Depressed man tries suicide by tiger, gets rejected, is now even more depressed

The source on this is a Chinese newspaper and it was re-reported from an Australian source so it may not be accurate, although the accompaying image gives it some credibilty.

Entering the tiger enclosure at the Chengdu Zoo in China’s southwest Sichuan province, a man made vigorous, but unsuccessful, attempts to entice the animals to eat him, a Chinese newspaper reported on Tuesday.

“I asked them to bite me and let them eat my meat, and so I did not fight back,” 27-year old Yang Jinhai told the Chengdu Business Daily.

Yang, who according to his brother suffers from mental health issues, climbed a tree to breach the enclosure. Stunned visitors witnessed how he made “exaggerated movements” for 20 minutes to tempt the Bengal tigers, but while scratching him and dragging him by the back of his neck, the beasts refused to devour him.

Zoo keepers finally tranquilized the tigers in order to rescue Yang, who is now being treated for depression.

He wanted his death to mean something I guess.

 

[Mr.M]

He should have provoked a response. Like run away from the Tiger or act like prey. He tried to provoke it, so the Tiger thought he just wanted to play.

 

[Feenix]

He should have whipped out an IPhone and started texting.

Cats hate being ignored for electronics.

 

[Charlie Boy]

He should have coated his body in Frosted Flakes.
