Poet swaps places with lions

A Chinese poet, who has locked himself inside a cage surrounded by lions, has been speaking about the stunt.



Yu Fu and a female assistant from china locked themselves inside a cage surrounded by lions for ten days as part of an experiment. They only ate raw meat and drank water in an attempt to live like the animals /Lu Feng

Ye Fu, 28, and a female assistant aim to stay inside the cage inside the lion enclosure at Qingdao Forest Wildlife World for ten days.

They are eating only raw meat and drinking water in an attempt to live like caged animals.

Ye Fu said: "This is a form of performing arts. By swapping positions, I try to feel the feelings of caged animals, hoping this can arouse people's attention of animal rights."

The female admirer Luo Xianhui, 26, quit her job to join him inside the cage. They are also denying themselves access to telephones, books, newspapers, radio and TV.

To go to toilet, they use plastic bags, which are collected daily by zoo staff, reports Bandao News.

If you gave this guy a gun and let the lions in, he'd forget about animal rights in a hurry.

Well, survival is a right (animal or human) :P

Why lions? Why not start off with something a little gentler? Pandas maybe? Even monkeys! And eating raw meat is not exactly a healthy practice.

I can totally see the point.  Those poor lions have to go every day without telephones, books, newspapers, radio and TV.  Things we all take for granted.


ANIMAL RIGHTS NOW!!!!!!



Hippies are so fucking stupid

I love how they are looking at the inhabitants of that cage hungrily.

It almost looks like two kittens trying to get at the delcious canaries.
