A tiger attacked three keepers at a safari park north of Tokyo on Wednesday, with one of them having her hand bitten off, police and other sources said.
The police are investigating if there were any flaws in keeping the animal at Nasu Safari Park in Tochigi Prefecture, after its operator said it had failed to confirm that the tiger was in its fenced enclosure the previous day.
Of the three keepers, all in their 20s, a second woman was bitten in several parts of her body by the 10-year old male Bengal tiger, which is around 2 meters in length and weighs 150 kilograms, the police said. The third victim, a male keeper, was injured in the back of his head.
The female keeper who lost her right hand was transported by a medical helicopter. The two others were also taken to hospital.

Seems like not the first time. Once animals taste human flesh and blood, they will associate it with food and the attacks will continue.

Should either make a proper enclosure or put it down instead of doing safari style concept.

Article not really clear. Were the staff attacked inside or outside of its enclosure? If outisde, nobody noticed that a whole tiger went missing until too late?

:(
