Entering the tiger enclosure at the Chengdu Zoo in China’s southwest Sichuan province, a man made vigorous, but unsuccessful, attempts to entice the animals to eat him, a Chinese newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“I asked them to bite me and let them eat my meat, and so I did not fight back,” 27-year old Yang Jinhai told the Chengdu Business Daily.
Yang, who according to his brother suffers from mental health issues, climbed a tree to breach the enclosure. Stunned visitors witnessed how he made “exaggerated movements” for 20 minutes to tempt the Bengal tigers, but while scratching him and dragging him by the back of his neck, the beasts refused to devour him.
Zoo keepers finally tranquilized the tigers in order to rescue Yang, who is now being treated for depression.

There's something strange about that word "finally". It's as if they got bored of standing around waiting for him to get eaten, and finally tranquilized them.
i do not understand why the tigers had ti be tranquilized?
Have you forgotten that tigers are one of the most dangerous predators in the world. They are even capable of beating a lion in battle going as far back as Ancient Roman Colosseum fights.
One of mine harasses the holy heck out of me until I finally give her a piece to try, then she sticks her nose up and walks away. The black and white male loves human food, specifically steak, lunch meat, cheese, pizza, popcorn, pasta, ice cream, fish, tortilla chips and poultry. He can drive you crazy with his begging, but at least he'll usually eat what you give him. He should be feeding us since we once spent $1k on him to keep him alive. Yeah, yeah, I know, no cat is worth $1k. The funny thing is that I had already paid $100 to have him put to sleep (it broke my heart), but right before the needle, the governor (my wife) called and pardoned him.
