South Asia’s safety record at its zoos continues to be scrutinised after a tiger at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park in Gazipur, Bangladesh, bit off a visitor’s arm.

This is the latest in a string of incidents in the region. The Indian government recently set up a Centre for Zoo Sciences in an effort to “turnaround the functioning of [South Asia’s] zoos” after the death of a 20-year-old man at Delhi Zoo.

The most recent incident, which took place on 14 April, saw a 26-year-old man lose his hand and the lower part of his arm from the elbow downwards. According to officials, the man had climbed a wall of the park’s tiger zone and was waving at a tiger before another attacked him. The man was saved when other visitors pulled the man from the tiger’s jaw, but by then he had already lost the arm.

Following the death of a man at Delhi Zoo in September last year, wildlife experts called for South Asia’s zoos to give better training in handling emergency situations, with some pointing out the notable difference in attitude towards zoo keeping in the western world compared to the region.
