Man Killed By Tigers in Turin Zoo




Man Killed By Tigers in Turin Zoo

Yesterday a Zoo Keeper was killed by three tigers in the Turin Zoo. It would appear that once again that this was a case of keeper error. Failure to ensure that a door was securely closed before entering the enclosure for feeding.

The alarm was raised by the wife of the 72 year old man but it was too late to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.

The Turin Zoo was closed down five years ago but there were difficulties in relocating the animals. Nine Tigers and one Leopard were amongst the animals remaining on the property.
