Summary:
A tiger cub bit a woman’s hand during an exhibit at the Tampa Bay Auto Mall. Two adult tigers and two cubs were on display so people could have their photographs taken with the tigers. The tigers were supplied by Bottomline Events, in conjunction with Zoo Dynamics, which provided animals to zoos and exhibits. Their caretaker was charged with unsafe handling of captive wildlife, resulting in injury to person.
