Sad but true. Even so, the tiger didn't look starved and it didn't pounce right away as if it was. Likely there was a meal in storage for it nearby that one of the workers there could have accessed quickly. Just a matter of changing the feeding schedule a bit under the circumstances, I would think. And why wouldn't the guy filming or any of the other onlookers there take a minute to run over to a concession stand to buy a sandwich as bait? What all that tells me, if this really did happen as it seems, is that there were likely signs in the area, too, saying, "Don't Feed the Animals" and the people of India are generally conditioned to be compliant in the extreme or something.
This guy knew that his name wasn't Daniel, and yet, he jumped in.
He might have fallen in, I don't know, but it was a tiger -- not a den full of lions. Why didn't anyone try to shoot it with a tranquilizer gun? There again it seems that a cultural conditioning of compliance might be a factor. Like, "Can't go get that unless you already have a carry permit."
What can we say?
Indians are better at charming cobras than tigers, I suppose.
Edited wording of next to last sentence, paragraph 1.
It's India, I wouldn't expect an immediate first-world styled response. Tiger killed because it's predatory instinct said "DO IT!!". They are killers, after all....

Yes, tigers are that. India being a nuclear power, the world's biggest gold importer and also having acquired many of America's jobs from outsourcing here, I don't know why it's not more "first world-like" than it is -- although that's been on a downslope for a long time. I think I know what you mean, though. A Soviet-era Russian might have forced its jaws apart to show it who's boss. An American from the Bayou region might have gone over to a gator pond instead just to wrestle one to the ground for fun. A Spaniard might have tried to outrun a Brahma Bull. An Australian might have rather boxed a kangaroo or go for a swim in the shark tank. I'm not trying to be flippant, just saying...I would have liked to see an Indian Rope Trick expert show up there in time to rescue that man.
