Trained female tiger handler attacked by tiger at Australian amusement park

Australian news agency AAP said the woman, a trained animal handler, was taken to hospital in a stable condition with injuries to her arm.

“Dreamworld acknowledges an incident involving one of the park’s tigers and a trained tiger handler,” a theme park spokesperson told AAP.

“This was an isolated and rare incident, and we will conduct a thorough review accordingly.”

Dreamworld is home to nine Sumatran and Bengal tigers on the Gold Coast in the Australian state of Queensland.
