Where Do They Find These People?

And I donÂ’t just mean the ding-bat who was killed in this incident, but also the official spokesman quoted in the article.

An animal lover was mauled to death by cheetahs after entering their cage at a zoo in northern Belgium, authorities and zoo officials said Monday.

Karen Aerts, 37, of Antwerp, was found dead in the cage, Olmense Zoo spokesman Jan Libot said. Police said they ruled out any foul play.

Authorities believe Aerts, a regular visitor to the zoo, hid in the park late Sunday until it closed and managed to find the keys to the cheetah cage.

"Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust," Libot said.

“The cheetahs betrayed her trust.”

Betrayed her trust?

They are freakin’ wild animals, aggressive carnivores that survive by hunting slower, dumber prey – like Ms. Aerts.

In-freakinÂ’-credible!

1 I'm still not convinced there was no foul play.  The cheetahs lured her close, disclosed the location of the keys and promised her who knows what to get her to enter the cage.

That's how they betrayed her trust, too.
