A Michigan woman by name of Renae Ferguson, sticks her right hand in a lion cage, while visiting Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park and has her middle finger ripped off.

Here is a story you don’t hear everyday, woman sticks hand in lion cage and is in complete shock that the wild animal bit it.
On Saturday, Renae Ferguson visited the Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park near East Tawas in Michigan with her daughter Tina Dobson, where they apparently met a very friendly zookeeper.
According to Ferguson, she asked the female worker if she could get inside the lion’s cage to see the animal closer and to pet it.
The zoo worker allowed the mother and daughter in the cage and when she attempted to touch the beast with her right hand, it bit her.
The lion bit off the top portion of the woman’s middle finger. Talking to the media, Ferguson said she was stunned when the lion attacked and was in complete shock to see a piece of her finger on the ground.
As for Tina Dobson, she was traumatized to see the bones sticking out of the finger, as her mother was bleeding and screaming due to the pain.
Ferguson shared that she was rapidly contacted by the Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park owners, who told her not talk about the incident to the authorities and the media.
She decided to speak out because she plans to sue, make a fortune and ensure this does not happen to other visitors of the zoo.
Things do not look too good for Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park, which stated that the woman was never authorized to get in the cage.
The owners of the park had scheduled a press conference for Wednesday to explain what really happened, but that has been cancelled.
The company has lawyered up an has stopped talking to the media.
