The story contradicts itself. She was either a) preparing the tiger for a show or b) helping the tiger to breed. I can’t imagine she was doing both at the same time or no wonder the tiger got aggressive.
I’m hoping the make-up in the photo was for some publicity photo and not what she wears to interact with the tiger or I think we can figure out why the attack happened. Maybe the tiger was just LGBT and trying to rid his species of a creepy-looking queer version of his kind.
“I’m hoping the make-up in the photo was for some publicity photo...”
It was. It was taken at a promotion for the zoo and had nothing to do with the attack.
