Even though a man was mauled to death by a tiger and three-year-old was attacked in crocodile enclosure, experts say public protection is robust

On a busy Saturday afternoon at a zoo in Yorkshire, visitors looked on in horror as a man climbed into a tiger habitat, minutes after posing for a photograph beside it.

Eyewitnesses said he scaled a metre-high viewing barrier, before dropping into the enclosure below, overpowering a woman who tried to pull him back.

While some heard the former Black Midi frontman out, others made for the exit as he addressed accusations

When Geordie Greep finally took to the stage in Vancouver this week, noticeably without his band, the crowd was hushed and the atmosphere tense. His lateness, however was the least of his problems.

Greep, a Brit school graduate and the former frontman of Black Midi, had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman while on tour. Flyers had been handed out outside the venue spelling out the allegation against him. “Let him know what Vancouver thinks of rapists,” they read.
