Picture shows a white tiger staring at the youth, minutes before it mauled him to death at the Delhi zoo on Tuesday.

Though very sad but the entire blame should be on d guy. We often see people misbehaving wid caged animals in the zoo…
shame on visitors who were busy in clicking videos rather than thinking how to save the man. if they think calmly, surely could have saved the man….this incident show that how poor is our planning n infrastructures are... we hv nothing compare to other economies of the world... we hv a BIG MOUTH n we knw hw 2 shout 4m the roof top..had it been in some other countries say in US or Europe they wud hv surely saved this guy... like by water cannon or stun guns...even if necessary they wud hv shot the tiger 2 save d guy....HUMAN LIFE is more valuable, .... i am nt only sure but certain that the ZOO officials r yet to HEAR about something know as STUN GUN.... we can just dream of devloping but it seems lik can never achieve it...even the ZOO officials cant b blamed to some extent.... after all they r not educated abut the crisis management and 99% of them hd gt d jobs on recommendation... as to say...!

I do agree that this man is guilty to trespass the area. But zoo authority more guilty for not providing any rescue measure like firing tranquilizer gun to tiger….Why did the stupid people throw stones? The guard should have told the man to stand up straight. Wild animals always prefer smaller prey...Having said all this if the Tiger decided to kill him then there is not much he could have done......why the zoo do not have tranquilizers guns??? We should always be prepared for risky situation no matter even if it is man's fault.5 to 10 minutes is too much time for emergency help…!

There are many cases when Leopard and Tiger have attacked villages and taken many lives. So if anyone comes infront of tiger, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he/she should be ready to die. Yes zoo officials are guilty without any doubt. But i am not supporting SAVE TIGER project.

Thanks a lot Santosh for this alerming post. Indeed it is a very sad incident. I am hopeful that zoo administration will improve the overall safety standards for everyone at least now.
Thanks

Really very heartbreaking incident indeed..most irksome part is that such incident could have been avoided if any one of those, i.e., either the zoo authority or those visitors, have taken steps sensibly..I will not blame the victim as I have read somewhere in the newspaper that he was mentally unfit & so was undergoing medical treatment for healing.. Besides, I can’t understand why he was allowed to work in a factory when his metal unfitness was to such an extent that he can harm himself or others..as once he already attacked one of his fellow worker with iron rod in the factory in which he used to work..really can’t comment what was the actual situation of his family & assurance given by the doctors to them regard his working but at the end yes it’s a very distressing incident..may his soul RIP..& hope such tragic incidents could be minimized or avoided in future not only with the help government & the responsible / accountable authorities but with sensible acts of us too..anyways thanx for sharing such an important issue santhosh ji..

Really a very shocking incident.
I have seen the video, till one minute the tiger did nothing, was only staring at the guy, it attacked only on the disturbance and aggression created by the public. It is stupid to instruct verbally to a wild beast.
Had the public tried to inform the zoo authorities rather taking clips, there could have been chances to save the guy.
I agree that zoo authorities can be blamed to some extent.

RIP!
I knw the mistake done by boy but it doesn’t means d punishment is like dis there no fault of boy ir tiger but there shoud b sme caution taken by guards or zoo member to save his life ,if zoo is there they should kno wat d pblms causes there .they shld b ready at any time.15 min is sufficient to save a life!
its a very bad incident.prompt action by the zoo authorities could have saved his life.pelting stones over it made to react in such an angry mode.
tears rolled down my cheeks when I saw this horrifying scenet. Were the zoo authorities sleeping, awful. Could have easily rescued the guy. Our people get emotional after things happen why not before?
Without this video evidence, there won’t be an awareness among us. While all others can’t do anything to help the victim then blaming the person who took this video is unwanted. So hereafter we should be prepared to save the lives dying infront of us. Atleast we shall save those who lay unnoticed in the road accident. ...thank you santosh ji..for this alerming post.
