Answer 3

This happened adjacent to a zoo.A large golden labrador might have sparked off the panic.Better to be safe than sorry surely.Had it been a young lion and someone's child been eaten folk would be saying how come no body alerted the authorities.Wouldn't be so big a joke then.

Seemed to me the sensible thing to do in the circumstances.
