Officials say a volunteer was bitten and seriously injured by a tiger at Carole Baskin’s Big Cat Rescue sanctuary near Tampa, Florida.

FILE - In this July 20, 2017, file photo, Carole Baskin, founder of Big Cat Rescue, walks the property near Tampa, Fla. Officials said, a female volunteer who regularly feeds big cats was bitten and seriously injured by a tiger Thursday morning, Dec. 3, 2020, at the sanctuary, which was made famous by the Netflix series “Tiger King."

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue received a trauma alert call about 8:30 a.m. Thursday from the sanctuary, agency spokesman Eric Seidel told The Associated Press. Kimba will be placed in quarantine for the next 30 days, but Baskin said the tiger was “just acting normal due to the presence of food and the opportunity.” Baskin said Couser did not want Kimba to suffer any consequences for the incident.

The incident came the same day the U.S. House is to vote on a bill, the Big Cat Public Safety Act, championed by Baskin that would ban handling of big cat cubs and personal possession of them in places such as backyards.

Odds are the cat has a taste for human blood after she fed her husband to it. Just made the police work a little easier

Not so sure feeding your arm to the tiger was a good idea.

The tiger is hungry after having Carole's husband...

Fkin Carol Baskin.

Prolly the same tiger that ate her husb....never mind. 🤭

Was the person volunteering to be a meal? I mean...really!?

We looked up tigers and they say that a tiger at the top can take literally any animal in a fight including elephants and rhinos and tigers, due to their superior size and muscle tissue and skeletal design and agility.

I told her to wash her hands after she ate that KFC. :(( She really did taste like chicken!

She has a new boyfriend?

Nice

I am never going to recover from this financially

With the AP cover this story?

Nature is healing...and it’s pissed...🐯

Lucky for her I think she’ll financially recover from this
