Feeding Animals At Small Zoo
Wednesday, November 17, 1999 Associated Press KEYMAR, Md., Nov. 16—A deer attacked a man who was feeding the animals at a family-owned zoo today and gored him numerous times, the Frederick County sheriff's office said. Bradley Gerwig, operator of the Deer Haven Mini Zoo, was feeding the animals when a buck attacked him, goring him in the stomach and chest and injuring his head. Gerwig was in an enclosed area when the animal attacked. He was treated at a hospital and released, a family member said last night. The zoo has about 20 deer, as well as bear, large cats and emu. The zoo is licensed by the Maryland Department of Agriculture. © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press |
