The lion should not even be there in the first place. He is the king of the jungle, yet mankind are trying "tame" him for circus. Can you imagine what kind of shitty life that would be for the lion? And that motherfucking cop shot the lion 3 times! Where the hell was the tranquilizer gun?! At least have the proper equipment if you are going to try keeping a lion in a cage. We kill millions of animals each day, yet we get upset a lion almost succeeded killing that guy? Do you see the irony? Because the irony is glowing right in front of my face!
As much inhumane and unfair as they did with the lion, it was really the only viable thing to do in such situation. Though I agree with your sentiment, it wasn't lion's fault to begin with. There are people who manage to get friends with wild animals, but messing with them without having been fully prepared for that is just stupid, and this guy got punished for his stupidity.

Obviously, in any situation with dangerous animals, there should be tranquilizer guns close at hand. Lions, bears, tigers, cougars, even large dogs and pigs. I once was at a circus where a panther attacked the trainer. The panther was shot with a tranquilizer dart and everything was OK afterwards (I think they gave the panther to a zoo). If it takes 45 minutes to get help, obviously the circus was extremely unprepared for the attack.
I'm shocked they waited so long without doing anything to help that poor guy.
When there was no other equipment like the Tranquilizer gun around, the lion should be shot immediately after it got clear he wouldn't let go of him. Although I agree that it was not the lions fault, there is still a huge difference between a human life and a animal one, which should hopefully be obvious unless retarded.
That's the first track off this album, Waveman ~ Fly Me To The Sunshine... I love Alph Lyla <3
Edit: It's not the whole song.. he cut out the best part ;_; Here you go:

Wow, two pleasant surprises in one video! Will It Blend is funny again, and iPhone has an extremely durable screen (sustained five or six strikes before breaking).

What a crazy coincidence, our daily newspaper wrote a big article about this lion attack just today!
It seems we got the story a bit wrong, so I decided to scan it in for those who are interested:

According to this newspaper, the attacked man was in fact a nurse, who just had to clean up the cage. It wasn't the first time he entered it with this lion inside.
Here my translation of that article. I did my best and hope there are no major translation mistakes:
He just wanted to clean up the cage. Suddenly the lion attacked him!
Drama in a circus in Mashad (Iran):
A lion lacerated his nurse. Another attendant vainly tried to help him. In the last moment a police man shoot the predator down. The victim suffered a asystole, but could get reanimated. The shocking pictures come from a private video. At the end of the video a fellow of the nurse tells: "My friend was already many times in the cage. Today I warned him though, because the lion seemed to act anxiously. But he didn't listen to me."
So yeah, he was near dead already. And all because of human stupidity to wait so long before taking action to help him...

Didn't know there were so many videos about "lion attacks". Pretty funny.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."
