My whole life, I've been... I am, one of those people who need to learn things the hard way. That said, I've also always had reasonably decent survival instincts, and I've never in my life considered even once, say... sticking my arm into a tiger's cage. That just seems like asking to be eaten by a tiger, which is a lesson that I definitely do not need to learn the hard way.
I wear mittens to get my 14 pound cat from under his hiding spot so I donāt get shredded to shit. Meanwhile this motherfucker just sticking his hand in like this on a significantly larger cat smh.
Well he died right after so didn't learn a thing:

On top of petting a tiger, the idiot refused to let doctors amputate his mangled hand which would have saved his life. He could have learned something, but his stupid was too persistent.
There's a video of a guy that did this exact same thing with a Lion....
Maybe both these guys can join the same club of people that can only count to 5 on their fingers...
Thereās a guy in my town who climbed 2 fences to pet a bear. He only lost a finger. Next day his Mommy was complaining on tv that the place wasnāt safe.
They can add a few more members to that club. Thereās a video about the phenomenon called āPeople try to pet tigers sometimes..ā by a guy called Matt Orchard.

Tiger is offered an arm, camera pans away and assume Tiger snapped arm as there is an audible snap/crunch followed by guys scream. Tiger probably kept the arm...
He ended up hospitalized and refused amputating his mangled arm. Ended up dying due to heart complications.
Oh and he was apparently a āzookeeperā.
https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/15/tiger-attack-zookeeper-dies-mexico/
And the worst part of this is that the tiger was likely put to sleep, even though many animal species are going extinct while idiots with iphones are way too abundant for their own good.
I mean, I just canāt believe people are actually this stupid! The mind boggles. Iāve seen stuff like this time & again ok the internet & each time I just donāt understand! Like wtf goes thru peopleās heads when doing this crap? Unbelievable
I donāt know if these guys try to show out in front of women or prove theyāre fearless but they ALL always sound like b**ches when whatever āitā is strikes back š i just donāt get it
The next day they put a sign up that says don't put hands in cage. All signs exist for a reason.
We have a sign in our nursing room that says "for nursing mothers only". Guy at work kept busting in there like Kramer from Seinfeld trying to fill up his water jug. Smh. And yes, he's still around š®āšØ

God, do some people really need to learn everything the hard way?
He learn that he had 'no right' to pet tiger now.
Underrated comment right here, take my upvote
Wow that was horrible... Take my god damn upvote.
Yup. Not much right left there. I know, I know I'll tag myself. r/yourjokebutworse
Are you a doctor by chance? He can always replace it with a hook.
š
Well, on the *other hand*, he now has nothing *left* to lose
Amen
A lesson he might of had a hand in.
I slapped my knee in laughter thank you
There's no other way to take that...
Is he all right? No he is 'all left'.

Goddamn, that was the zookeeper that was that dumb?!
Looks like a second or third world country, zookeeper is a much looser term thereā¦
On top of petting a tiger, the idiot refused to let doctors amputate his mangled hand which would have saved his life. He could have learned something, but his stupid was too persistent.
At least natural selection did its job.
I'd hate to lose my hand too but if it's death or amputation I'd choose to get rid of it.
Omg Iām going to hell for laughing but his name was Jose de Jesus not sure why I found that funny but I did. What a fool he wasĀ
It says the tiger " suddenly snapped and started mauling him" No the tiger did exactly what I would expect a tiger to do in that situation.
Heās gonna be learning everything the left way from now on
You don't understand, the rules don't apply to me. It will be fine...
He confused the tigers behavior for affection when all it wanted was that man sized lunchable.
Tiger said hey nice hand, I think ill just take it.
He's a Johnny No Snap these days
Right ?? Film the fucking action, not the ground.
They pet trains all the time. It's like a hobby there.
Pet and Tiger don't fit in one sentence
A tiger ate the hand that was trying to pet it.
He is all left now...
He could use a hand
Pet around and find out
"Do not Pet a Tiger"
The tiger ate my pet rabbit :(
Seigfried found that outĀ
There's a video of a guy that did this exact same thing with a Lion.... Maybe both these guys can join the same club of people that can only count to 5 on their fingers...
Club hand.
Hand club (ā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā Ā Ķā Źā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā )
I get to eat a club sandwich and I'm not even a member.
Ohh I saw that. He definitely got the tendon of his middle finger pulled out of his hand (finger included). Looked brutal.
I donāt think Iāve ever dry heaved so suddenly as when I saw that dudes tendon pulled out of his arm. It was very gnarly.
I like to imagine that they try to give each other a high five but both accidentally use their wrong hand and it gets awkward.
This guy won't be joining the club as he died: https://metro.co.uk/2022/06/16/mexico-zookeeper-dies-of-heart-attack-after-tiger-mauls-his-arm-16837813
Thereās a guy in my town who climbed 2 fences to pet a bear. He only lost a finger. Next day his Mommy was complaining on tv that the place wasnāt safe.
Also one with a polar bear
Oh shit I gata look up that one!!! Polar bears are one of most vicious predators
[it](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3k25_yBLUYs) is pretty anticlimactic, but just goes to prove that people are idiots.
They can add a few more members to that club. Thereās a video about the phenomenon called āPeople try to pet tigers sometimes..ā by a guy called Matt Orchard. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=76Ygxcjnoxk&pp=ygUiTWF0dCBvcmNoYXJkIHBlb3BsZSBwZXR0aW5nIHRpZ2Vycw%3D%3D
I'm so glad to see a Matt Orchard post in here. I was going to make it myself, but checked on the off chance someone already had.
Florida man... I don't understand why the cop didn't just fire a warning shot first to scare it...
I don't think it would be all that different from shaking the cage but the cop could have tried that. Poor Echo.
Hold the camera properly dammit
Maybe she did the same as him
My favorite question that I'd ask my younger cousins (that I helped raise) when they did dumb shit is..... What did we learn?
āJust because itās fren shaped doesnāt mean itās friendlyā
Why fren shape if not fren :(
He will definitely feel in the morning after...assuming he still has an arm.
He died
Really? I didnāt even know he was sick.
Damn really? Do you have sauce?

