Chinese man eaten by zoo tiger

BEIJING (Reuters) - A tiger devoured a mentally ill man who entered the animal's zoo cage in northeast China, local media reported on Friday.
Zhang Yachun disappeared from his home in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, on March 24 and five days later police told his parents he had been eaten by a tiger in a nearby zoo, the China news service reported, citing a Harbin newspaper.
"Only two legs and his skull were left," the report said.
Zhang's grieving parents said their 37-year-old son suffered mental illness and "especially loved tigers".
China has a poor record of keeping people away from dangerous zoo and circus animals.
In February, a circus lion ripped a 10-year-old boy's arm off after grabbing him through the bars of its cage.
Last year, 16 government officials were sacked after a boy was eaten alive at a crocodile enclosure in southern China. And a zoo tiger attacked a 6-year-old girl waiting to have her picture taken with the animal, biting her head and killing her.

Very unfortunate, poor guy. But two points:

1) Why could it not have been at least one of the sick Chinese that kill tigers for mythical medicine.

2) Shit happens when you lock up wild animals. Should only be done in the interests of conservation.

It's common knowledge it takes a hefty Norseman for a tiger to reach satiety.

The Chinese don't cut it. Only at a buffet.
