Two brown bears escaped their enclosure following high winds on Friday
Two brown bears have been shot and killed after escaping from a zoo enclosure.
Whipsnade Zoo in Dunstable said the animals were euthanised by zookeepers on Friday, after using a fallen tree to get into a neighbouring enclosure.
The zoo's chief curator, Malcolm Fitzpatrick, said the two female bears, named Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, had attacked a male boar.
He said it had been "an incredibly upsetting and difficult day".
"As brown bears are strong and dangerous predators, our first priority is safety," he said.
"We must quickly make decisions informed by our experience and expertise to protect our people, guests and our other animals." |
