JAKARTA - A zoo officer in Shanghai, China was killed by a herd of bears. The unfortunate incident occurred in front of the visitor.

The heavy equipment deployed by the Shanghai Wild Animal Park (SWAP) was unable to save the guard's life. A visitor's social media post goes viral.

Visitors who boarded the bus while passing through the scene clearly showed how a number of bears attacked the guard horribly.

In the post, an excavator operator working near a large bear enclosure attempted to feed a pack of occupants, but failed. In fact, the bears were seen dragging the zookeeper's body.

The driver was forced to shut himself in the excavator until the police came to the scene. This terrible incident sparked debate in the cyberspace of Chinese citizens.

Several netizens expressed their sympathy for the victim. Others suspect the victim has violated safety protocols until a pack of bears attacks him.

The management is currently still investigating the case. The dangerous animal sector has been closed since that incident.

People who have bought tickets but have not had time to enter the tourist attraction can get a refund.
