Egyptian "Man" Going to Fight Lion!!!

[Parker]

Given the current state of the economy, it comes as no surprise that many Egyptians are doing all that they can to revive international interest in their country. What is surprising, though, is that one man has somehow managed to convince himself - and a few others - that he can single-handedly “boost tourism in Egypt” by fighting a full-grown African lion in direct hand-to-paw combat, in front of the Pyramids at Giza.

Inexplicably, al-Sayed al-Essawy, a 25-year-old from Daqahlia, has come to believe that “the world will flock to see the Egyptian man who defeated a lion with his bare hands.”

The fight, or “battle” as Essawy, prefers to call it, was announced two weeks ago, immediately igniting a firestorm of international protests and online petitions from individuals and animal rights organizations alike. The negative reaction surprised Essawy, prompting the self-proclaimed “strongest man in the world” to

admit to being “confused and heart-broken.”

Nonetheless, Essawy insists that the fight is still on, even if he has to stage the battle in a secret location.

Why in the FUCK did they not drive the cars into the lions. I mean, just drive over him, better to be run over than eaten alive for fuk sakes. Wow, they were a bunch of quick thinkers

This guy is a pure moron. A lion is far more dangerous than a dog, dude is going to get savaged and then they will shoot the poor thing for finishing what he started anyway. Fucking backwards countries or what.

If you listen to the video he said that because of the terrain they could not drive towards the lions

[Reeves]

I feel bad for the lion as he's getting the equivalent of some perverse McDonald's "Stinky Meal".

petitions from individuals and animal rights organizations alike.

  The animal rights groups feel sorry for the lion who will get a very hearty meal, but not for the meal itself just because it's Human and we all know how evil Humans are and even if the Human is getting eaten by a predator, it must somehow be the Human's fault.

  Peta approved...

  "Al-Masry: When is fighting a lion not a matter of life or death?

Essawy: It’s up to the lion. If he chooses to withdraw, or surrender, and lets me tie him up, then I will not kill him and the fight will end. But, like I said, if it comes down to either me or him, I will have to kill him. But I don’t want to kill the lion, nor am I planning on it. I want to make that clear."

  Wow. Just wow. Seriously. This guy definitely deserves the Darwin Award.

I'm sure Al-Masry has as good a chance of snapping the spine of the lion as a certain other getbigger has of snapping the spine of a german shepherd.

Fake

[G_Thang]

that's so fake.  the lion that jump on his back was a younger male.  then, all of a sudden at the fest, it became an older male. 

and i love the lioness who just rolled on him and yawned, instead of going for the neck which is instinctive for all big cats.

anyway, nicely done.

You just want to believe its fake because the whole scene is just to horrific for you. Sweet dreams. 

BTW I´ve slept in a tent for 2 days in the Okavango delta, surrounded with all kinds of animals like elephants, hippo´s, and lions. At night you don´t go outside for a walk, believe me.

I think a well peaked Jay Cutler could beat up the lion
