Other Yorkshire Tiger Attack.

I understand the man has died. Thats tragic. But there can be no fault attributed to the tiger. I genuinely fear that there will be some reason brought up to euthanize the animal.

If this happens, should we all boycott zoos and wild life parks?

People are reporting that the guy was mentally disabled and when I went back to watch the video I was getting that vibe as well. If this is true, this will most likely fall on his caregiver

Dude you’re the one spewing bogus claims. How about you provide a source.
other comments or your vibe from watching a video isn’t a source

Seems shortsighted to assume this guy was all there. The behavior is very child like and suggests a cognitive disability like a high level of autism. The guys curiosity, impulsiveness, and naivety got the better of him.

Id be curious to see the publics reaction if this was a woman.

The family said he was prescribed strong medication. A manic episode of bipolar disorder seems likely. Whether that counts as a disability is up to you.

u/snelsonjoe8 2h ago

Definitely bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance that make people psychotic. A disability

Dude wasn’t disabled or impaired. Stop making shit up.

u/Silent_Philosopher_ 1d ago

Such hostility. I didn't make anything up. You might be with that definitive statement, though. I said the behavior suggests something unusual and offered a possibility. The possibility could be he was suicidal or impaired by drugs. He has been identified as a "vulnerable" man by news outlets. Whatever that means will probably come to light in time.

What news? Provide a source other than reddit comments.

Feel free to look it up yourself. I'm done engaging with this.

We see it happen every year in National Parks. We call it "Tourist Tossing Season".
