Summary: In a statement Friday, Indianapolis zoo staff said they heard "an unusual amount of roaring" at the lions' outdoor yard early Monday morning. When they arrived, they say the female lion, Zuri, fighting with their male lion, Nyack. "Zoo personnel made every effort to separate the lions, but Zuri held Nyack by the neck until he stopped moving," the zoo said in a statement.The zoo veterinary staff determined that he died of suffocation from injuries on the deck. The 2 lions were housed together at the Indianapolis Zoo for 8 years and produced 3 cubs, there were no previous examples of aggression between the lions.

Analysis: This article was written on October 21, a week after the incident and 2 days after the statement made by the zoo. I didn't know about this incident since its pretty insignificant. I can connect the article to the relationship between America and Britain after the American Revolution, they're family but still fought with eachother. This article was written for people who liked the zoo and liked seeing the lions. This article was written by Keith Allen and Kate Conerly, it means this article was a collaborative effort from 2 different view points. This article was written because it was news of something very odd that happened in mother nature. This article is also important, because it reminds me of when relationships get too sour in married couples, there have been cases like this before especially abusive relationships.
I find your comparison very interesting, as I have just heard of this event and had not even thought to make such a connection. This just goes to show the shallowness of reading news. It's easy to consume, and requires no deep thinking or making connections. Thank you for raising my awareness to this.
