The family of a woman mauled to death by a lion last year while interning at a North Carolina animal preserve is pushing for new safety regulations to prevent similar attacks. Alex Black died after the lion pounced and dragged her back through an open gate into its enclosure. It doesn’t regulate facilities such as the Conservators Center, which falls under the watch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. No tranquilizer gun was on hand, and the center’s CEO, Douglas Evans, struggled to load it when one was found. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is conducting its own investigation, which is expected to wrap up in June.
