A young woman got her arm severely mauled by a tiger yesterday. That probably wouldn’t be surprising if it happened in the jungles of India, but this happened just off Interstate 35 in Oklahoma.
The attack – and they’re not calling it that – occurred at the Garold Wayne Interactive Zoo in Wynnewood, OK, a place dedicated to saving rescued exotic animals. Apparently the young lady, an attendant at the park, had reached into the cage for some reason and the sleeve of her down-filled jacket got caught. When she jerked her arm trying to free it, the tiger thought she was waving a toy and decided to play.
The tiger has been isolated, but zoo management has no intention of having the animal euthanized.
Doctors in Oklahoma City are hoping to save the woman’s arm, but the down jacket is pretty much a loss. Maybe she could turn it into a vest.
