The incident happened at night - someone “helped” the lions to enter the boundaries of the cage, and this already qualifies as a criminal act.

The director of the center, Sergei Palekhin, said: “At night, unknown people broke the locks on the doors of the enclosure, I discovered this in the morning. As a result of this, two lions ran out"

The Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service in the Khmelnitsky region said that a UAV unit would be involved in searching for the lion..

The Khmelnytsky Rehabilitation Center for Wild Animals contains animals that are rescued and transported from areas where fighting takes place, as well as those that are found in the wild weakened or damaged by predators and unkind people.
