Sanctuary founder Patty Perry reportedly fell after a tiger wrapped its paws around her legs and another jumped onto her and 'began to pull on her.'
A woman was injured by tigers at her Moorpark animal sanctuary Saturday during an event put on to thank donors and supporters of her conservation group.
“They were playing with her,” said Bradbury, who also represents Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Inc. as an attorney. “It was not anything more serious than that. But when you’ve got a 600-pounder that’s playing with you, that’s a little different than your house cat.” Bradbury said Perry had some lacerations on the side of her head and some puncture wounds on her neck, but “nothing life threatening.” She was still in the hospital as of early Sunday afternoon, he said.
A Ventura County Animal Services field supervisor said he had little information on the incident as of Sunday morning.Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Inc. is a nonprofit founded more than a decade ago to educate the public about conservation. Its annual revenue was just over $1.1 million in 2017, according to state filings. Bradbury said the Moorpark facility has some 50 animals on site, including leopards, birds of prey and zebras.
