Man dies after jumping into tiger enclosure at Yorkshire zoo

Darwin rules win again although the talk is that the person was mentally disabled/impaired - does make it a terrible tragedy! I have seen many TikTok/Youtube shorts and videos of people just playing around with dangerous cats...I hope that sound minded people don't require disclaimers stating the obvious fact that tigers/lions/bears (oh my) can kill you and are NOT pets but then again, some people vote ANC/MK/EFF so it seems disclaimers might be needed.
 
A mother attempted to stop the man who was killed by a tiger from jumping into its zoo enclosure, witnesses have said.

Anthony Hunt and his girlfriend Scarlet Hogan, who were visiting Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday, told The Telegraph that the woman “desperately tried to pull back” the victim as he tried to jump into the compound.

"The man who I saw on the bridge with his AirPods in dancing was happily enjoying seeing the tiger,” one woman said. “He obviously wasn't with anyone and he asked a total stranger to take a picture of him with the tiger in the background.

Wonder if he was listening to "eye of the tiger"

Apparently the tiger broke his neck while smacking him around.

Saw a doccie on this once. That is their favorite form of attack.

From behind with claw strike to back of the head/neck. In doccie they put a dummy out and that is exactly what the tiger did.

Nearly decapitated the dummy with a single blow.

Indeed...with the typical violent behavior too.

"Coming ova ere an eating are bridge jumpers..."

I suggest Patriot Platform take this up as a matter of urgency. They should confront tigers in every zoo they can find, harass them and demand that they leave the area, and then stream the resulting footage - once their Meta glasses had been removed from a steaming pile of tiger dung.

That would be the patriotic thing to do!
