The complex was visited on Wednesday, August 25, by a public health official to verify that the animals were being properly maintained and that the facility met regulatory standards. Stache, who spent more than two decades as an animal trainer for circuses and amusement parks, has owned the leopard involved in the attack along with another since 2019.
According to the Daily Mail, Troja and 18-year-old Paris, another leopard in the compound, had once appeared in a Panasonic ad before being moved to the nearly 10,000-square-foot complex in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Speaking with Bild after undergoing the surgery, Jessica recounted how the beast “kept repeatedly biting my cheek, ear, and head.” The 36-year-old model, who was taken to the hospital with serious bleeding wounds, added that after losing consciousness the next thing she heard was the helicopter that airlifted her.
Local media had incorrectly reported that the predator had escaped from the compound and was an imminent threat. However, Burgenland district spokesman Steven Muller-Uhrig later clarified that “the animal never exploded. There is currently no danger to the population.” He explained that keeping leopards does not require a permit in Saxony Anhalt and that “it is not legally limited by the state.” However, authorities are reportedly considering revoking Stache’s license for the retirement home for show animals.
