From what I had heard, the man had managed to get away from his carer.
Comment on Man dies after tiger attack at wildlife park

Awful headline, this was not an attack from the tiger, this dumb fuck willingly entered the enclosure and the tiger acted as any sane person would expect.
Happy that this twat died, we don’t need their genes in the gene pool.
Now I wish that those responsible will see the sane side of this and the tiger will be allowed to live.

Still though, even if the guy wasn’t aware of his actions, the blame should lie on the carer and the zoo for not having secure enough enclosures.
The tiger is not at fault here.

Don’t think anyone is blaming the tiger. The article says the tiger is unharmed and I’d assume they would have killed it by now if they were going to.

The only mention of a carer I can find is speculation.
One witness told the Mail on Sunday the man, who had a mobile phone and was wearing AirPods, appeared to ‘psyche himself up’ by performing a ‘dance’ in the spectator area.
Speaking to The Mirror, one woman said she saw him dancing with his AirPods in around 20 minutes before the horror incident.
"The man who I saw on the bridge with his AirPods in dancing was happily enjoying seeing the tiger,” she said. “He obviously wasn’t with anyone and he asked a total stranger to take a picture of him with the tiger in the background.
"Probably the last photo on his phone. I’m not sure if he was with a carer or family member but I honestly do think he just wanted to play with the tiger.

Kinda sounds like he done too many drugs or had a mental break.

What do you call it when a tiger attacks someone?

Tigercide?

Nah, that’s when you kill your tiger. I guess you could say the guy was a tigreophile tho

The point they were trying to make is the way the headline was written makes it sound unprovoked, as if the man was just an “innocent victim” instead of the truth that he effectively goaded the tiger into doing what comes naturally.

I did not get that impression from the headline.

It’s better writing to assume humans will read their biases into things, and head that off by being as explicit as possible.
