A Florida sheriff's deputy was forced to shoot and kill a tiger at a zoo in Naples after a contractor who put his arm inside the animal's enclosure without authorization was attacked, according to reports.
"The man was either petting or feeding the animal, both of which are unauthorized and dangerous activities," Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk said, according to WPLG-TV in Miami.
The tiger retreated when a deputy shot the animal while it was biting the worker’s arm. The man suffered severe but unspecified injuries, WBBH reported.
