An idiot in Chile wanted to show everyone just how big an idiot he was, so he stripped naked and jumped into a lion pit at Santiago’s Metropolitan Zoo. Franco Ferrada taunted the lions, and thankfully was attacked by them for being a total asshole.
Unfortunately, two lions were shot dead because of the 20-year-old ‘s actions. Here’s where the story gets strange. Ferrada had a note on him that said this: “The apocalypse has arrived, and I will know when it shall come. I am the prophet and I have returned for my people.”

Witnesses also state that Ferrada referenced the story of Daniel, who was thrown to the lions but ultimately saved by God. The two lions were shot with live ammunition after attempts with a hose and a dart failed.
Ferrada is currently recovering in a hospital but he has serious injuries to his face, skull, neck, shoulders and groin. Well-deserved.
