They are thrown over the fence to hopefully land on rubber mats, which prevent the meat from getting dirty (although a couple of the lions did not appreciate this and have moved their mats away). Unfortunately, I have not proven strong enough to get a four kilo piece of meat over a two (perhaps more) metre fence- mine bounced off near the top and fell back to the floor at my feet, spattering me with blood. However I need to develop this skill quickly, as once Chris goes on leave in a few days, I will have to help out more with the feed run.
