  "account": "A zookeeper at Beekse Bergen safari park has passed away following an attack by a leopard on Saturday. The experienced employee, who had dedicated nearly four decades to working with animals, was one of the park's most dedicated members. Two male Persian panthers, a type of leopard, sought refuge inside an enclosure within the park during a period of inclement weather. It remains uncertain how or why the incident transpired, as there is no available CCTV footage and entering an indoor enclosure with the animals is highly uncommon. The keeper managed to alert park staff for assistance through a walkie-talkie during the altercation, but sustained severe injuries to her head and neck. Emergency responders, including an air ambulance, swiftly arrived at the scene. Due to the severity of her injuries, officials at the park indicated that it was improbable she would survive. An investigation into the unfortunate event has been initiated by the labor inspectorate.",
