Tiger shot, killed at Florida zoo after grabbing arm of man who reached through enclosure
According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, a member of a third-party cleaning service contracted by the Naples Zoo suffered serious injuries after entering an unauthorized area near a tiger that was inside its enclosure.
They say the cleaning company is responsible for cleaning restrooms and the gift shop, but not the animal enclosures.Authorities say initial reports indicate that the tiger grabbed the worker's arm and pulled it into the enclosure after the man got past a fence barrier and put his arm through the fencing of the enclosure.The first deputy on the scene tried to get the tiger to let go of the man's arm from its mouth but was forced to shoot the animal.
