Chile zoo kills lions to protect suicidal man in their cage - Polidicks

[quote]SANTIAGO: A zoo in Chile’s capital said it was forced to kill two lions on Saturday to protect a suicidal man who had entered their cage in front of aghast visitors. Security protocols kicked in immediately when staff saw the man climb down with a rope into the African lions’ enclosure, the head of Santiago Zoo, Alejandra Montalva, told television network TVN. The carnivorous felines, a male and a female, instinctively attacked and had to be put down. Anesthetic darts would not have stopped the attack in time, she explained. “We’re shaken by this because the animals in the zoo are part of our family,” Montalva said. “These were lions that had been with us for more than 20 years.” The man, in his 20s or 30s, was taken to a hospital with critical injuries. -- AFP Read More : [url]http://www.nst.com.my/news/2016/05/147061/chile-zoo-kills-lions-protect-suicidal-man-their-cage[/url][/quote] [img]http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/02881/ion_2881285a.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/7166519/Naked-man-jumps-into-a-zoos-LION-enclosure-in-bizarre-suicide-bid-and-survives.html[/url] Fucking douche

Not worth.

Why not tranquilize them? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Didn't read" - Novangel))[/highlight]

oh nvm, saw the post in whole

tranquilizers take a few minutes to kick in

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;50367874]Why not tranquilize them?[/QUOTE] Because they don't work instantly.

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;50367874]Why not tranquilize them?[/QUOTE] Read the article, the tranquilizer wouldn't have put them down in time.

so basically, this would have ended in a tragedy either way fuck's sake not sure how to feel about this

[QUOTE=Limed00d;50367900]so basically, this would have ended in a tragedy either way fuck's sake not sure how to feel about this[/QUOTE] Shoot the man, let the lions eat. we all win jk (still though)

[QUOTE=Limed00d;50367900]so basically, this would have ended in a tragedy either way fuck's sake not sure how to feel about this[/QUOTE] As long as you don't have the opinion of "Those lions deserved to die" or "That guy should've died", you're good.

Now every animal supporter will lose their shit and demand the zoo to shutdown It's already happening in Facebook (at least on my side)

Why even choose such a horrible way to die? I wouldn't imagine lions would kill things super fast. Wasn't there a guy who did a similar thing last year with a tiger enclosure?

[QUOTE]Security protocols kicked in immediately when staff saw the man climb down with a rope into the African lions’ enclosure[/QUOTE] Shouldn't they have had something to prevent this? Most lion enclosures tend to have a pit that keeps the animals from jumping out and escaping, and if someone tried to get in, they still wouldn't be able to get to the lions.

The tiger killed him before anyone could react

why on fucking earth would you kill yourself by tiger either you die in one of the most painful ways imaginable or you end up getting two extremely rare animals killed for following their instincts

Tbh if I were a lion living in that kind of enclosure (concrete!), I'd want to be shot. I wonder how the suicidal man now feels that his selfishness has caused the death of two lions though.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;50368016]why on fucking earth would you kill yourself by tiger[/QUOTE] sweet bragging rights in the afterlife [editline]21st May 2016[/editline] that and suicidal people aren't entirely known for being all too logical

[QUOTE=Joeyl10;50368108]sweet bragging rights in the afterlife [editline]21st May 2016[/editline] that and suicidal people aren't entirely known for being all too logical[/QUOTE] Fist fight the tigers and live to tell the tale with next to no injuries, best bragging rights in prison.

that's a pretty shitty way to commit suicide. i know that suicidal people aren't exactly reasonable since they don't care about anything anymore but if you choose to kill yourself in a way that can traumatize/harm other beings, i'm not going to make an exception for you... you're an asshole. RIP to those lions

Fuck him Two lions dead because of him.

The guy is on life support with a high chance of dying for the lions injuries, everybody loses.

If he wasn't suicidal then, he sure as fuck is suicidal now.

How unpleasant.

they just lost two awesome animals. That sucks. I hope the guy trying to commit suicide gets the medical and psychological help he needs.

[QUOTE=Araknid;50368698]Fuck him Two lions dead because of him.[/QUOTE] Pretty much, what a shame. Can guarantee you those lions wanted to live a LOT more than he did... Sad loss.

The guy needs to be institutionalized when he is not in critical condition.

Poor lions, poor man.

[QUOTE=Araknid;50368698]Fuck him Two lions dead because of him.[/QUOTE] Two dumb as fuck flea-ridden animals in a zoo aren't worth the life of a single man, sorry broski
