The tragic accident took place last Saturday in the tourist zoo’s wildlife park, which is home to wild carnivores. At the time of the accident, a bus with a group of tourists passed by, in front of whose eyes a park employee was torn.
–
One of the tourists immortalized the accident, but later published the video on social networks. It shows tourists on the bus screaming when they see a bear attack.
–
The management of the park has expressed condolences to the relatives of the deceased employee, as well as apologized to the tourists for the inconvenience. Management promises to improve safety in the park area.
–
The park has been closed since the accident and it is possible to get a refund for unused tickets.
–
The video quickly became popular on the Chinese social networking site Weibo. The video hears a tourist calling “there’s someone there,” while another says “what’s going on?”
–
The importance of such parks for wildlife has been widely discussed on the social networking site. Many have mentioned that bears behave as wild animals should, and the only way to stop such accidents from happening again in the future is to stop such parks.
–
“Just lock the zoos. Let the animals be free,” says a social network user.
–
Other users criticized the park’s safety measures and expressed their condolences to the tourists who should have seen the accident.
–
Although accidents involving zoo staff are very rare, accidents involving zoo visitors are more common. For example, in 2017, a man was bitten by a bear in a Chinese wildlife park after a man drove through the park in a car and tried to feed a bear through an open window, the BBC reports.
