There's not a single word in the article about lions 'defending territory'. The primary reasons given for lions attacking humans are 1) they see us as a food source 2) a lioness defending cubs and 3) threatened by the presence of humans. Various other sources (look them up yourself, I'm tired of doing your homework) confirm that the primary reason lions attack people is that people are easy prey.
Do you never get tired of being wrong?

That's what the lion was doing. Do you think a lion jumped through someone's window because it was hungry? This may surprise you, but there are many sources out there that talk about this. I read a couple after reading what the link you shared. It's not that I was wrong. It's just that you read one thing and believed that was the end all on that lion, when it wasn't. In fact, was reading about various reasons that a lion may attack a human. For example, since they often hunt big game, it's not uncommon for them to injure their jaw trying to bring something down. At that point, it goes from "normal prey" to "selective prey" because they can't go after the bigger animals anymore. Simply out of necessity. Not because they thought people looked tasty.
