An animal handler was killed Saturday by a tiger at Growler Pines Tiger Preserve in southeastern Oklahoma, the organization confirmed Sunday.
The preserve, located near Hugo, close to the Texas border, described the death of Ryan Easley as “an accident” involving a tiger under his care. In a statement on its Facebook page, the facility said, “This tragedy is a painful reminder of both the beauty and unpredictability of the natural world. Ryan understood those risks — not out of recklessness but out of love. The animals under his care were not just animals to him, but beings he formed a connection with — one rooted in respect, daily care, and love.”
Growler Pines said all tours are canceled until further notice. The private preserve allows visitors to book tours to see tigers and watch demonstrations on how the animals are trained and cared for.
