We are just somewhat perplexed that some 800 days after this incident allegedly occurred and these individuals were detained that this is the first time there's been any reference to a lion.

We have (detained) 15 suspects over the incident. There are others who are on the run, and they are on our wanted list.

Just being detained in a prison is probably intimidation enough.

MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.

The incident that occurred happened rapidly and was totally unforeseen.

This incident so late in the year is somewhat unprecedented, ... We don't quite know where this is going to go, and this danger, even at this end of the summer when the temperatures are cooler, is a danger which is very real.
