(ECNS) -- The state-owned People's Insurance Company of China Group (PICC), one of the country's largest insurers, has suspended cooperation with Beijing Badaling Safari World where a woman was killed and another injured in a tiger attack.
PICC's Beijing branch said in a statement that neither the injured nor the dead purchased its accident insurance products.
It remains unknown if the two victims bought a safety guarantee card issued by the park before they left a car against warnings and were attacked by tigers.
The card, with a premium of 5 yuan (75 cents), was said to cover a total insured amount of 120,000 yuan ($18,000).
According to the park, the card enables the purchaser to receive the same benefits as those who change the card into a formal insurance policy at PICC.
But the company said purchasers must change the park's card into a formal insurance policy in order to be valid.
The statement said PICC suspended cooperation with the park and also called on it to stop issuing safety guarantee cards to avoid unnecessary conflict.
The park reopened on Aug. 25, one month after the sensational tiger attack.
PICC's Beijing branch started cooperation with the park on April 1, 2015 generating 7,000 yuan in total insurance premiums before the incident.
