Beijing: A 20-year-old migrant farmer, identified as Guo visiting the Great Wall was mauled to death by a Siberian tiger after trying to take a shortcut through a wildlife reserve.
The farmer and two companions from Xingtai, Heibei province, had visited a remote part of the Great Wall on Saturday. On their way home, the farmers ignored warning signs and climbed over three fences, including a meter-high electric fence, to enter Badaling Wild Animal World, a four- square-kilometer breeding ground that has more than 10000 wild animals.
As soon as Guo jumped down from the fence into the park, one tiger instantly pounced on him and bit him in the throat, police explained to Beijing Times. The other two farmers escaped and alerted the authorities.
Paris: A commuter train hit a group of football fans walking on rails in a Paris suburb, killing two brothers and injuring 11. The Lille fans took a short cut along the railway tracks after watching their team beat champions Lyon at the Stade de France.
Quote to remember: “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going – Beverly Sills”.
