Wildlife World Zoo officials told social media users the jaguar “won’t be put down” after a woman in her 30s suffered injuries to her arm following the Saturday incident.
The woman jumped a barrier at the Litchfield Park zoo and reached out to take a selfie when the big cat dug her claws into the visitor’s hand. ..."
Adam Wilkerson, who was at the zoo on Saturday, told FOX10 he heard the woman scream for help.
"I hear this young girl screaming, 'Help, help, help,' and without thinking, I just run over there.
I see another girl with her up against the cage of the jaguar and the jaguar has clasped its claws outside of the cage around her hand and into her flesh," Wilkerson told the news station.
Wilkerson said his mother threw a water bottle into the cage to distract the jaguar just enough for her to let go of the woman’s arm.
"The jaguar lets go of the girl somewhat because the claw catches on just her sweater. At that moment, I grabbed the girl around the torso and pulled her away from the cage and it unlatches from her claw,” he recalled.
“The jaguar just goes after the bottle.”
Wilkerson took video showing the woman on the ground with a gash on her arm screaming in agony. Several people were seen attempting to help her as they waited for help.

I put a stop to the coyotes circle every chance I get.
I think the Jaguar should be allowed to finish its meal.
Seen more then one kid try to get a bear and a mountain lion to talk to them at the local animal park.
“They were here first don’t you know.”
Ask how they know that.
Get a blank stare and then laugh why walking away.
Do idiot things and expect severe results. No one who is 30 should be this stupid…probably too many Walt Disney animal movies as a child.
Probably votes Democrat and believes socialism is a good thing too.
Should have left her bleed out, that way she would never pass on her genes.
Brain dead woman in her 30s. No surprise that video of this life experience reveals multiple tramp stamps.
The zoo should be able to sue this women for anything she may have including her phone. People need to learn and taking a cell phone may the best punishment. Start a no phone list for stupid people.

Yup, my favorite question. “How do you know that?”
A variation is “Did someone tell you that or did you make that up all on your own?”
Another event from back in late 2018

Oh please, an entire generation was raised on Disney, including me and my family, and the vast majority of that generation knows the difference between a cartoon and real-life predators.
There’s stupid people out there that don’t need Disney as an excuse for their idiotic behavior.
