The attack happened around 11 a.m.
Sunday morning at Sweden's largest zoo when the 30-year-old keeper
entered the wolves' pen to treat the animals she had helped to rear when
they were cubs. For some reason the animals launched a ferocious attack
on her as she was treating them, alone in the enclosure with nobody
around.
The alarm was given when she had failed
to make radio contact with the authorities. Colleagues went to the scene
but could not enter the enclosure due to the ferocity of the animals
and the emergency services were called.
All they could do was to look on
helplessly as the woman, still alive, was trying to fend off the
ferocious animals tearing her apart in front of their eyes. The wolf
enclosure was particularly attractive to visitors because they were
allowed to go inside to pet the wolves.
This article illustrates 2 points. One, we are still on the menu and therefore should shoot the critters. and two, nobody seemed to have a gun handy. Being a native cajun, I keep mine handy. Love your column.
