While the shocking video with graphic imagery ended with the lion letting go of the man after a loud gunshot was fired. The reports informed about Hodge to be recovering in a hospital. However, no word was out on what happened to the attacking lion. Well, viewers슬롯사이트� worst fears came true as the Hodge family announced Shamba was killed in order to free the Briton safari owner from the lion슬롯사이트™s clutches!

When the viral footage of Michael Hodge entering the lion슬롯사이트™s enclosure and eventually grabbed like a chicken by Shamba circulated on the internet, it started a string of questions.

So, what exactly go wrong? Well, a lot.

While social media is condemning the killing of Shamba, the tragedy is personal for the Hodge family patriarch. Michael, 72, who set up the 120-acre Marakele Predator Center in 2010 had raised Shamba as a lion cub exactly ten years in 2008.

Unfortunately, it too became a ground where a lion was killed for being a lion! In the wake of this incidence, Marakele Predator Park is closed with the Hodge family receiving death threats from angry protesters.
