Question: A white tiger mauled a zookeeper to death at a New Zealand wildlife park Wednesday as a group of tourists watched in horror, police say. The zookeeper at Zion Wildlife Gardens in New Zealand could not be saved by other staff. The attack took place at the Zion Wildlife Gardens near Whangarei, about three hours north of Auckland. Two zookeepers had gone in to clean an enclosure at the park, when one of two white tigers inside lunged at a keeper, said Sarah Kennett, spokeswoman for Northland Police. The second keeper and other zoo staff tried to pull the tiger off the man but failed. He died shortly after, Kennett said. The tiger was put down, the park said.  Watch park officials, visitors react ». A group of eight tourists who were on a guided tour of the park witnessed the Wednesday morning attack, Kennett said. "This is an incredibly sad day," the park said in a statement, adding that it would provide counseling to its employees. The Zion Wildlife Gardens is home to several endangered tigers and lions. It is best known in New Zealand as the setting for the popular television series "Lion Man." In February, an employee needed surgery after he was attacked by a white tiger, according to local media reports. Last year, the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry released documents to CNN affiliate TVNZ that said animals at the park were kept in crowded, unsanitary conditions. Inspectors were so concerned about the conditions that they considered having 40 cats put down, the documents said.

Question: By. Mark Duell. Last updated at 9:10 PM on 16th November 2011. The miracle dog who wagged his tail after surviving a gas chamber has found a permanent home. Daniel, a beagle mix named by animal control workers in Alabama after the biblical figure who survived the lion's den, joined four other rescued dogs at a home 1,000 miles away in New Jersey. He surprised workers at the animal control facility in Florence, Alabama, last month on the day he was supposed to be put down with several other animals in a stainless-steel box. Happy: Joe Dwyer, of Nutley, New Jersey, plays with his new dog Daniel, also known as the 'Miracle Dog', on Wednesday. The beagle mix got its nickname after it survived an Alabama dog pound gas chamber. The box, roughly the size of a pickup truck bed, was filled with carbon monoxide - however Daniel emerged frightened but unscathed, still wagging his tail after the scary experience. ‘He's in extremely good shape, especially in light of what he went through,’ his new owner Joe Dwyer, 50, said Wednesday after returning from a trip to the vet’s. ‘His attitude is just incredible.’ The dog was eventually flown to New Jersey by Eleventh Hour Rescue, a non-profit organisation that saves dogs slated for euthanasia, and it received more than 100 requests to adopt him. About half of applications from people around the country seeking to adopt Daniel said they were not interested in adopting another dog if he was not available. New pet: Jenna Dwyer, 20, of Nutley, New Jersey, plays with her new dog Daniel. The family received the dog last Thursday from Eleventh Hour Rescue, the organisation that took possession of him last month. Loving: Ms Dwyer plays with Daniel, who was named after the biblical figure who survived the lion's den. 'Maybe we'll get a cosmetic surgeon to make all our dogs look like Daniel,' the shelter's founder and president Linda Schiller joked last month. 'He's in extremely good shape, especially in light of what he went through. His attitude is just incredible' Joe Dwyer, new owner. Mr Dwyer said he and his family had two ‘meet-and-greets’ with Daniel before being approved for adoption, and the dog has become fast friends with the Nutley family's other four pooches. They have two dachshunds, a beagle mix and a pit bull mix. ‘By Thursday evening they were all lying down together,’ he said. ‘It was wonderful to see.’ Only three animals have survived the gas chamber at the animal control facility in Florence in the past 12 years. 'Maybe God just had a better plan for this one,' city spokesman Phil Stevenson said. Resting: Daniel relaxes on the steps of his new home in Nutley. Mr Dwyer said Daniel has become fast friends with the Nutley family's other four pooches - two dachshunds, a beagle mix and a pit bull mix. He said that the dog may have survived because his breathing was shallow thanks to a cold. Other variables that could allow a dog to survive include the number of animals placed in the chamber. 'Maybe we'll get a cosmetic surgeon to make all our dogs look like Daniel' Linda SchillerEleventh Hour Rescue president. In addition the concentration of carbon monoxide, whether the chamber is airtight or gas is leaking out and the health of the animal can also have an impact on improving their slim survival chances. At least 15 states, including New Jersey and New York, have banned carbon monoxide for euthanising shelter animals, but it is still a method used in many parts of the country. Mindy Gilbert, Alabama director for the Humane Society of the United States, said Daniel's story explains why the group pushed the Alabama Legislature to ban gas chambers for euthanizing dogs. Demonstrators were rallying in Pennsylvania on Saturday for a bill named after Daniel to ban gas chambers in the state, reported the Newark Star-Ledger.
