    As I hear the cheers and jeers, I am reminded, we are the same species that invented bear baiting. I expect this to be a mid-season replacement for Jay Leno later this year. #viralvideo

    @iheartapocalypse: Is there some reason we're no longer a part of the natural world? Lions eat deer. Things eat other things. It's not our fault that that's pretty frikking awesome to watch. We're evolved creatures who used to be preyed on, of course we find it fascinating to watch.

    Now quit yer bellyaching and just enjoy watching shark week, for christ's sake. #viralvideo

    I'm a parent who has taken the kids to a lot of zoos.

    Though I might watch it on YouTube, if I were to ever run across a lion eating a deer in real life, I'd most likely shuffle the kids to another exhibit and I really don't think I'd revert to baby talk.

    Sure... circle of life, but that's why they made cable.

    This story is like Where the Red Fern Grows meets Bambi. With lions.

    It's like God decided that English students needed Gawker to send them the perfect inspiration for that Intro to Storytelling assignment that they've been procrastinating on. #viralvideo

    Did they at least give the deer to the lion to eat? That's the closest it's going to get to hunting for it's whole life. #viralvideo

    I'm sorry, but this was one of the funniest damn things I've seen all weekend. That tiger was so self conscious. I think it purposely let the deer get away just to appease the masses. It's either that or he's just the laziest tiger ever.

    @raincoaster: I think I was 8 or 9. It was my first time at sleep-away camp. The counselors said we were watching a movie that evening. This is what they showed us, then they laughed and laughed and laughed... #viralvideo

    Life proves itself equally unfair and beautiful in so many ways every day.

    I know I sound like an inspirational poster (pun intended?) but it's true. #viralvideo

    Am I the only one who finds the hysterics of the crowd terrible and frightening? It's like an instant, just-add-water version of the kind of 24 hour news-inspired rubbernecking people do when celebrities die, or when boys float into the sky (or not) in giant science fiction balloons created by their loony fathers.

    Also, lady, that fucking deer can't understand you when you tell it to run into the water. Hence, you are a moron. #viralvideo
