The incident took place at Sherbagh Zoo in Bahawalpur, Punjab province, on December 6th, according to Samaa TV.<\/p>\n<p>Upon closer inspection, the staff \u2063made a horrifying discovery &#8211; \u2064the lifeless body\u200c of \u2062the shoe&#8217;s owner inside the\u2063 tiger&#8217;s den. It became evident that \u200dfour \u200btigers had mauled\u2063 the man to death,\u200b as reported by Samaa TV.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities launched a forensic investigation to identify the victim, but his identity remained unknown. The zoo staff, however, confirmed that all employees were accounted for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our\u200d assessment so\u200b far is that\u2063 this appears to\u2064 be a lunatic, because a sensible person \u200bwould not jump into the den,&#8221; said Zaheer Anwar, Bahawalpur\u2064 Deputy \u2064Commissioner, as reported by CBS News. He pointed out that the den was secured and suggested that\u2064 the man may have jumped from the stairs behind it.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u2062The Nation, Ali Usman Bukhari, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-joe-biden-slips-and-refers-to-kamala-harris-as-president-elect-saying-quiet-part-out-loud\/\" title=\"WATCH: Joe Biden Slips and Refers to Kamala Harris as \u2018President-Elect\u2019\u2026 Saying \u2018Quiet Part\u2019 Out Loud\u2019?\">deputy director<\/a> of the\u200c wildlife department, stated that security personnel did not hear any unusual noises from the \u200dtiger habitat the\u2064 night before or on \u200bthe morning of the\u200d incident.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you visit zoos?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes<\/li>\n<li>No<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"firefly-poll-disclaimer\">Completing this poll entitles\u2064 you to\u200b The Western Journal news updates free of charge\u2063 via email.
