CBS NewsMan attacked by tiger in England after entering enclosure at wildlife park

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere it is, the story we hinted at: a man climbed into the wrong enclosure.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAt Yorkshire Wildlife Park, near Doncaster, police say he went in with a tiger and was attacked.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPolice have not said how he is, and I hope he recovers. It's a reminder that the fence is the whole point of the fence.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorABC and CBS both say he entered the enclosure himself. Nobody pushed him. Nobody dared him on camera, as far as we know.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs far as we know.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, that is a terrible thing to suggest about a stranger.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI suggested nothing. The tiger was the only one at that park with a plan.
