I had a cousin that met his end in a zoo like this. He was eaten by lions. No joke. He was high on LSD.
I've had a number of friends and associates over the years that met untimely ends under the influence of psychoactive candy. That's why I'm not over-fond of recreational euphoria.
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.
