Edit: I recently noticed that the image has had the part in the middle censored in several newspapers. Should I do the same? I also noticed that there are another image floating around. It is highly NSFW. So just click here if you really want to.

Tiger kills man at Zoo

Fifty years old Jayaprakash Bezbaruah, father of two, was yesterday attacked and killed by a tiger. The whole family were visiting the zoo Gauhati in north-eastern India and when they came to the cage with Bengali tigers the man started photographing. He was not satisfied with the images and wanted a close up shot. He ignored the rules and climbed over the small fence separating the visitors from the actual cage.

He went close to the iron bars but still wanted better pictures. He therefor decided to put his hand and camera inside the cage in between the bars. That he should not have done. The moment the tigers noticed what he was doing they attacked. In front of a dozen shocked visitors they grabbed the mans arm.

People tried to scare the tigers with sticks and branches but it didn't work. The arm was ripped of right by the shoulder. Although the man was hurried to a hospital in an ambulance his life could not be saved. He died due to the massive loss of blood.
