A tiger mauled a man who works at an airboat attraction in Florida.
According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, CBS News reports the incident happened at Wooten’s Everglades Airboat Tours in Ochopee. Prior to the attack, a caretaker was feeding a tiger in its cage when another worker who wasn’t authorized to enter came in.
The news outlet reports that’s when the tiger attacked the 50-year-old man, leaving him with injuries on both of his arms. The man was immediately taken to the hospital. There are no details on the man is doing following the attack.
The facility is home to two lions, turtles, otters, crocodiles, and alligators.
I feel for the tiger. It got sick & tired of its captive existence. It probably got sick & tired of any abuse & neglect done by that caretaker too. We will never know b/c I’m sure there are no cameras.
