Bangkok Zookeeper Killed by Lions: Possible Suicide or Safety Failure?
A keeper at Bangkok’s Safari World zoo was fatally attacked by lions in the drive-through zone while on duty, witnessed by horrified visitors. The attack occurred when the keeper exited his vehicle and was then mauled by several lions during feeding time. The zoo has closed the drive-in zone until safety can be assured and is reviewing safety measures after the incident. The deceased keeper, a supervisor with years of experience, was rushed to the hospital after being rescued but succumbed to his injuries.
