Polar bear attacks woman at Berlin Zoo

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time, police said Saturday. The bear attacks the woman during feeding time at the zoo. One adult polar bit her several times after she plunged into the moat, police said. Zoo workers tossed rescue rings toward the woman to hoist her out and distract polar bears swimming nearby, said Goerg Gebhard, a Berlin police officer. "They saved her life," Gebhard told CNN.
The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital, police said.

It's unclear why the woman entered the bear habitat, but police issued her a citation for trespassing.

the stupid woman deserved it and if they put that bear down I hope PETA get's involved (even though i am not a fan of their tactics but they do serve a purpose.)

Why is it people feel the need to go into the animals habitat - even if she fell on accident it's an animal and FEEDING TIME no less.
