The same tiger, a 4-year-old female named Tatiana, ripped the flesh off a zookeeper’s arm just before Christmas a year ago while the woman was feeding the animal through the bars. A state investigation faulted the zoo, which installed better equipment at the Lion House, where the big cats are kept.

I’d still like YOU to post any story which backs up YOUR WILD ASSERTIONS.

I used your links to point out it’s unclear how it happened. One fact is true, the tiger was able to get the zookeeper’s arm during feeding time. Was the caretaker too close? Let’s see.....animal in cage and human within arms(paws)reach. Yup, I’d say she was too close.
