Visitors can kiss a lion in Argentinean zoo

In an Argentinean zoo visitors can bottle feed bears, kiss a lion and even snuggle with a tiger without any fear. On its website the zoo writes that their animals are calm and passive because they were tamed from birth and are absolutely uninterested in eating human flesh.

The Lujan Zoo is located just outside Buenos Aires. It claims to possess 50 African lions, 20 Bengal tigers, 12 mountain lions and about 50 different species of South American monkeys.

Judging by photos of visitors intimately interacting with animals, a thought might appear that animals are heavily drugged, but the zoo declares it is not true and explains that the animals were received from pet owners, who had realized they could not house them any longer, which accounts for the animal’s human-friendly attitude.

The zoo opened in 1994. Since then there has not been a single report of any incident happened in the zoo. Some believe, though, that incident, if any, have been removed from the zoo’s record as a result of bribery.
