Release lions into public spaces to aid social distancing

The Issue

With zoos shutting down and many of the British public flouting social distancing advice and risking the lives of innocent people who happen to be more immunocompromised than they are, isn’t it time we took the obvious step of releasing the most dangerous animals, in particular lions, from our zoos and allowing them to feast on society’s most arrogant and selfish?

Statistically, one person infected with COVID-19 can infect on average 3 other people. Extrapolated to 10 further levels, they would be indirectly responsible for infecting 59,000 people.

An average pride of lions will eat a whole human once every two weeks. 

You do the maths. 

Release the lions now.
