Brave Grandmom Protects Grandson from Wild Animal by Using Herself as Body Shield

When it comes to family, our loved ones are worth every sacrifice we have to make.

A grandma was reportedly attacked by a leopard at a circus in Bogotol, Russia as she was trying to protect her grandson from the scary beast.

The woman, Lyubov Yakovleva, 53, was attacked by the animal, after it was initially taken out of the circus by its tamers because it became suddenly aggressive. Moments later, the cat was returned back to the ring, as everyone, including the tamers assumed that it was under control.

Daily Mail reports that Yakovleva said that the wild cat was appeared suddenly in front of her nose, and she only had time to cover her grandson, Tim.

‘The beast grabbed me with its teeth, and began to tear me up. I shrinked. What happened next, I don’t remember except like everyone else we rushed for the door. The leopard bit through my tendon ‘all the way.”

She reportedly was offered no help as people rushed out to protect themselves. After her daughter managed to get her to a hospital, doctors confirmed that she had lost a lot of blood and had to receive 10 stitches to cover up  the wound. However, the mauled woman does not blame the leopard for the attack. Rather, she says the organizers are to blame, and she has vowed to sue them to stop similar incidents from reoccurring in the future.
