A few days ago, a New York City man, who, so far as I can tell has merely been described as "emotionally-disturbed" decided it would be a great idea to leap 17 feet from a moving monorail at the Bronx Zoo, and take a header into the tiger exhibit.
Predictably, David Villalobos, aged 25, found the experience less than thrilling, for he was not only injured by his fall, he had salt rubbed into his wounds when one of the big cats decided to take a few bites out his ass.
Villalobos was rescued when zookeepers, utilizing fire extinguishers (what? No guns? What kind of zoo doesn't have a gun around when you need one?) managed to drive the cat away, and then cage the entire pride of tigers so as to allow emergency personnel to save Mr. Meow Mix from himself. Various reports say that Villalobos has suffered a punctured lung, a shredded leg, and it isn't clear as to whether or not one of his feet has been chewed off or not.
