Chris Perez reports at the NY Post that the Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo in Chongqing city is giving people the hair-raising chance to learn what it’s like to come face to face with an apex predator. Visitors pay to be caged inside the back of a truck as it makes its way through the animal park. Just to make sure they get the attention of the beasts, huge chunks of raw meat are tied to the bars to lure them as close as possible. “We wanted to give our visitors the thrill of being stalked and attacked by the big cats but with, of course, none of the risks,” says Chan Liang. “The guests are warned to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times because a hungry tiger wouldn’t know the difference between them and breakfast.” According to CNN the trips have been sold out for the next three months. “It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before in a zoo,” says Tao Jen. “We’re not looking at them, they’re looking at us — and we’re lunch.”

A Zoo where they Lock the Visitors inside Cages
That's called a safari park here, and the cages are called cars. Attaching meat is a new one, I'll give you that.
"The guests are warned to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times because a hungry tiger wouldn’t know the difference between them and breakfast."
Hmm, that's not a lawsuit waiting to happen, no sir. How about just not making it possible to poke fingers and hands outside the cage?
China
Oh, I see.

I've heard it's not that uncommon to "seed" the safari trail in Africa, because predators an prey are pretty good at hiding, the spaces immense, but the average Joe tourist wants his pictures to keep dropping wads of cash.

Yup, a Safari Park.
I went to this one http://www.oranawildlifepark.co.nz/ [oranawildlifepark.co.nz] about 25 years ago, and watched Lions eat from the comfort of my car.
How is this crap on this site?

That was a bit rude. I hope they at least gave you petrol money when you got it back.
