Florida: Siberian tiger burst through its pen, mauls park employee

 CENTER HILL – A worker at an exotic animal park in northern Florida was fatally mauled by a tiger Tuesday, authorities said. The man, who handled various chores at Savage Kingdom, entered a cage to make repairs, and the animal burst in from an adjoining pen. “For lack of a better word, it busted through,” Sumter County Sheriff’s Lt. Gary Brannen said.  He said the parks operator, Robert Baudy, shot the mixed-breed Siberian tiger so rescue crews could get inside.  Paramedics said the man suffered a fatal bite to his neck as well as severe injuries to his head, arm and ribs.
