The boy went into an area off-limits to the public and touched a lion through
the mesh fence.
The lion quickly sank its teeth into his arm and dragged him under the fence
before the curator came, drove the four adult lions in the enclosure away and
rescued the teenager.
"It just shows a total disregard and disrespect for wild animals," said
Cameron.
The boy was luckier than a couple from Taiwan in 1993, who got out of their
car to photograph lions up close at a South African game park -- and who were
quickly savaged to death by the beasts.
