Then my flippant remark is unjust and withdrawn.
Made when it was thought/denied to be a tiger involved.

Sad.

Re: I wonder what's happened at this zoo ?

Whenever I hear of this happening and it does happen quite often I wonder how it happened . I always thought there was a series of cages in which the tigers were kept apart from ever being in the same space as a keeper.
Then I think that whoever it was in this case a woman who must have loved animals and been so thrilled to get a job at the zoo. A job that lead to her death .
I hope the tiger has not been shot its a prisoner kept captive but its instincts remain and these are serious predators.

I was under the impression there were a series of manually operated gates that would need to be opened.

Very sad.

A terrible occurrence indeed. I hope the investigators find out just how it came to happen and I hope no "revenge" is taken on the Tiger. The Tiger was doing, well, what Tigers do. Very sad indeed.

Once again indicating that Tigers DO NOT do well kept in that sort of captivity.

I despair

How sad no consolation but she died doing a job she likely dreamed of doing since a little girl, she must have been happy to have been there.
