An eight-year-old Chinese girl was killed by a circus tiger
after she slipped into an enclosed “animal training site“, state media said.
The girl died of her injuries in hospital following the
attack at Leheledu Amusement Park in the southwestern city of Chongqing, Xinhua
reported, citing the park.
She was visiting the circus on Friday night with her
relatives when she was attacked, the news agency added.
“A spokesman from the park said they have reached (an)
initial agreement on settling the incident with the victim’s family and vowed
to beef up security measures,” it said.
The incident comes after a zookeeper was killed by a tiger
while cleaning out his cage in the financial hub Shanghai last December.
