A tiger was shot after a man working for a third-party cleaning company was attacked at Florida’s Naples Zoo on Wednesday, according to officials.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office said the tiger grabbed the man’s arm and pulled it into the cage after he put his arm through a fence. Officials said preliminary information indicates the man may have tried to pet or feed the tiger, both of which are prohibited by the zoo.
CCSO said the deputy at the scene was forced to shoot the tiger after he tried to get the tiger to let go of the man’s arm by kicking the enclosure.
