Daily photo for Tues March 5, 2013 Marjan - One of our customers, an older lady (Nancy) named her cat after a lion who was the most famous resident of the Kabul Zoo in Afghanistan and died in 2002. She told me his story as I was taking pictures of her cat. On March 27 1995, a man who made a bet with his friends sneaked into the lion’s den. The man stroked Chucha, the lioness, who did not react, but Marjan attacked the man and killed him within minutes. The following day, the man’s brother came and threw 3 hand grenades into the lion’s den, rendering Marjan blind, deaf, and permanently disabled. Despite several operations, neither Marjan’s eyesight nor his mouth could be saved. He lost all of his teeth, making it impossible for him to eat even boned meat. A ramp was also built for him to get back into his den, as he was seen falling a few times while trying to make it back inside. The incident sparked outrage with animal rights activists. The man who threw the grenade was violently attacked a week later, and died of injuries. A tragic story, but one that deserves repeating. I like going to Nancy's, she's always good for a story and fotos!
