Day of Closed Animals: will the Taigan Park stop working after the lion attack

Investigators have already opened a case on violation of labor protection requirements, which resulted in serious harm to health.

Lev attacked Zubkov on June 22. The animal inflicted multiple wounds on the man. The victim underwent surgery, and his condition was stabilized. As noted by Tatiana Aleksagina, head of the Taigan press service, the lion attacked Zubkov because he attracted the animal's attention by the sharp sound of the door closing.

Zubkov returned to work on July 5. He later revealed the details of the incident. According to Zubkov, he violated the allowed distance between himself and the lion before the predator attacked.
