On the 10th June 2016 the zoo was fined for health and safety breaches which caused a keeper to be mauled to death by a tiger. Sarah McClay, 24, originally from Glasgow, died at South Lakes Wild Animal Park in Dalton-in-Furness, south Cumbria, in May 2013. A Sumatran tiger, which got through an unlocked gate, left deep puncture wounds in her neck and body. The zoo, now known as South Lakes Safari Zoo, was fined £297,500 at Preston Crown Court.
