Calls for Policy Changes After Tiger Attack
A recent tiger attack on 47-year-old handler Melissa Reynolds at Dreamworld has reignited the debate over animal captivity. Reynolds, who sustained lacerations and puncture wounds, has prompted calls to stop handlers from entering enclosures.
While the United Workers Union advocates for safer practices, wildlife expert Mathew Crowther views it as a workplace safety issue rather than a conservation matter. As discussions continue, the incident raises questions about balancing animal welfare and human safety.
