A visitor has been arrested for attempting to trespass inside a zoo’s cage to get a closer look at the tiger’s eye. The incident happened Monday at the Franklin Park Zoo in the United States. Matthew Abraham, 24, was arrested by Massachusetts State Police following a complaint from zoo officials.
He was apprehended while trying to enter the tiger’s cage above the gate at a place where visitors are not allowed to enter. When a zoo official noticed the intruder, Matthew ran away and tried to escape. But the security officer caught him. During interrogation, Mathew explained that he liked tigers so much that he tried to enter the cage with the desire to see them up close.
He jumped over the wall and entered the zoo without paying for the visit. He crossed several boards and fences denying entry and approached the tiger’s cage. But despite many attempts, Mathew was unable to enter the tiger’s cage named Anala.
When asked by the media, Mathew replied that he had come to the zoo only as a spectator and was trying to get inside because he wanted to see the tiger’s eye up close. It is said that the most terrifying sight in the world is the tiger’s eye. This is what prompted him to climb into the tiger cage. He says he did not intend to harm the tiger or anyone else, but only out of curiosity regarding how the tiger would react if a human approached him.
