A pack of stray dogs leapt the fence of Sofia's zoo and killed 13 rare animals last week, the zoo director said on Saturday.

Six dogs, probably driven by hunger in temperatures that fell to minus 15 degrees last Saturday, tore to pieces five deer and eight mouflon, zoo director Ivan Ivanov said. Two fallow deer fought the dogs and survived. Ivanov said the zoo's fences had since been reinforced and gas pistols issued to security guards.
