Just now, Beijing Wild Animal Park issued a statement to restore the incident of "white tiger exhibition area tourists breaking in".

Beiqing – Beijing headline reporter learned that the statement said that the intruders and 11 white tigers confronted, on October 23, 2021, at about 14:00 p.m., the Beijing Wild Animal Park self-driving tour area of the White Tiger exhibition area illegal intrusion incident. Fortunately, due to the contact with the safety protection devices in the development area, coupled with the timely rescue of the on-site staff, the intruders were not injured. The animals in the exhibition area exit the exhibition area after the staff has driven away and returned safely to the animal house. The intruder is currently under investigation after being taken to the hospital by the local police for a physical examination.

According to the situation learned at the scene, when the staff responsible for the safety inspection of the White Tiger Exhibition Area of the self-driving tour area patrolled outside the exhibition area, they found that a tourist suddenly got off the car in violation of the law from the self-driving vehicle, and the tourist did not pay any attention to the dissuasion of the staff, but accelerated his pace and ran through the protective slope and jumped into the isolation ditch of the exhibition area. The staff shouted at the intruders not to move, while feeding the animals food to distract them, and quickly reported the emergency to their superiors.

In the process of rescue, the intruder never obeyed the rescue password of the staff, climbed from the bottom of the isolation ditch to the side of the exhibition area, confronted the 11 white tigers in the exhibition area, and constantly provoked the animals with words and actions.

Because there are multiple safety protection facilities and equipment in the exhibition area, one of the hidden devices plays a key protective role, so that there is no substantial contact between the intruder and the animal. After the outbreak of the emergency, beijing wildlife park quickly activated the safety emergency plan, and successively used food lures, firecrackers and other methods to drive the animals away from the exhibition area. Subsequently, the staff entered the exhibition area to subdue the intruders and take them away.

Beijing Wild Animal Park would like to thank all the tourists and friends who were driving through the White Tiger Exhibition Area of the self-driving tour area at the time of the incident, and it is precisely because you actively cooperated with the command and guidance of the staff of the exhibition area that you won valuable time and space for our rescue work, and let us save a person's life together.
