As it turned out, the lion cub got overly excited while pouncing for food. It swiped its front paw through the substandard protective netting and scratched the arm of a little boy who was watching excitedly from his parent's arms nearby. The boy suffered a laceration and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
The police and the forestry department had already begun an investigation, and the Zoo had been ordered to suspend operations and rectify the issues.
A classic case of putting profit before safety and disregarding regulations, ultimately leading to bitter consequences.
Yang Qi frowned and closed the news article.
An incident like this was a tragedy for the injured child and his family, the end of a career for the keeper involved, and a negative mark on the entire industry.
"Safety is no small matter. We must always remember the regulations. A reminder for us all."
Huang Zhongmu replied in the group chat.
