On January 29, a visitor to the zoo died in the eastern part of China. The police of the city of Ninbo had to shoot a tiger who attacked a man. The injured man was taken to the nearest hospital, but he could not be saved.
The victim of the tragedy was an animal lover who climbed over the wall of the zoo so as not to pay for the ticket, and ended up in the aviary with a tiger, BBC reports citing local authorities.
The tragedy occurred in front of visitors to the zoo and hit the video . Judging by the published records, the zoo employees used different methods and means to drive away the predator and save a person, including with the help of firecrackers. It is known that after a meeting with the tiger, a stow man lived only an hour. The South China Morning Post publishes eyewitness evidence.
The report on a preliminary investigation into the tourism department of the city of Ninbo was published on the Weibo social network, writes The Star . The report stated that the administration of the zoo took all measures to protect visitors from the Tiger attack - the aviary was fenced off by a moat and a stone wall. However, the deceased and his friend made their way to the fenced territory through the wall.
"Zhang and Lee climbed across the three -meter wall in the northwestern part of the zoo, not paying attention to the warning signs along the fence. Zhang entered the aviary with the tiger, Lee did not," the message said.
Wives and children of men went to the zoo, bought tickets. Their cost is 130 yuan for adults and 70 yuan for children ($ 19 and 10, respectively). It is not known whether they observed the attack of the tiger. The press describes the 40-year-old Zhang as a "poor clerk."
In Weibo, a message about the death of a visitor to the zoo scored about 48 thousand "likes". Most of the participants in the discussion criticize the actions of the deceased and they say that the tiger only followed instincts and was shot in anything.
As noted, in 2006, four visitors who in the same way tried to get into the zoo were almost killed by the lions.
