A man in Pakistan has been found dead after a zoo staffer spotted his half-eaten body, along with a tiger who had a crushed shoe in its mouth.
On Wednesday, Zaheer Anwar, a government official, reported that a man’s half-eaten body was discovered in a den at Bahawalpur’s Sherbagh Zoo, located in the Punjab province.
“When they cleaned the zoo and the dens, they found the (animal) holding a shoe in its mouth,” Anwar said. “The staff got suspicious and then they found a body inside the den.”
The government official believes that the victim may have deliberately entered the big cat’s den.
“Our assessment so far is that this appears to be a lunatic, because a sensible person would not jump into the den,” Anwar said. “You can see that the den is secured. There are stairs behind the den, maybe he jumped from there.”
One rescue worker, known as Zafarullah, described the victim’s legs as being “heavily mauled.”
“It is yet not known who he is and how he got there. It is being investigated. The body looked several hours old,” Zafarullah said.
The incident is currently under investigation.

What steps can zoos take to enhance security measures and ensure the well-being of both animals and visitors
Ld,” Zafarullah said.
The incident has prompted the closure of the zoo while investigations are underway. Authorities are trying to determine how the man managed to enter the tiger’s enclosure undetected and whether any safety measures were neglected.
This incident highlights the need for stricter security protocols in zoos and animal parks to ensure the safety of both visitors and animals. While tragic, it serves as a reminder that wild animals should be respected and admired from a safe distance.
Zoos have a responsibility to protect both the animals in their care and the visitors who come to observe them. Regular checks and maintenance of enclosures are vital to prevent any potential incidents.
In light of this unfortunate event, it is crucial for zoos to reevaluate their safety procedures and ensure that no loopholes exist that could endanger both humans and animals. This includes regularly inspecting enclosures, installing surveillance cameras, and providing proper training to zoo staff on how to handle emergency situations.
In addition, zoos should also educate visitors about the importance of adhering to safety guidelines and respecting the boundaries set for both their own protection and the well-being of the animals.
Incidents like this serve as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers associated with interacting with wild animals, even in a controlled environment such as a zoo. While zoos play a crucial role in conservation efforts and raising awareness about wildlife, safety should always be the top priority.
The tragic death of the man in the Sherbagh Zoo is a wakeup call for all zoos around the world to enhance security measures and ensure the well-being of both animals and visitors. It is a reminder that even the most well-designed enclosures can never be completely foolproof, and constant vigilance is necessary to prevent such unfortunate incidents from occurring in the future.
By learning from this tragedy, zoos can take steps to prevent similar incidents and continue their important work of preserving and protecting the world’s diverse wildlife. It is only through the joint efforts of zoos, authorities, and visitors that we can create a safe and enriching environment for both animals and humans.
