What are you not willing to do for a selfie with a large predator, prisoner of a zoo? A jaguar of the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, in Litchfield Park, Arizona, attacked a woman who climbed over the barrier and entered the enclosure to take a photo.
It seems incredible, but this is what really happened, as the eyewitnesses tell, who watched in disbelief as the visitor climbed over the barriers, only to be attacked shortly after by the feline.
Fortunately it was not a fatal accident, the woman suffered some deep wounds in the arm, attacked by the mighty legs, but it is not in danger.
Footage shot by a witness shows the visitor lying on the ground, with a deep gash on her arm, crying in pain.
Immediately there was fear for the fate of the animal, with the specter of euthanasia to "punish" the aggression that hovered over him.
Fortunately, after an investigation was opened, surveillance camera recordings confirmed the XNUMX-year-old's reckless gesture, thus relieving the jaguar of being accused of having gone out of space.
“We can promise that nothing will happen to our jaguar. He is a wild animal and there were adequate barriers to keep our guests safe, it is not the wild animals' fault if the barriers are crossed. We send our best wishes to the woman and her family, ”said the facility.
We can promise you nothing will happen to our jaguar. She’s a wild animal and there were proper barriers in place to keep our guests safe- not a wild animals fault when barriers are crossed. Still sending prayers to her and her family.

The president of the Humane Society of the United States, an organization that fights animal violence, urged zoos to "set higher standards to protect people and respect wildlife from a safe distance."
Indeed, the real tragedy to question here is why this magnificent animal is a prisoner of a zoo ...
