MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Zoo officials have banned a woman after saying she climbed over a barrier to the enclosure where lions are kept and tried to feed them cookies.

The unidentified woman's actions were reported by other zoo patrons, who saw her jump the barrier and heard her singing to the animals. After the barrier, only wire separates guests from the lions inside the enclosure.

Now, did they ban her for trying to feed them a bad diet, or for not offering herself up for dinner? Shocked

THAT whackjob certainly sounds like a "temporary" American, doesn't she !?!

NEXT week's newspaper headline: "Mystery Cookie Woman Loses Head Serenading Lions at Zoo !"

What is it with people hopping into zoo exibits? I know there was a guy who got mauled for trying to put a ei on a lion, there was a woman who got bitten after trying to pick flowers in a wolf exibit, and I'm fairly sure someone got trampled by an elephant.

Do they assume the moats and fences are there just for funsies?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it seems like a lot of people now take this knee-jerk attitude that anything said by an authority figure must be wrong ... maybe they're the same type that thinks you can cure cancer with baking soda or fix the economy by going back to the gold standard ...

Then again, maybe the people who climb into zoo exhibits are the descendants of that first brave/crazy person who saw a wild horse and said, "You know what? I bet I could ride that sucker" Smile

Maybe PETA is inspiring them to commune with the beasties.
