Buenos Aires, ARG Supposedly, a young man jumped into a lions outdoor enclosure because "God told him to do it." Police said they have records of his mental instability.

He received wounds about the arms, hands and face.

I haven't been able to find this story anywhere except CNN - but it's on video only and a bit R rated.

'Bullfighter' takes on lion at zoo
Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Posted: 12:56 AM EST (0556 GMT)

Lucas Tomas, 22, lies on the grass with Quique, a lion at the Buenos Aires zoo.

On Monday, Lucas Tomas, 22, scaled a wall, dropped inside the pen began baiting one of the two lions inside. The lion pounced on the man, knocking him to the ground and biting him repeatedly before a policeman fired several warning shots that scared the animal off.

Tomas suffered minor injuries to his hands, arms and face, doctors said, adding they were also treating him for psychological problems.

Juan Carlos Ramares, the chief medic at Fernandez Hospital, said Tomas told authorities he had been ordered by "voices from God" to go in and taunt the lions, according to local reports.

This was just on The Today Show, the lion did not seem all that interested to eat him up! Guess God has other plans for this guy!
You're right LL, he does need some mental assistance.
