Jaguar kills Denver zookeeper

A jaguar mauled a Denver zookeeper to death today at about 11:30 a.m. as she was working inside the animal’s cage, officials say.

The employee, whose identity was not released, was taken to Denver Health Medical Center, but died from her injuries, said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.

Zookeepers who entered the jaguar’s enclosure to rescue the injured worker shot the animal to death when it approached them, said Tiffany Barnhart, zoo spokeswoman.

 

Damn, that is a bad day.
