Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Girl saved by lions. It just made me grateful for this little girl and the outcome. It could have been so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wow!!! That is miraculous!!! This is nuts though.... Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction' date=' practiced in rural areas where most of the country’s 71 million people live.[/quote'] Reminds me of those depictions of cavemen clubbing the girl they like and dragging her back to their cave. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Too bad the lions didn't eat those men. No, I have no compassion for men who would do something so heinous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Did you see the statistic that 70% of marriages in Ethiopia are from abductions? That's pretty shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wow, that is amazing. Clearly, in this case, the lions were not the true animals. I can only imagine how terrified that poor girl must have been to have been kidnapped by seven men. It is horrible that this sort of thing occurs there with such frequency.

Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Too bad the lions didn't eat those men. No, I have no compassion for men who would do something so heinous. :iagree: When I first started reading it I thought to myself, "Please tell me that the lions ate those men and then waited around for help for the little girl." I also couldn't believe it when they wrote that they have 3 men in custody but 4 are still at large!:001_huh: It took 7 men to "convince" a 12-year-old CHILD to marry one of them??? Sick.

mcconnellboys Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I don't think the lions were "mistaken;" I've read stories in past years about lions protecting children. Cool story.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
