Director of animal sanctuary in Arizona seriously injured in tiger attack at the facility.
The director of an animal sanctuary in Arizona was seriously injured on Monday when he was attacked by a tiger at the facility.
"Jonathan was concerned for the welfare of several large cats in his approximate area including the tiger and took unilateral action to allow them access to protection from the elements," the sanctuary said in a statement on Wednesday."During that process, a safety protocol had obviously failed resulting in the incident."
The tiger, Bowie, was taken into the sanctuary last year after previously being owned as a pet. The animal was declawed as a cub and had difficulty walking, the sanctuary said. Keepers of the Wild is a nonprofit that cares for 150 exotic animals, including tigers, lions, leopards, bears and wolves. The facility is open to visitors, but was being closed due to the storm, the sanctuary said.
