Police say three lions rescued a 12-year-old girl kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and guarding her until police and relatives tracked her down in a remote corner of Ethiopia.

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah someone was defitnitely watching over that girl. It kind of reminds me of that biblical story Daniel in the Lions' Den. He was thrown into the lion's den but God tamed the lions and he wasn't eaten.

"A young girl whimpering could be mistaken for the mewing sound from a lion cub, which in turn could explain why they (the lions) didn't eat her," Williams said. "Otherwise they probably would have done."

Sigh. Really. I hate to do this. But if "someone" was watching out for her, why weren't they watching out for all the other girls that are kidnapped for marriage every year? It says in the article that 70 percent of marriages are done that way. So, just this ONE SINGLE GIRL, get to be "saved by someone."

Too bad "someone" didn't save her before she was kidnapped, beaten and terrified.

but the lions not eating her is a miracle.

Maybe we can deify her in some way.

Do we have to turn this into a debate?

Never mind....I guess if it is posted on a board it is up for debate right? I guess I just get tired of having responces picked apart.

yes it was amazing.

now back to the debate that I am sure is going to happen. Have fun.

all the previous posters wanted to give credit to "someone" rather than the lions. If that's the conversation they want to have, maybe spirituality instead of news and current events.
