Kruger National Park visitors tease lions
A CICA video has gone viral showing visitors to the Kruger National Park teasing lions with a radio controlled car.
The video, posted on Facebook, received mixed emotions from the public.
One viewer, Jackie Mostert, wrote: "This is defnatly unacceptable . They are in the wild for a reason ! If they lived amongs the city people where the remote controle car came from used as a toy then maybe for they are used to this . Now every vechile drive by will be like a toy to the lions running after them putting unknowingly tourists at risk," while another commentor, Christopher John Furnell, wrote: " I don't really see the "teasing" part. To me it looks like a hd camera mounted on a radio controlled car. Pretty harmless to the lion and a loss to the owner of the car if the lion decided to play with it."
According to the video description, although Kruger Park prohibits such behaviour as it provokes animals, the incident has not been reported.
