by Kasey Williams (Jamaica Observer) St Elizabeth, Jamaica — Jamaica Zoo Attractions has responded to a video which went viral over the weekend showing a zoo attendant’s finger being bitten by a lion at the St Elizabeth-based facility.
In a media released on Sunday, the management of the facility said it prides itself with the love, care and professional treatment of animals.
The company identified the injured man as a “contractor”.
“The actions displayed in a video by a contractor to Jamaica Zoo, is tragic and do not represent the safety procedures and policies that must be adhered to at all times at Jamaica Zoo,” the release read in part.
