And what have we learned from this, little children? Don't try this at home!
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends. Paul Craig Roberts "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." Frederic Bastiat

Big cats are strong. And even a house cat can hurt you pretty bad if they get wound up.

That does not appear to be a white man. I figure it's a Chinkerese.

India. Poor drunken sot probably weighed 140 lbs. "...a drunk man, identified as Maqsod, having hopped into the tiger exhibit at the New Delhi Zoo in India. Despite having been warned several times to be careful, the man reportedly jumped in..."

Bad case of "the rules don't apply to me".
When government gains the power to control the use of private property, it becomes possible for the politically dominant to profit by high commodity prices using government regulation to constrain supply. One merely drives competitors out of business by manipulating the perception of risk to a land use preferred by a democratic majority. - Mark Edward Vande Pol

Don't expect anyone in India to throw food at a tiger on the chance of baiting it away from a person so they could possibly escape. And what have we learned from this,

They don't have so much spare food there. This guy knew that his name wasn't Daniel, and yet, he jumped in. What can we say?

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.

Damn - that's awful. I mean that's really, really awful. Speechless.

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. 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." Indians are better at charming cobras than tigers, I suppose. Edited wording of next to last sentence, paragraph 1. They don't have so much spare food there.

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.

Maybe they didn't want to simply turn a hose on that tiger either if there was one around because of water conservation orders from the UN. True dat. Raj ain't gonna waste his sammich on a fool.

Well yeah, I reckon they have to follow orders, especially orders from the UN (Useless Nuts).
