burn in fire or get eaten by lions?
Longleat were just offering the Lions a cooked meal 
One such occasion a automatic under bonnet extinguisher would have been useful
Ithink they shouid have a jeep in convoy of visitor's.
ibet this will change how they run the place in future',
the kids & the lady must of been scared half to death poor sod's,.

I would hope that Longleat, and all similar attractions would have procedures in place for such events.
The lions are likely to keep away from the fire.
As an mpv, it was probably diesel, so less likely to explode.
I'd hope other cars in the convoy would pick them up.
Overall, probably a lot less frightening than the paper report makes out.

According to the report I read it was all dealt with very calmly. The family were put in a rangers vehicle and moved from the enclosure and the lions were moved into another enclosure. I would say the biggest danger would have been from all the rubber neckers taking videos to put on YouTube.

Good news dave! It's blatantly a Fiat Ulysse.
we decided in the pub we'd get out the car, but not venture too far from it as the lions would be scared by the flames. once the ideal distance from burning car to lions still scared distance is attained.... cry
Agreed.
