A viral video blowing up the internet shows safari park owner Mike Hodge getting attacked by a lion.
Hodge was reportedly investigating a weird smell in the lions’ enclosure when he was quickly attacked and dragged around. He is recovering in a South African hospital, but that hardly makes the video any easier to watch.
