Post guidelines

Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Okay so the only thing the article gets clear is that this lady in her 50s was in a staff only area in the lions enclosure when she got attacked. Zoo staff were cleaning the enclosure when it happened so nobody other than the victim saw the lion when it attacked.

Zoo policy is that staff never enters an enclosure with an adult lion in it. (I wonder how they do vet checks but hey what do I know).

This suggests it was staff responsibility/negligence for allowing her alone in with a lion, however, we don't know:

-whether the staff knew there was a lion still in there -whether they knew the woman was there

So they are going to take their time in until they figure out exactly how and why and who is responsible for it
