Just saw the video on my Facebook feed.

Infuriating to see people mostly just looking on, recording video... god damn.
Throw stones, shoes, objects... do something. What the hell people.

That's what they did, and it pissed the tiger off more...

They threw stones apparently, it caused the tiger to grab the guy and move further back to avoid being pelted.

Tiger lifted him easy and was leaping away.

I thought zoo's had tranq guns on standby? Color me surprised, and why would someone record something like this? Even if it wasn't that violent.

That tiger seemed semi tame. I agree with the assessment that it was the stone throwing that caused it to pounce.

Poor kid.

There must be people whose job it is to look after the tiger right? In a Zoo?

I can't believe after 15 minutes no one was there to help. All it would have took was for them to distract him away with meat.

I also wonder what would have happened if the guy calmly walked away. The tiger would have obviously been used to humans in some capacity. That's easy said than done though. You would kind of expect some intervention from zoo staff though.
 
He was in there for 15 minutes and no one could think of a way to get him out?

Take off pants/shirt, tie a bunch together; find a rope or a branch or something. C'mon people, it's not rocket science.

You have no problem with someone dying? This is just a random, innocent person.

I swear, GAF has some deranged people.

People have no problem with a tiger dying, another living creature... as you can see it can go either way.

No thanks. Watched a video long ago of some guy getting ripped to shreds right infront of his family when they were on a safari tour (he decided to get outta the car for better pictures). The screams :(
Yeah, that one is fake.

It is part of some old mondo film.

I feel bad for the guy, but I would think I would have tried to run, climb, bash the tiger with a rock, gouge eyes, something!! Die trying at least.

Also WTF at someone not throwing him a stick, or weapon of some kind. Sounded like they were slapping sticks or a whip or something. Give the guy a fighting chance.

At least he likely died pretty quick.

You know a tiger has the power to do it easily but seeing how he grabs him and takes him away efortlessly is still amazing.

There are 7 billion more humans left. There's stuff all tigers left, killing it for doing something natural is ridiculous.
That's what I'm trying to say. Killing an animal that acts only by instinct just because some drunk guy decided it would be funny to play with it is a stupid way of thinking.
 
Seeing that guy scared out of his mind waiting to die was intense, Fuck that zoo for being able to have such an animal without safety measures.

This infamous video still remains as the worst thing I've seen in the internet. I had completely forgotten about it and now the memories come back. It's insanely disturbing because the guy dies so slowly and painfully while the lions just lay next to him licking and occasionally biting him... And this is witnessed by his fucking family. My day is ruined now :(

Wow lol I am redeemed! But how the hell did they make it?

I remember my mom telling me my dad saw this video on tv and he couldn't sleep for days (or weeks). I hope it's fake so I can tell him that it was all for nothing!

I'm pretty much against zoos in general. I would have most of them shut down. I don't think animals should be kept in cages for our entertainment. Nature reserves and safari parks seem like a much better and healthier alternative.

Same. Fuck zoos. They should be illegal. I really don't understand how they're still around. Seriously bums me out just thinking about it.

For the US, I feel like we should just have one big, extremely well taken care of zoo for the whole country.

I don't even want to think about the conditions of zoos in some third world countries. Blahh

15 minutes and no police, no vet with a dart, nothing? What a bunch of fucking idiots. But hey, there is always Youtube!
 
God damn, the Tiger bites his whole head and drags the body around like its nothing, dude looked like at least 150 lbs if not more.

Scary animals.

Soooo, stop the slaughtering.
But wait, that does not print money, so why should humans do that.

China's only going to grow so the black market will always be there, unfortunately. India needs armed guards, stricter laws, and so much more in order to turn the tide.

Terrifying.

Still not as bad as reading about a baby falling in a dingo cage and them having a feast .. that story still gives me nightmares.
