Inspectors say a work experience student was alone with dangerous animals at South Lakes Safari Zoo.
A zoo inspection discovered "major causes for concern" including a work experience student left alone with dangerous animals, council documents show.
Cumbria Zoo Company Limited , which operates the site, said it was "incredibly disappointed" with much of what was found. They said the animals were considered category one, meaning contact with them is likely to cause serious injury or be a serious threat to life. "It took him sometime to locate the correct key, he then opened the wrong firearms cupboard and seemed unsure as to which gun he would use for which species," inspection documents said.
CZCL said it was transitioning to a new site which would address "many of the underlying infrastructure issues".
