I think he either thought it was a petting zoo, or he was hitting the crack pipe. lol! Sorry to say, I don't feel as bad for him as I probably should ... the tiger probably thought he was getting a special bonus for something - a big juicy human treat !! And, then BAM !! Hit with the foam from a fire extinguisher ... how stressful for the poor animal.
Terrible story, I hope that the 'tiger' is ok ... they've disrupted his caged enviroment. I hope the zoo brings the man up on charges - he got what he deserved.
From the news article, the attack wasn't predatory just defensive. If it was predatory the tiger would have carried him away after attacking him. The fire extinguisher were to scare away the tiger while the guy was being rescuer not stop the attack.
Guy seems a bit of an animal nut. Reminds me of Antoine Yates.
I heard one newscast that the guy was suicidal. But on another newscast I heard that he was obsessive about tigers.
In any case, nobody is blaming the tiger. Actually it is being said that tiger actually saved the man's life as he could have killed him if he had wanted to.
lol u guys r funny apparently he was depressed and loved cats so much so he thought what a good way to try and kill himself/..........................how he got over that fence i dont understand the tiger should have had him for lunch and said mmmmm good lol probablyeither he was tryin to commit suicide or he was looking for a law suit
I've heard of suicide by cop but suicide by cat is a new one. If I was depressed and wanted to check out I think I'd rather take a bullet than be mauled to death.
Depends on if the tiger chewed up enough of the guy to put him over the proper daily calorie count (one approved by the mayor, of course). Then the tiger would get just water.
Apperently the guy was suicidal, there's plenty of quicker/less painful/more effective ways to end yourself. Unless he wanted to feed tigers at the same time.
