Game of Survival

So how, exactly, did someone manage to put a body in the cage without being mauled or letting the lions out? I had to laugh. It's hard enough to get into a room when impatient housecats want to leave!

Of course what they needed was an entry cage. And even then it wouldn't have been easy to safely open the inner door and let the lions into the entry cage to get to a body. It would take careful plannning. Monk or Columbo could spend a good fifteen minutes on that point. As well as whether even an exceptionally hungry and bored pair of lions would eat all but the tiniest traces of a man. (Who among us doesn't expect a trick in a mystery story when dentures are the identifying feature of a body?)
