CNN: Man Seriously Injured in Tiger Attack at Florida Zoo
EXCERPT:
ROMERO: "Well, Alisyn, I mean, if we start with the tiger, we know what tigers do, right? This tiger did what tigers do. It's a big cat, it's a predator, so that was expected. What was unexpected was the 26-year-old man's actions. So, he was there because he was hired to work in a cleaning crew, to clean up the restrooms and the gift shops, you know, the areas for humans. He was not hired to be anywhere near the animals. But on that night, on Wednesday night, he was found — deputies say that he reached his hand through an enclosure after already going around one barricade, reached his hand through a tiger enclosure, and that tiger latched on. It was then that the deputies from the Collier County Sheriff's Office showed up, they asked for a tranquilizer. All of this happened in less than a minute. They ended up shooting the tiger in order to save the man's life.”
