A tiger escaped from a private facility on the outskirts of Leipzig, Germany, on Sunday and was shot dead by police after seriously injuring a 72-year-old keeper who was inside its enclosure. Officers responded to an emergency call shortly before 1:00 p.m. local time, located the male tiger after it broke free, and killed it to prevent any further risk to the public. The site near the town of Schkeuditz is believed to belong to Carmen Zander, a controversial private trainer known as Germany's "Tiger Queen," who kept eight big cats there and offered paid public petting sessions; local officials and animal rights groups are now calling for the remaining animals to be relocated and for stricter regulations on privately owned wildlife.
