Alex Black came face to face with an escaped lion when she was just 10 days into her unpaid internship at a private animal sanctuary.
The 22-year-old had been preparing deer meat to feed the big cats, and suddenly found herself alone, staring down the lion in a place where it could have reached visitors, according to her aunt, Virginia Black.
"We still want more answers and certainly the public deserves to have more answers," Black told The Associated Press in an interview."I think what happened to Alex is a call to action." It's unclear how Matthai — a 14-year-old male with 2.5-inch long upper canine teeth — escaped. The medical examiner cited an animal trainer who said a ball kept a gate from closing. The center said it was"neither accurate nor plausible" that a 28-inch wide lions' play ball blocked the gate, but offered no alternative explanation.
Evans then drove to retrieve a blow gun, and hit the lion twice with tranquilizer darts, to no apparent affect. Law enforcement officers ultimately shot the lion eight times, the sheriff's report said. An unannounced USDA inspection in January 2019, one month after Black's death, found the center had"no non-compliant items," and the department declined to say if it's still investigating. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration declined to discuss its separate investigation, which it expects to finish in June.
