ANGRY TIGRESS

FEEDING TIME INCIDENT | Paw Thrust Through Bars Press Association —Copyright. Whangarei, June 14. An employee of Soles’ International Circus, Mr Thomas Vennock, aged 32, while feeding the animals in the menagerie tent late last night, received a deep cut in the index finger o* his right hand from the claws of a Bengal tigress. Mr Vennock, who is an electrician ■ attached to the circus, in the absence ■ of the superintendent of the zoo was feeding the animals in the menagerie tent, including a pair of Bengal tigers who had just finished their act in the performing cage. Agitated after their performance in the circus, the animals become fiercer at meal times. When parcelling out their meat Mr Vennock approached too close to the cage and the tigress, which has a reach of three feet from the bars, thrust out a paw, striking his hand, the sharp claw inflicting a deep cut in the index finger.
