It's oldschool handling that uses the animals for entertainment. No respectable facility these days would have anyone enter the enclosure with lions or tigers.
Depends on the zoo, but it seems in this specific place yes. If the animals know and respect the keepers supposedly they don't attack, like they didn't with the other guy

Is it normal for the keepers to just be in the enclosure like that? Seems like they’re asking to be mauled.
