VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The tiger involved in Thursday's fatal mauling near 100 Mile House will be put down. In a deal made with the owner, the other two big cats in the compound will be kept alive. Tanya Dumstrey-Soos was killed in the unusual attack on Thursday, she's the girlfriend of the farm's owner Kim Carlton who used to live in Abbotsford.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals says it should be a wake up call to BC politicians. They say that although it’s tragic, it's not all that surprising since there's a number of un-regulated roadside zoos across the country. Many of them operate with very little rules. They've conducted undercover investigations and found lots of animals in poorly constructed cages with inadequate safety features.
