   Never. They are WAAAAAY too careful about what the lions are allowed to eat to do that.

   No. First, every state has laws regarding the proper care and disposal of human (and likely animal) remains. This is to ensure that they are handled in a sanitary manner and so as not to pose a health risk to others via contaminated drinking water and the like. Feeding a body to lions would most certainly violate those laws. Second, it could pose a danger to zoo keepers. Once the lions tasted human flesh, they may develop an appetite for the same. The lions would be unable to distinguish between a dead human (and thus acceptable to eat) and a live human (and unacceptable to eat).

   No, it’s not. Jumping into the enclosure would probably result in the lions being shot.

   Yeah, there’s no way you’re going to be lion food unless you jump in the enclosure. And even then you might have to harass them or something to provoke them to attack.

   Though I don’t think feeding lions human meat would make them more likely to kill people, unless maybe you didn’t process it first and just threw in whole arms and legs and stuff.

   People who keep livestock guarding dogs feed them food made with chicken and other livestock meat, yet they don’t turn on the animals they’re supposed to be protecting. I’ve also fed pet birds scrambled eggs, yet they never tried to eat their own eggs.
