Other creatures may be fucking assholes, but lions are cool.

[A 12 year old Ethiopian] girl, missing for a week, had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them, said Sgt. Wondimu Wedajo, speaking by telephone from the provincial capital of Bita Genet, about 350 miles southwest of Addis Ababa.

She was beaten repeatedly before she was found June 9 by police and relatives on the outskirts of Bita Genet, Wondimu said.


Wow, people suck. Luckily there were some lions around, and they may have mistaken her whimpering as the mewling of a lion cub.

She had been guarded by the lions for about half a day, he said.

"They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest," Wondimu said.

"If the lions had not come to her rescue, then it could have been much worse. Often these young girls are raped and severely beaten to force them to accept the marriage," he said.


Four of the men have been captured, three are still on the loose. None of them were eaten.

I read this story this morning and thought it was awesome. It would have been even more awesome if the kidnappers had been attacked though.

Cheers for lions. Would have been nice to have the lions rape the rapists, though. Damn Lions, always doing everything all half-assed.

Rather out of character for the lions. I like all of the big cats, except lions. . . have you ever seen footage of a pack of lions eating? The look like demonic rats, fighting each other over a single carcass, all covered in blood. Hardly a noble sight.

Horrific, actually. I'll stick with the solitary tiger, thanks.

Still, way to go lions!

First of all, kudos to whoever came up with the headline. I was laughing out loud for a good minute.

Second, male lions definitely ARE assholes. They will kill any cubs they come across that were sired by another male. Given that this girl was saved by a group of lions, I can only assume that they were female.

Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where most of the country's 71 million people live.
