Tiger escapes in German town after attacking keeper, prompting police intervention
In Schkeuditz, a small town near Leipzig airport, a nine-year-old tiger named Sandokan escaped after attacking a 72-year-old keeper in the enclosure of Carmen Zander, a former circus tiger trainer known as Germany’s ‘Tiger Queen’. The incident occurred on a sunny spring afternoon while local gardeners were tending their allotments, causing panic among residents. Police were called but, lacking a veterinarian or stun gun, they shot and killed the tiger approximately 30 minutes after its escape to prevent further danger. The injured keeper remains in hospital with severe bites and scratches. Authorities have opened an investigation into Zander for suspected negligent bodily harm, while local officials have called for the immediate removal of her enclosure. Zander, who has kept tigers since 2016 and has faced previous scrutiny over their living conditions, defended her care, citing her animals’ social environment and her intention to raise awareness about endangered species. Animal welfare groups, including Peta and the German Animal Protection Association, criticised the facility and demanded stronger legal regulations for keeping wild animals. The future of Zander’s remaining tigers is currently under review, pending the outcome of official investigations.
