Badaling Wildlife Park has caged all its tigers indoors following an incident on Saturday, July 23 when two female tourists were mauled by tigers, leaving one woman dead and one critically injured.

While the investigation is still underway, the incident has triggered much debate.

China Criminological Society's Zhang Qizhun said signing safety agreements with tourists does not serve as grounds of disclaiming from responsibility, citing articles from Contract Law.

Zhang Xinnian, a Beijing-based lawyer, said personal cars may break down or suffer from broken glass, or other emergencies, and are not a secure shelter for tourists; and the park, which did not factor in these risks, should shoulder the responsibility.

However, Zhu Wei, with the China University of Political Sciences and Law, argued that when animal attack's against tourists occur, a zoo's responsibilities should be based on whether the zoo was negligent, in accordance with China's Tort Law.

Zhu added that the wildlife park in this case had fulfilled their management responsibilities by sounding a horn to warn the victim of the danger.

A surveillance camera captured part of the scene, and shows the injured woman attacked by a tiger after getting out of her car.

The park has denied rumors of any tiger being executed, and is currently discussing a settlement with the families.
