to THEM.

What a touching story. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

You better do a bit more reading my friend. Lions kill and eat people every year in a number of African countries and there have been many many eating lions since such things were kept track of. The Tsavo lions are of note because of the number of people they killed and they worked as a team, but they are far from being unique as far as big cats eating humans.

There have also been regular man eating leopards and of course tigers.......... read Jim Corbett's books.

You do not hear a lot about it these days as it is bad for tourism. As are polar bear attacks and sharks nabbing the odd swimmer.
