Saw it in the news earlier, here is the video. Does CPR work for being mauled by a lion? Maybe to bring out of shock?
Shit, shooting that lion in the head only pissed it off :o.

The idea behind CPR is to get oxygen into the brain by providing artificial respiration and creating bloodflow. It almost never brings someone out of cardiac arrest without assistance of a defibrillator, but it's used to maintain health of the organs after the body itself is "dead".
poor lion :'(
it just wanted a snack :-\
