13-year old Tiger kills female zookeeper

 

 

A 38 year old female employee, Stacey Konwiser who had worked at the  Palm Beach Zoo for over three years and took care of 4 Malayan Tigers was mauled to death by one of the Tigers she trained on Friday.

 

 

 

Reports from the Palm Beach stated that she was performing a routine procedure in the night house where the tigers sleep at about 1:45pm in preparation for her show which was scheduled at 2pm in the Zoo when she got attacked and mauled to death by the 13-year-old tiger.

 

As soon as that happened, Animal Control was contacted about the attack but Animal Control contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission who responded to the call.

 

Zoo officials issued a code red alert after the attack and the male Malayan tiger received tranquilizers. Visitors were all moved to a safe place and all the 250 animals in the Zoo were accounted for.

 

 

 

Konwiser  was taken to St Mary's Medical Center where she later died after suffering a 'severe bite' wound, a top zoo official told the newspaper.

The zoo was evacuated and shut down and all the guests were safe. Officials say the zoo will be closed for the next two days, according to spokeswoman Naki Carter.
She told the Sun Sentinel:

'The tiger never escaped,'.'We have safety protocols for when incidents like this occur. We initiated those safety protocols.'

West Palm Beach Police said the tiger was tranquilized. Authorities had to wait until the drugs took effect on the tiger before rescue crews could get in to help the victim.

 

 

 

Malayan tigers are considered an endangered species. There are 250 and 340 of them around the world according to WWF.

 

 

Wife defends her husband who sexually molested their 4 year old daughter

Wife defends her husband who sexually molested their 4 year old daughter

 

Can you imagine this! A-48 year old father, Juan Vicente Hernandez Leon was captured in this disturbing footage which allegedly showed him sexually assaulting his 4-year old girl whom he carried on his lap in a restaurant in Mexico.

The viral video showed the man groping the little girl under the table, as she leaned against his lap. Disgustingly, the man in the footage kept talking with the rest of his group as he kept touching the little girl.

After the video was shared online, a nationwide manhunt seeking to track down the man was initiated by members of the public and by the internet activist group Anonymous.

 

Fortunately, the police found out who he was and arrested him. The sad and shocking part was that the man in the footage was the little girl's father.

He was captured as he attempted to catch a bus to Mexico City, the nation's capital.
The child was taken from the family and is now in the custody of the state's child services.

 His wife and mother of the 4 year old victim, Silvia Algomeda took to her Facebook to plead for mercy. She made a video in Spanish where she requested that users of social media help her family and help defend her husband from the lies.

 She said her Husband would never harm or molest their child that he was being falsely accused.
She complained about the 4 year old being away from her and in the care of the Government.
She also drew attention to the psychological damage that the little girl is suffering from being separated from her family by watching the Police arrest her Dad.

Algomeda said the person who made that video and uploaded the controversial video to social networks did so with ill-intentions.

 She said if it was true that her husband was molesting their daughter, why didnt the person who uploaded the video confront him right there in the restaurant if he truly believed the girl was being molested.

She said:
"You think the child would be so easy if my husband was touching her inappropriately? Of course not, she would have reacted immediately".

 

After she recorded the video, she got major backlash from EVERYONE on facebook. She has since deactivated her account.
 It should be noted, that minutes after will post the video in this social network, the woman chose to close out the account.
