The owner of a British zoo which starred in a Hollywood film has hit back at animal cruelty claims over guests playing 'tug-of-war' - with a LION. Dartmoor Zoo launched the "human vs beast" challenge earlier this month - charging visitors £15 to try and wrestle meat from the jaws of a lion or tiger. But some claim the practice is cruel, and a petition was launched to ban the activity at Dartmoor Zoo in Devon. Owner Benjamin Mee, who was played by Matt Damon in the 2011 film We Bought a Zoo, insists the activity is good for the big cats and mimics life in the wild.
