Workers at a Florida wildlife park shot and killed a white rhinoceros less than 24 hours after its arrival at the park last September, a report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission found.
Investigators were called to the Wild Florida park about a week later following an anonymous tip that stated the shooting of the rhino was unnecessary. The report said no action was taken against the park.
Upon the rhino's arrival, park workers told investigators that the animal acting"very wild" and tearing at its enclosure, the report said. The animal eventually calmed down and was left overnight, the report said, and the park was closed the next day to let the rhino adjust. The following morning, a few workers were on site when the rhino broke through the main enclosure.
"For more than twelve years, Wild Florida's mission has been to provide an unforgettable Everglades experience that promotes a connection with animals while inspiring education and conservation. Unfortunately, we are sometimes faced with unforeseen situations and circumstances that require an immediate response to ensure the continued safety of visitors, staff, neighbors, and, most importantly, animals in our care," the park said in a statement.
