The zoo keeper was alert and awake when she was rushed to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, City of Topeka spokeswoman Molly Hadfield said by phone. The zoo was closed for 45 minutes and its six tigers, including the 7-year-old Sanjiv, were placed in a holding pen after the attack.“Nothing is going to happen to our tiger,” Hadfield said.

Never the animals fault in captivity.⭐

End zoos.

Is the tiger ok?

Stay away from wild animals

10 mn? murder attempt?

She has kids she is meant to be protective

Well, they shouldn't be in zoos in the first place.

don't mess with mamma

I hope the tiger is ok!!! 'The victim, the primary tiger keeper at the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center, was in the predator’s outdoor habitat when she was attacked, zoo director Brendan Wiley said at a news conference.' Wrong: the victim is the tiger!!!

'Born Free'.....we talk of freedom but unfortunately don't understand the meaning 'fully' !!!

I'm not sure why this is considered news.

Animals do not belong in captivity. A few minutes of so-called entertainment for us are not worth a lifetime sentence for the animals. CaptivityIsCruel CaptivityKills EmptyTheCages BreakTheChains EmptyTheTanks DontBuyATicket

Corrected headline: Zoo keeper gets too close to tiger, who won’t be penalized for being a wild animal.

Tigers are one of the few select Predators on this plant will actively target humans as prey ask Indian people about that.

Stop putting animals in cages! Zoos and circuses are antiquated, despicable forms of entertainment. StopAnimalCruelty

Poor Tiger. They should throw in a goat or at least large rabbits for him to stalk.

Maybe don't take wild animals and put them in cages where they can be gawked at like things?

Poor little guy - I mean the tiger. Animals are not meant to be kept for 'entertainment' purposes.

That's what they do, DUH.

Sad fall from last weekend

Maybe keeping zoos is the problem. Just spitballing here.
