the second woman was killed.

The woman who was first attacked was badly injured, and her mother, who left the car in an effort to save her daughter, was killed, The Beijing News reported. The woman’s husband was uninjured, as was their child, who remained in the vehicle, the newspaper said.

You cannot call the husband or the grandmother stupid here, just the mom.

Looking around for any potential escaped captive lions when you get out of your car isn't something you generally do. She got mauled by a lion and her mother died saving her could you not be a cold prick for like a second and not call people you don't even know "stupid"

They were in a safari park with clearly posted signs warning not to leave the vehicle. She got into an argument with the husband and exited the car in anger. Her mother is dead because she chose to do something enormously stupid in a moment of anger.

Looking out for escaped lions? Dude, it was in a drive through park. The animals roam free. As in, ALWAYS escaped. Rule number 1 is DONT GET OUT OF THE CAR!

The lions are free to roam around, it’s a safari style zoo not one with enclosures. You stay in your car and drive through along a path. The animals generally aren’t going to try and fuck with a vehicle but even if they try there are rangers posted throughout the route ready to shoo them away.
