A zookeeper at the Beekse Bergen Safari Park in the Netherlands was seriously injured after being attacked by a Persian tiger in the indoor enclosure. The incident occurred yesterday (Saturday) around 11:00 AM while the zoo was open to visitors. The keeper, in her 50s with 25 years of experience at the park, managed to call for help using her radio. She was airlifted to the hospital conscious but in critical condition, and underwent surgery that concluded as planned. The park management clarified that they do not intend to euthanize the tiger, arguing that the animal cannot be blamed. The Dutch Labor Inspectorate has opened an investigation, and staff are expected to convene for an emergency meeting. The central question that remains open is how an experienced keeper found herself in the same space as the predator, contrary to protocols.
