An Australian tourist was injured yesterday after being mauled by a tiger in the Tiger Kingdom park in Phuket, Thailand
Witnesses at the scene said the attack took place when the man, Paul Goudie, 49, from Melbourne, stepped inside a cage to pet one of the larger tigers. Shortly afterwards, there was a rapid and unexpected attack during which the park attendants had to drag the victim to safety.
Mr Goudie sustained injuries to his stomach and legs and was later admitted to a Phuket hospital for emergency treatment. He is now said to be in satisfactory condition.
Tiger Kingdom opened in Phuket in August 2013 and sees hundreds of visitors per day – including young children – pay up to £70 for a full-package ticket, which allows them to visit a host of separate tiger enclosures, posing for photographs with the chained adults – sometimes even sitting on their backs - and feeding bottles to cubs.
