Tiger Rips Up Arm of Oklahoma Animal Worker

Published October 06, 2013
Doctors were trying to save the left arm of a worker at a central Oklahoma animal park Saturday after a tiger attacked her when she stuck her hand into the giant cat's enclosure.
Joe Schreibvogel, owner of Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in Wynnewood, told the Associated Press the woman was in surgery Saturday afternoon at an Oklahoma City hospital
"He tore her arm up pretty bad," Schreibvogel said. "Her entire arm was still attached. It was badly, badly damaged."
Co-workers quickly tended to the woman before she was airlifted to the hospital, he said.
"She pulled her own arm out. The tiger didn't maul her. The tiger was in his cage, and she violated his space by sticking her arm into his space," Schreibvogel said, adding that the park has a strict rule against introducing any body part into a wild animal enclosure.
