The African Lion Safari is a wildlife park near Hamilton, Ontario. Lions, tigers, giraffes, baboons and monkeys are all allowed to roam freely within their own fenced in sections of the park. Visitors to the park drive along trails throughout the various wildlife sections either in their own vehicles or in the Safari buses. Posted at the entrance to the Safari is a notice that warns visitors about the danger of driving their own vehicles on the trails. The monkeys can scratch the paint on the cars as they jump from one to the other and the baboons are quite fond of tearing off the chrome stripping. Larger animals have even been known to overturn cars. Despite the warning, visitors are often lulled into thinking that nothing bad will happen to their car. All those who have watched from the sanctuary of the bus know differently. They have watched thousands of dollars of damage being done to visitors' vehicles. They know that there is a price to pay when the warnings are ignored. -- Conroy
