The mother of a girl bitten by a pig in the Tomsk zoo filed a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor. Victoria reported this to socialbites.ca. The woman claims they were not given instructions on how to treat animals at the zoo. According to him, other children also suffered from pig bites.
“We went to the zoo, we were offered to buy a glass of food to feed the animals, there were no instructions. We calmly walked towards the pig. There was no signage informing people to keep a distance of at least one meter. A child was standing next to him [уже] was bitten by a pig. We approached, my daughter was standing and I was sitting next to her. Lisa (name changed – socialbites.ca) had a glass of food in her hand. The pig unexpectedly jumped out of the window of the compartment with its mouth and paws, grabbed the glass with my child’s hand and dragged it towards itself. We tried to open his mouth but nothing worked. “As a result, the animal was afraid of our screams and let go of the child’s hand,” said Victoria.
The woman added that she went to the hospital with her daughter immediately after the incident and the child’s x-ray was taken there. She also asked the zoo management to refund the ticket money but was refused.
“Liza was bandaged. My hand hurts. Even though he hasn’t done anything to himself, his fingers are swollen. We will go to the surgeon again on Monday. Another parent, whose child was bitten by a pig at the same zoo, called the traumatology department. No one returned the money, zoo employees quietly continued their work. I applied to Rospotrebnadzor and explained the situation. We were very lucky that El survived to some extent because this is a huge pig, not a little pig. The zoo management does not react in any way, I wrote to them by e-mail, but they remain silent. But in the evening, after my post on Tomsk’s public page, the administration published a message on the zoo’s page,” the woman concluded.
Tomsk Zoo, where the incident occurred, told socialbites.ca that they apologized to the child’s mother on social networks. They believe that the woman has no claims against them.
“We have already given all the comments on social networks. They wrote that they were sorry. Situation [ребенка] “This is normal, nothing scary, nothing critical,” the zoo said.
