A man has been killed after he tried to preach to the lions in . I'm not making this up. Apparently, the unnamed 45-year old climbed into the lion enclosure, resisting efforts to stop him, shouting to astonished attendants that, ’Who believes in God will be unharmed by the lions’. He then tried to preach to the assembled lions, when a lioness fatally wounded him.

I doubt that inter-species evangelism is likely to take off, but I suppose this poor chap's theology is no more bizarre than those American Pentecostal snake-handlers who demonstrate their faith by lifting up poisonous rattlers, assured by , that God will reward their spiritual courage with protection.
