Drunken Man Enters Zoo's Bear Compound
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) - A drunken man visiting the Sofia zoo entered the compound of a Himalayan bear and refused to leave, the zoo director said Monday. The man survived the incident Sunday without injuries because the door to the cage that held the 330-pound female beast was stuck, zoo director Ivan Ivanov said. The 51-year-old man jumped over the fence surrounding the outside part of the bear's compound. He sat down on a piece of lumber, taunting zoo officials and police who had rushed to the scene. ``He was drinking from a bottle of liquor and shouting to the police: `Hey come on, have you got the guts to come over here?''' Ivanov said. The bear, Mila, was watching the scene from behind the bars of her cage that is in the middle of the compound. ``She is not very friendly,'' Ivanov said. ``She eats no meat, but she could have mauled and even killed him; the guy was lucky the cage door lock had got stuck.'' Zoo officials entered the compound and locked the cage gate so that police could seize the intruder, who was later taken into custody pending hooliganism charges, Ivanov said.
