Summary:

A 7-year-old boy was taken to the hospital for stitches after being attacked and bitten “bone-deep” on his neck by a 40-lb declawed African serval at the PepsiCo International picnic. The child was walking by when an unattended serval leaped on him and knocked him to the ground. Pangaea Productions was hired to bring the serval and other animals to the event as entertainment.
