I just read this article and am as upset and shocked as you probably are.
What comes to my mind is how this was done in Rome by the Romans against those who stated they were Christians.
The Bible in Revelations speaks of the sudden rise and rebirth of the Roman Empire.
Anyway, feel free to reply what you think about this article:
Man fed to lions prayed during attack (Horrible Story)
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A man fed to lions closed his eyes in prayer as his former employer and colleagues attacked him just hours before his grisly death, one of the alleged murderers has told a South African court.
In a racially charged case, three men are standing trial for the murder of 41-year-old farm worker Nelson Chisale. Little more than his skull, shards of bone and a finger were found at an enclosure for rare white lions early last year.
The case has provoked an outcry in South Africa where, a decade after the end of apartheid white rule, some white farmers are still accused of abusing and ploiting black workers. The three defendants have denied the charges.
Former colleague Simon Mathebula told the court his co-accused Richard Mathebula wounded Chisale when he returned to collect his belongings from the farm where he used to work, the South African Press Association (SAPA) reported on Monday.
Then his white employer Mark Scott-Crossley twice kicked a wound he had received in the attack, pointed a gun at Chisale and told him to pray.
"I looked at Nelson at that stage ... and I saw him closing his eyes and praying," SAPA quoted Simon Mathebula as telling the court.
A few hours later the prosecution says Chisale was thrown over the fence of a lion enclosure. A post mortem showed the cause of death as being "mauled by lions".
Protesters demanding life sentences for Scott-Crossley and his two co-accused black employees have picketed some sittings of the court in Phalaborwa close to the Kruger National Park northeast of Johannesburg.
The high-profile trial resumed on Monday even though Richard Mathebula was too sick to attend.
By the way, this man was hacked by machete's at first by the Farmers employee's and tied to a stake in the sun before he was fed to the lions.
*The guilty are trying to get an appeal!!!!!!*
