Tiger Attack!

This picture was taken at the Singapore Zoo! so amazing huh!


Arghh... TIGER ATTACK at the Singapore Zoo! how come we didnt see the white tigers the last time we went there? Anyway thats irrelevant.

abstracts of the news:

The worker has been identified as Nordin Bin Montong. Zoo officials said the 32-year-old had jumped into a moat at the white tiger enclave and was subsequently mauled to death by the white tigers.

Biswajit Guha, assistant director, Singapore Zoo, said: "Prior to the incident, the zookeepers had actually noticed that the contract worker was behaving erratically. "He was throwing things around and as he was walking out of the zoo, he passed comments like 'Goodbye, you won't see me again'. He later cycled back and 5 minutes later, the alarm went off."

Nordin had jumped off the ledge into the water and once he was inside the enclave, the three white tigers mauled him for five to ten minutes, while 20 zookeepers tried desperately to save him by distracting the animals.

They were too late, as were the two licensed rifle shooters who were called to the scene.

ARRR.. they were intending to kill the tigerS! OH NO. terrible. I think this guy was trying to commit suicide la. Where got people go and jump into tiger cage one. I know it is a very tragic incident but please dont kill the tigers??? They are super innocent. To them a human is just another animal mah.. how they know cannot eat one. And tigers are an endangered lot!


According to conservation group WWF, there are about 4,000 tigers left in the world and they are considered an endangered species.
White tigers are even rarer because they suffer from a genetic condition that strips their fur of the orange pigment,leaving the animal with snow white fur, black stripes and blue eyes.




Majestic creatures.


Regardless if the guy was trying to commit suicide or was it a truely unfortunate+tragic accident,


PLEASE DO NOT KILL THE POOR TIGERS BECAUSE OF THIS???
