Caregiver at Beekse Bergen kept asleep after panther attack

A female zookeeper was severely injured after being attacked by two male Persian panthers at a zoo in Brabant. She was conscious when taken to the hospital for surgery. The zookeeper has worked at the zoo for 25 years, and protocols typically prevent caregivers from being in the same enclosure as predators. The exact circumstances of the incident are unclear due to the absence of cameras in the enclosure, and the Labor Inspectorate is investigating. The care for the panthers remains unchanged, as they are being looked after as usual and are exhibiting natural behavior.
