Animal rights group: USDA should investigate tiger escape

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) _ The animal rights organization PETA says the escape of a tiger at the Honolulu Zoo violated the Animal Welfare Act.

They have called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to investigate the incident.

Lisa Wathne of PETA says the act requires wild animals to be handled safely and their enclosures are to be secured at all times.

The zoo's 245-pound Sumatran tiger, Berani, was discovered wandering around an unsecured area just before the zoo's opening Thursday. Officials say a zoo keeper accidentally left two gates unlocked, allowing the tiger to escape from its enclosure.

City services director Sidney A. Quintal says the mistake was unintentional, and the zoo makes every effort to follow guidelines about the health and welfare of animals in captivity.
