The context of Taigan Park and the lions
Taigan Park, located in Russian-occupied Crimea, is one of the largest facilities of its kind in Europe and is home to around 60 lions across its sprawling 30 hectares. This was not the first time that attacks had occurred at the site. In previous years, similar events have raised questions about the safety and management of large predators, including a case in 2021 in which a tiger caused serious injuries to a child.
After the accident, the owner of the park, Oleg Zubkovhas been embroiled in controversy, with murder charges reaching the country’s courts. While Zubkov accuses Perevalova of human error, others, such as Mikhail Zaltsman, her longtime collaborator, question this point. Zaltsman argued that Perevalova would never have made such a basic mistake, alluding to possible safety issues overlooked by the park.
The tragic death of Leokadia Perevalova highlights the practice of animal management in captivity. Investigations are underway to clarify the circumstances of the accident, as well as the responsibility for ensuring the safety of park employees. In addition to the legal aspect, the tragedy highlights the need for rigorous protocols and constant monitoring to prevent such incidents from happening again.
