A state report says the safety doors in a Sumatran tiger's enclosure at a Kansas zoo were left unlocked before the animal attacked and injured a zookeeper.

The report released Friday by the Kansas Department of Labor agreed with the Topeka Zoo's assessment that no equipment failure or other problem with the enclosure led to the April 20 attack.

Zookeeper Kristyn Hayden-Ortega was hospitalized after suffering puncture wounds and lacerations to her head, neck and back. Hayden-Ortega had gone into the outdoor area of the tiger's enclosure to clean it. The animal was supposed to be in an indoor area, behind two doors. The report says the doors"had been locked in the open position."

So you're saying it was a set-up?

Tiger farms in Laos fuel demand for tiger parts on black marketKarl Ammann risks his life to expose wildlife criminals. His search for tiger traffickers may be his most dangerous mission yet. He’s undertaken dozens of risky, self-funded investigations that have pushed him to the fringes of the conservation community. Even friends describe him as obsessive. But he can’t stop — those responsible must be held accountable. I admire him hugely. He is trying, when so few are. You should have named the CITES bureaucrat who wouldn't even look at Ammann's findings.
