Escaped tiger from 'Tiger Queen' killed after attack in Germany

Police in eastern Germany shot and killed a tiger believed to have escaped from Carmen Zander's enclosure near Schkeuditz after it attacked a 72-year-old man authorized to be in the enclosure; the animal was tracked to a garden and killed to prevent further danger. Zander, a former circus trainer known as the 'Tiger Queen,' reportedly did not have a permit to keep big cats as of last year per PETA, which called the incident a wake‑up call about safety. The tiger was one of eight at the site, and a local rescue center offered to relocate the remaining animals while officials urged the enclosure's closure.
