A worker at a Crimean wildlife park has been killed by lions
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — A employee at a wildlife park in Crimea died Wednesday when she was attacked by lions, officers stated.
In line with the Russian Investigative Committee’s workplace within the Russia-annexed peninsula, the demise occurred when the employee went right into a cage on the Taigan park to wash it. The cage held three lions, however the employee didn’t lock an inside door that might have separated her from them, the committee stated in an announcement.
The Taigan park is in Belogorsk, about 35 kilometers (22 miles) east of the Crimean capital Simferopol. Russia unilaterally annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, however many of the world doesn’t acknowledge it as Russian territory.
In line with the park’s web site, it holds about 60 lions in its greater than 30 hectares (75 acres). About 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) of elevated walkways permit guests to watch lions roaming freely.
The investigative committee stated it has opened a felony case on doable negligence costs, however it was not clear if the park or the employee had been negligent.
