Very very terrifying and sad. Was the boy mentally unstable? His actions suggest so…but it is not mentioned by all news reporters/papers so was a bit confused about the validity. Anyhow this must be too terrifying for his family. Man what must be going through that poor dude’s mind. And a big shame on zoo authorities for not being prepared for the right course of action. The exact story behind this is unknown…some say he was unstable and just fell. Some say repeated warnings were given to him but he ignored but he still got too close to the railing and it was not high anyway. If he was in his senses then yes partly it was his fault. Poor dude should have been careful. But all in all zoo authorities should know the best measure to save his life tranquilizers, shooting the tiger, throwing a peace of meat to distract..well anything which could have distracted the animal. This zoo should be closed forever or until they have built a secure one. I really dont know why they never build proper secure cages/enclosure for animals specially such dangerous animals where chance of falling is impossible. Gosh looking at the boy asking for his life brings tears to my eyes. May his soul rest in peace and may god give sabar to his family.

Why should the zoo be closed down when all the security measures have been in place?

There is a fence outside the enclosure.Despite warnings,the guy jumped over the fence,went straight up to the enclosure rim.Either the boy or the security personnel are to be blamed.And also those responsible for security measures such as water spray,tranquilizer etc ,for not being there in time to tame the animal and secure the guy.
