The director of Primorsky Safari park Dmitry Mezentsev denied the information given by the former employee of the safari park Eugenia Patanovskaya that he made a story of friendship between tiger Amur and goat Timur, reports PrimaMedia.

"We do not feed tigers before we release animals into their cages. The tiger did not eat one day before he met the goat. The tiger lived with the goat in the same cage for three days. We didn’t feed the tiger during that  time.  We decided to tell about that unusual friendship only on the fourth day , " said Mezentsev .

He stressed that he did not make that story or ”make it happen.” "They were living together for two months. How we could arrange something like that . If the tiger had wanted to eat the goat, he would have done it. But, he didn’t. He ate other goats and boars who were double in size, " said Mezentsev .

Earlier the former employee of the safari park Eugenia Patanovskaya told the reporters that in fact there was no friendship between the animals, and  the tiger was full during that period.  Mezentsev’s reply was that Patanovskaya was not a spokeswoman of the safari park , but she was merely " doing different kinds of jobs . " He also said that Patanovskaya was not friendly with other employees of the park.
