9What the Park ranger had to say

Smith also said “Only those who work in the wild know the speed of a lion and it could have torn the arm off the person touching it. It would have the power to pull that tourist straight out of that window and kill them instantly in front of their friends. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do. “If the lion had killed this person then game rangers would probably have had to have killed it and if it was the pride male it could have serious consequences.” He added.
