Very happy to see no knee jerk reaction by park keepers to shoot the lion. Apparently she was not only aware of warning signage but had been verbally informed by other tourists as well.

"The American woman killed by a lioness in the Lion Park on Monday had ignored several signs and verbal warnings not to drive through the area with her car windows open.

"The main rule was broken, not to have windows down. That is the number one rule and if people followed that, these incidents wouldn't happen. Ninety-nine percent of people do follow the rules," the park’s assistant operations manager Scott Simpson told reporters.

According to Simpson, there are more than 40 signs, both with pictures and text, warning visitors to keep their windows rolled up and stay in their cars.

He said the lioness would not be put down."
