Zoo shut after tiger kills visitor
Print Edition
A BEIJING zoo where a tiger mauled a visitor to death and left another seriously injured has been closed.
The incident happened on Saturday in the tiger enclosure at Badaling Safari World, which visitors can drive through in their vehicles but are warned not to get out.
However, two visitors failed to heed that warning, Yanqing District officials said yesterday.
Sources told the Legal Evening News that a family of four — a middle-aged woman, a young woman, a man and a child — were touring the zoo in a car.
The young woman got into a quarrel with the man and got out of the car. A Siberian tiger then pounced on her and dragged her away. The older woman got out of the car and tried to drag her back, but was attacked by another tiger, the paper reported.
The family was rescued when zoo workers rushed to chase off the tigers. The older woman died at the scene, and the younger one is in serious condition in hospital.
This was not the first mauling death at the zoo. In August 2014, a male worker was killed by a tiger.
