The FWC report contains an interview with a staff veterinarian for the zoo, who said the bear — known as Johnny — had been captured due to its behavior of continually going to humans for food. The bear was given to the zoo to be used for educational purposes, and the veterinarian stated that the bear exhibited anxiety and anxiety-related behaviors. She said the bear was given Zylkene, a medicine that uses milk proteins to produce a calming effect.
On the day of the attack, the FWC noted, the zoo was understaffed, so the bears were not going to be rotated. The zookeeper told investigators that she opened the door “by mistake, out of habit,” without the transfer corridor being in place. When the lethal weapons team arrived, the FWC says, a staffer shot the bear while he was still on top of the zookeeper.
