Girl Gets Compensated for Tiger Attack

A five-year-old girl attacked by a tiger in a local wildlife park received 18,000 yuan (about 2,176 US dollars) in compensation here over the weekend.

The Shanghai Wildlife Park accepted the ruling by a local court, and agreed to pay Shen Zhengyu 8,000 yuan in medical, transportation costs and 10,000 yuan as compensation for psychological damage.

Shen was attacked by a tiger, which scratched her face when visiting the wildlife park on November 16, 1999.

A bus driver was killed by another tiger in the park on the following day. This incident is being dealt with in a separate court case.

The park has beefed up its security precautions in the wake of the two incidents.
