A rare white tiger fatally mauled a Japanese zookeeper, but the bereaved family wants to keep it alive
白虎兇猛：日本動物園管理員被咬死，但是死者家庭不希望殺死這隻白虎
在週一，日本某動物園有一隻白虎咬死管理員。但是死者家屬不希望殺死這隻白虎。
It’s been more than half a century since a white tiger was last seen in the wild. The last one known to roam freely was shot in 1958, and the hundreds that remain now live in captivity.
On Monday, one of those captive tigers fatally mauled a man at a zoo in Japan. But rather than opt for revenge, his family is intent on keeping the rare animal alive.
Zookeeper Akira Furusho was found gravely injured in a white tiger enclosure in Hirakawa Zoological Park on Monday, bleeding from his neck, local media reported. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
