Little Falls, MN - 29 June 2005: Tiger, Then Lion Maul 10-year-old

A ten-year-old Minnesota boy was left with brain injuries and is a quadriplegic after first being attacked by a tiger and then by a lion. The attack came as he and his father visited a man who owns eleven large cats. A number of reports about this irresponsible and horrific attack are out there, including one from the
Duluth News Tribune.

Authorities say that as the owner opened the door of a cage, a tiger pushed its way out and attacked the boy. As the tiger was being pulled off the ten-year-old, a lion stepped in and attacked him.
