This makes me wonder if this will make captive predators a bit more agressive. There's always the assumption that, while captive lions are obvioulsy lions---they never seem quite as hostile as ones in the wild. But if they get used to hunting again and enjoying the chase (which, by all means, is a noble pursuit), I wonder if more "animal attacks trainer/zoo keeper" cases will pop up.

Cynical much, Mr. Starfish?

Just a thought.
