It might not necessarily even be out of hunger but sheer boredom . A lot of times the tigers will maul cattle and sheep but not eat them because they have already eaten . But if they are bored they will literally just kill things , theyre cats . Humans provide both food and attention to these animals that other wise they wouldnt have . When they see people they associate that with things to do and exciting things happening . If you watch the video where the tiger mauled the man in india there were several minutes where the tiger observes the man before killing him . He was unsure what to do because patrons arent throwing food into the enclosure like they do in China . In this video the tiger doesnt even give it a few seconds . As soon as he saw the woman he attacked . Those few moments could have saved that womans life but thanks to the greedy idiocoy of chinese zoos these tigers are more dangerous to humans than tigers in the wild .It's a fucking tiger, man. If it's hungry, it will eat anything it can take down.
Hopefully people stop attending these places . Its really very irresponsible to allow patrons to feed these kinds of animals .Stupidity, or not, what do you gain by insulting someone who just experienced such a horrific tragedy?
You didnt tag me but tigers in captivity associate people with food and a source of attention .
Particularly in these chinese tiger zoos where they dump live prey in the tiger enclosure and allow people to feed the tigers . The tigers associate people with food whether they may have food on them or be food themselves .
If you have ever seen those live feeding videos where people ride a bus and a live cow or goat gets ripped to bits while they cheer and enjoy the carnage or string chickens on sticks and lower them into the tiger enclosure these exact activities came back to bite them in the ass because if a person winds up in a big cat enclosure they will associate humans with food and immediately attack rather than be confused or unsure about what that human is there for .
This is also a very poor creature preserving program because the tigers born in these breeding programs can never be released into the wild because they will gravitate toward humans and human settlements looking for food . Wild tigers try to stay away from humans or loud noises and urbanization . Its very much a veiled business to supply tiger parts for chinese medicine and very little to do with preserving the species . So basically human stupidity strikes again . If you want to know how to create man eating animals you lock up prime predator animal species and allow the zoo patrons to feed them . So for those people that support live feedings of farm animals at these zoos and say its necessary to keep the tigers wild instincts fresh , this is simply moronic logic . All you do is make tons and tons of unreleasable animals that view humans as food and fuel an under ground medicine trade of exotic animals and its not helping the wild tiger populations at all .
Not gonna lie, my gf would probably jump out of the car into a lion's den because of an argument. I lover her, but perspective isn't really a strength.

Sure but for comparison sake there have been many people fall into big prey animal enclosures and make it out alive because the animals didnt immediately attack because they are not used to people feeding them so they arent necessarily sure what to do when a human wanders in there . Those precious minutes before the animal decides to attack can give zoo keepers time to try to coax the animal into a holding area , tranquilize or shoot and kill . The man that was mauled to death in India was observed by the tiger for nearly 15 minutes before the tiger attacked him and a lack of quick protocols was blamed on the inability for staff to help get him out in time . As you saw in the chinese video , there was no time at all to help the woman despite a keeper being near by because the tigers are already familiar with people as sources of food and stimulation . In this case you can really blame the zoo . In no way should people be driving through a tiger enclosure especially where the tigers are fed by zoo patrons .At the same time, don't get out of your car in a Tiger enclosure.

I thought that was incredibly odd that you could just drive your car through the Tiger enclosure, but hey, China.
