File under "DUH"

GAUHATI, India (AP) - A man who stuck his arm into the tiger enclosure at a zoo in northeast India bled to death Wednesday after two big cats tore off his limb as his family and dozens of visitors watched, a zoo official said.

The man, identified as 50-year-old Jayaprakash Bezbaruah, avoided zoo safety precautions in an apparent attempt to photograph the two adult Bengal tigers up close, said Gauhati zoo warden Narayan Mahanta.

"The man ignored warnings from keepers, crossed the first barrier and stretched his hand into the enclosure that housed a male and a female tiger," he said. "The animals grabbed his limb and tore it apart at the shoulder."

Bezbaruah, who had been visiting the zoo with his wife and two children, was rushed to a local hospital but died of blood loss, said Mahanta.

"I have never encountered such a bizarre incident in my 11 years as a wildlife official. It was shocking," Mahanta said.

there are a couple of sad ironies here, the big one being that someone that stupid has 2 kids, who are very likely just as stupid.


Another being he was trying to capture a great moment to enrich his children's lives ( a close up picture of 2 tigers), and instead left them with imagary that wil haunt them for the rest of their lives.

A possible third is that if he was a hindu, he was instantly rethinking the whole "dont harm another living thing" aspect of the religion and hoping someone would shoot the fucking things before he died.



And I have to say, I find it hilarious that the ad at the top of this post was for disney movies when I read it :D

The Darwin awards are chock-full of true "What the Fuck Was this Person Thinking" stories, that, while tragic, are very entertaining. Although I think the real tragedy is that people can be so stupid.