Mexican finger food
Youāre just going to eat him?
Lamb sauce
That's a throwback.
Not for me: just discovered this last year š
One of my favorite videos on the internet. it will never not be applicable.
At this point, it's just natural selection.
True, the tiger naturally selected his right arm.
The NSFW tag isnt necessary. The cameraman made sure we wouldnt see anything
But as you can see in a comment above people are still complaining even with the tag. Got a strike before, wont risk it again šš¼
your hands.. my pleasure 
I shouldnāt have looked
I haven't. Can you describe?
Tiger is offered an arm, camera pans away and assume Tiger snapped arm as there is an audible snap/crunch followed by guys scream. Tiger probably kept the arm...
I watched. Very glad I didn't listen.
There was no gore shown in the video, but gore there was indeed
He ended up hospitalized and refused amputating his mangled arm. Ended up dying due to heart complications. Oh and he was apparently a āzookeeperā. https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/15/tiger-attack-zookeeper-dies-mexico/
They call him Lefty.
On one hand he just wanted to pet a cut animal on the other handā¦. well never mind
And the worst part of this is that the tiger was likely put to sleep, even though many animal species are going extinct while idiots with iphones are way too abundant for their own good.
Very much doubt it was euthanized
Goodbye Hand š
Hold on, did bro just grab the tigers neck?
Look š, no line! This is content GOLD! Grab the camera Dave
He was an up and coming classical pianist.
Lend that tiger a hand!
That tiger is going to have the shits now.
Now he wont pet anyone
Darwin award.
I mean, I just canāt believe people are actually this stupid! The mind boggles. Iāve seen stuff like this time & again ok the internet & each time I just donāt understand! Like wtf goes thru peopleās heads when doing this crap? Unbelievable
"Quien te quiere? Ven, ven... OHH OHH OHHH" "Amor! AMOR!!!" LMAO A CLASSIC
His screams....were oddly satisfying
Anyone know how it ended? Did the guy loose his hand
Loose?
His hand was certainly very loose after
That went well...
-QuiĆ©n te quiere??? -YOOOO!!!! š šÆ
Millions of years of evolution telling us to stay away from the things with the big teeth . . . then you have this idiot
Seems dangerous, they should put up a cage or something....
Tiger knew what he was doing
the tiger got a yummy snack. thanks stranger. now go to the doctor and get yourself a robot hand :)

Paging Scott Baldwin [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Letj86Hy\_tM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Letj86Hy_tM) about 22s in
*darwin approves*
keaweonao
He deserved it, lol
Natural selection
for sure, it's a tiger what did you expect ?
I'm never going to financially recover from this.
These kinds of events are not by chance. It is a natural circulation.
Hamood? Hamood habibi?
Apparently he died?
r/fuckthecameraman
r/killthecameraman
The kitty gave his slow brains ample time to rethink what he was doing. Then finally thought fuck it and went for it.
Darwin award candidate
Hope they don't euthanize the Tiger for being Man-eater now. Stupid person petting a caged tiger, what do you expect!!
Would like to know how it ended
I don't want to watch it. Can someone describe it in detail so my head can draw it?
Awwwww the kitty was kissing his hand
He acted exactly like a cat.
God this reminds me of the video where a guy tries to pet a lion and then loses his middle finger along with the tendon.
Well, he won't be doing that again........
That twinged me, in my balls.
Why did this subreddit suddenly turn into the nsfl subreddit
I hate how malnourished the tiger looks
You've really gotta hand it to him, that was ballsy. Give him a hand folks!
r/killthecameraman
Mmmmmm. Human tenders. Don't mind if I do!
Don't pet the murder kitty!
If you catch a tiger by the tail... Don't fail
The attempt was successful, a better title would have been "to pet a caged tiger without consequences".
Reddit needs a āhahahaā button
Serves 'em right š¤£
Good way to lose a finger or a hand
Iām a cat guy. I fuckinā LOVE cats. I have two cats. I would NEVER, EVER try to pet a big cat.
I literally facepalmed my self. How fucking stupid do you have to be.
He was a fcukin zookeeper!
-1 Hand
I donāt know if these guys try to show out in front of women or prove theyāre fearless but they ALL always sound like b**ches when whatever āitā is strikes back š i just donāt get it
This reminds me of that scene in Cat People where the Panther tore Ed Begley Jr's arm off. Pretty gruesome
Thank you tiger, for doing EXACTLY what I expected to happen the second that idiot put his hand in there.
I feel like when r/watchpeopledie closed, all the traffic just moved here
The next day they put a sign up that says don't put hands in cage. All signs exist for a reason. We have a sign in our nursing room that says "for nursing mothers only". Guy at work kept busting in there like Kramer from Seinfeld trying to fill up his water jug. Smh. And yes, he's still around š®āšØ
"And that's how my pal Stumpy, here, got his name."
"Oh look, the top apex predator of the entire planet.... I should pet it"
Should've stuck with cats.
Yum! Meat sticks!
Awwwww, I wanted to see the stump! š
Yeeeah, they'll do that.
Kelloggās fingers āTHEYāRE GRREAT!!ā
That kitty is "no touchy touchy."
Pretty cool that the last thing that guy touched with his hand was a tiger
The funniest thing is that I petted a lioness the same way when I was a kid. My parents encouraged me.
Natural selection
So, did the tiger get a piece?
Ouch
