It is not yet clear what was going through the young keeper’s mind. Unfortunately, it is now clear that he can no longer explain it. Yes why Jose de JesusThe 23-year-old keeper of a small Mexican private zoo has died after a close encounter with the tiger he was feeding. But let’s start from the beginning. We are near peribanplace of Mexico west south of Guadalajara. The day is hot and it is feeding time for the animals in the small private zoo. As documented in the local news and the images published by ADN America that we propose, young José approaches the tiger’s enclosure to bring her something to eat. The cat is gorgeous. He is still young and a Bengal tiger. However, aside from being hungry, the tiger seems nervous. Also, and especially for this reason, the watchman’s idea of sticking his hand in the fence immediately seems at least frivolous. However, José doesn’t seem to want to listen to reasons and keeps trying to pet the animal by sliding his arm between the meshes of the steel net.

For his part, the tiger doesn’t seem to like it. Until suddenly the attack is triggered. Probably annoyed, the cat jumps and immediately grabs the man’s arm. They are exciting moments. In fact, the tiger does not want to let go of the animal keeper’s hand, who now looks frightened and exhausted. Luckily, the man is freed after minutes of terror, but the pool of blood on the floor doesn’t bode well. For rescue, he is transported to Michoacan Hospital, the hospital where he will, however, refuse to have that hand amputated, which now seems barely there. Finally, after two days of torment, the young man suddenly dies. Diabetics, the doctors will explain, he died of a fulminant heart attack. The dramatic story that was conveyed to the authorities of this country is still red hot. In fact, in America there are many private zoos like the one where the fact happened and they are not always adequate or safe structures for the animals as well as for those who care for them. Among other things, the owner of the structure in question also seems to have lions and crocodiles. And the tiger? Pending clarification of the incident and the zoo’s safety regulations, the relevant authorities have asked another zoo, the Benito Juarez Zoological Park, to take care of the tigress in order to prevent further accidents, which this time could also harm her.
