I went to high school with that guy, he lived up the road from me. I have no idea why the fuck he would do that.

[–]bmg50barrett 11 points12 points ago

Me too. But I always knew that guy was going to jump into a tiger pit one day. Especially a tiger named Rokan.

[–]serious_account 5 points6 points ago

I'm still in Mahopac. Pretty Mahopac thing to say: "Living in Mahopac makes you want to jump in a tiger pit." Nice hair.

[–]JacobCurry 6 points7 points ago

For the same reason I would,
to hug one.

[–]mind_twin 9 points10 points ago

That's stupid.

Everyone knows that lions are the best huggers.

[–]JacobCurry 13 points14 points ago

[–]ConansBeard 1 point2 points ago

Wow I would be so afraid it would claw my back and rip my head off

[–]Clearly_a_fake_name 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, I find the fear goes away when the tiger is on a seperate layer on photoshop.

[–]demalition90 -1 points0 points ago

best.

gif.

ever.

[–]kaospenguin 2 points3 points ago

Who wouldn't want to hug a gigantic kitty cat?

[–]skibo_ 38 points39 points ago

A witness tweeted, "Someone jumped the gate at the bronx zoo n got maulled by a tiger now in jacobi ER.#lmfao."

well, that's an inappropriate hash tag, lol.

[–]B-Town-MusicMan 4 points5 points ago

wow...talk about "Thinning" the herd

[–]friiso 4 points5 points ago

That's odd, a 21 year old did the same thing here in Denmark, just 3 month ago. He was killed though.

random article

[–]Nougat_Wasp 2 points3 points ago

Did they ever find out why he did that? I moved out of Denmark just as it happened and haven't heard anything about it since.

[–]Le_Master 2 points3 points ago

M. Night Shyamalan predicted this.

[–]ConansBeard 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for posting the link

[–]I_am_THE_GRAPIST 1 point2 points ago

...and he was bitten on the back, where a fucking fang punctured his god damn lung.

Holy shit.

[–]NillaPlease 0 points1 point ago

Do tigers really attack humans unprovoked? I didn't think they did, but I guess I could be wrong. Or did the guy who jumped into the pen do something provocative?

[–]CaptainDickbag 2 points3 points ago

Tigers are still territorial in zoos.

[–]NillaPlease 1 point2 points ago

Oh. That makes sense now. I guess I assumed zoo= tame and calm

[–]geebs61 1 point2 points ago

I consider myself pretty tame and calm, but I might eat a dudes foot if he just appeared in my living room and I had 3 kids to protect.

I'd eat a foot without asking any questions in that scenario.

[–]GitEmSteveDave 1 point2 points ago

I seem to recall he fell on the sleeping male tiger, and then ran away from it. I have three cats, and if one happens to step on a sleeping one while walking by, it usually results in a pouncing.

[–]callipygian1 11 points12 points ago

today's news says he did it because he "wanted to be one with the tiger." the trouble with that is the tiger would be the one left over.

[–]pheck5 -2 points-1 points ago

wat

[–]IMABIRD 3 points4 points ago

LEEEERRROOOYYYYY-EH-JEENNNKKINNS

[–]alexkitsune 10 points11 points ago

2003? New Zeland?

Fuck you too bro.

[–]mokkat 3 points4 points ago

weird, a man did this at the Copenhagen zoo recently too. Walked in late, jumped a fence into the tiger pit, and was killed

[–]We_Have_To_Go_Back 5 points6 points ago

Rokan, son of Cantik, the first of his name.

[–]hett 1 point2 points ago

Khal Rokan, son of Cantik.

[–]TG_Alibi 1 point2 points ago

I dunno, if I were going to off myself, I would probably choose something a little less painful and much quicker.

[–]Speedyx 1 point2 points ago

Emotionally Disturbed Person at its finest.

[–]dinglicious 0 points1 point ago

You regret nothing when on cocaine

[–]LosAngelesVikings 1 point2 points ago

Let me guess... did things escalate quickly as well?

[–]LivingSaladDays 1 point2 points ago

So pretty much nearly the exact same context from the original use of that? Seriously people?

[–]kuntakinte_ 1 point2 points ago

He wanted to be "one with the tiger"

[–]damngravity 0 points1 point ago

These people need to get it into their heads that part of the beauty of a tiger is that they will destroy your puny body.

[–]ny_rangers 0 points1 point ago

If he was wasnt drunk out of his mind! I have no fucking clue why anybody would do that. I mean even if he was trying to off himself, thats gotta be one of the worst and messiest ways to go. i think id take burnin alive over getting mauled/killed by a tiger

[–]drsuperfly -1 points0 points ago

That escalated quickly.

[–]SCarolina420 -1 points0 points ago

You used a gif of when Ron jumped in to a bear pit, for a guy jumping in to a tiger pit. SO CREATIVE.

[–]Unsureableinterest -3 points-2 points ago

Thank you so much for not using the "I've made a terrible mistake" gif!!! If I had more upvotes to give, I would =D

[–]Newbiees 0 points1 point ago

alright guys i know im behind but what movie is this?

[–]Blackstaff 1 point2 points ago

I think it's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I need to see it some day, too. It's supposed to be pretty funny.

[–]Newbiees 1 point2 points ago

Thanks a lot
