Overview
- Zoo staff saw a 29-year-old visitor toss pork goulash into a lion enclosure and called police after he refused to give his personal details.
- Officers found leftover pork in his backpack, and staff said a lion had already eaten part of it.
- The zoo veterinarian collected and stored the meat for safety checks, citing the risk raw pork poses to large felines.
- Police said the feeding is not a criminal offense, though the zoo could seek payment for treatment if a lion becomes sick.
- The man told officers the lions looked hungry, and the zoo is monitoring the animals' health.
