The zoo, in the mountainous area of Pinerolo near Turin, was closed due to financial difficulties in 2009 and its owners had not managed to relocate nine tigers and one leopard kept there, the Corriere della Sera daily reported. The tigers attacked the zoo's caretaker suddenly as he was feeding them, and his wife raised the alarm, state broadcaster RAI said. ...http://news.yahoo.com/man-killed-three-caged-tigers-italy-200517515.htmlTue, 02 Jul 2013 16:05:17 -0400Reutersman-killed-three-caged-tigers-italy-200517515WASHINGTON, June 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Safari Club International Foundation (SCI Foundation) exposed the hypocrisy of four animal rights groups in a new report released today.
