ADVERTISEMENT The 9-year-old lioness, named Jameila, was shot on Tuesday by an employee of Mogo Zoo in Mogo, about 190 miles (300 kilometers) south of Sydney, the zoo's business manager John Appleby said. Jameila never reached a public area, but officials were concerned she might and decided to shoot her, Appleby said. "She was moving quite slowly towards a public area, but under the circumstances a decision was made to put her down," he said. "Because it was a lion, it was considered a dangerous animal, and protocol is if there is any potential risk to the public a decision would be made." Zoo officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment on how the animal escaped its enclosure. About 30 visitors were at the zoo _ home to more than 200 animals _ when the lion broke loose. Zoo officials alerted visitors, who hid in several buildings throughout the grounds until the animal was killed, Appleby said. "I wouldn't say there was any panic _ I think it was all very controlled," he said. Staff members were devastated by the death of the cat, which was born at the zoo. "It's an absolute loss," Appleby said. "The team are still quite upset."
