Being- can't be omitted in this sentence?

Hello all.

While being fed by a new keeper , the tiger bite her.

While fed by a new keeper, the tiger bite her.

While the tiger was being fed - something happened - he bite her.

Do you think I could omit "being" in this sentence + the meaning of the sentence would stay the same? I think I could do so as the "while" implies the "past continuous" tense itself and therefore no "being" is needed here.

Is my idea correct? Thank you.
