Fatal tiger attack is blamed on tourists

By China Daily | China Daily | Updated: 2016-08-25 08:22

A report on a fatal tiger attack at a wildlife zoo in Beijing released by the city's Yanqing district government on Wednesday blamed tourists for ignoring safety reminders.

But the report said the zoo should make greater efforts to remind tourists of the safety risks, and should commission an overall security check by a certified third-party organization and submit the result to the government.

The report followed an investigation of a tiger attack on July 23 at Badaling Wildlife World, near the Great Wall in Yanqing district. A female tourist from Anhui province who left her car was attacked and dragged away by a Siberian tiger. The woman's mother rushed from the car to help but was attacked and killed by another tiger. A third tiger was also present.
