Zookeeper killed by lions in Bangkok

A zookeeper has succumbed to his injuries after being mauled by a group of lions, which he fed daily, at a safari zoo in Bangkok’s Klong Sam Wa district on Wednesday. The enclosure where the attack took place is designed for visitors to drive through, with several warning signs instructing visitors not to open windows or leave their vehicles.

The zoo, the country’s largest private safari zoo, regularly stages lion-feeding shows inside the enclosure. An initial police report indicated that the zookeeper had left his vehicle to feed the lions.
