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.

im no tiger expert, but he may have had more success if he punched the tiger in its face. if he still didn't succeed, at least he could say that he punched a tiger in its face and lived to talk about it.
It seems to me that there are quicker, less painful ways to go other than letting tigers gnaw on you.
Also did he do this before or after feeding time. This could have made a difference.
