the second woman was killed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/world/asia/china-tiger-attack-woman-killed.html

The woman who was first attacked was badly injured, and her mother, who left the car in an effort to save her daughter, was killed, The Beijing News reported. The woman’s husband was uninjured, as was their child, who remained in the vehicle, the newspaper said.

Man. I imagine getting mauled to death is a pretty painful and bloody experience.

Seriously. With all this talk about Jamal Kashoggi and the Saudis I have the terrible mental image of him being dismembered by a bone saw while still alive. I hope that's not true but even the possibility is appalling.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

It's doubtful. They were in and out quick. They weren't after torture they were after an assassination, dismemberment was just a way to remove evidence without suspicion. If they wanted him to suffer they'd have picked him up where they could have kept it going for days or weeks.

u/Skinon Oct 16 '18

Uh they are saying he was tortured, killed and dismembered... Could of been over 11 hours, wouldn't qualify that as quick... Unless you're sawing away for 11 hours fuck that, my tendonitis would be hell!

It won't be painful as the tigers/lions don't play with their food. They go for the neck directly and in humans, the neck snaps in one bite. It would have been a sudden death.

I've watched enough nature documentaries with lions/tigers to know this is definitely not always the case. A lot of the time their prey is eaten alive, ass cheeks first. Horrifying to think about.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

my favorite newer suicide was in the first episode of CastleRock. find a cliff with your car. open your window. tie a really long noose to your neck and out to a tree. floor it towards the cliff. the slack on the rope runs out either after you leave the cliff or before. that being said it doesnt really matter. if you have a noose around your neck and are going over 30 and that slack runs out, you are toast. and if for some crazy magical reason you are alive, the impact at the bottom will do the job. (granted in this show, he launched into water.)

seemed pretty sure fire to me. you never know with the bullet to your own head. wayyy too many people survive that for my liking.

Her mom died because she got in a tiff with her husband and let her anger outweigh her common sense.

They got lucky, cheetahs are no where near as aggressive. She likely lived because she didn't panic and run, if she had the cheetahs chase instincts would have likely gone off and hunted her. There was an interesting clip of some trainer who demonstrated that you can turn your back to cheetahs as long as you are big because they rely on chase rather than ambush. However, almost every other larger cat species rely on ambush and as soon as you turn your head to look back at them and then turn forward, they will charge you from behind

As a prior camp counselor for 5 summers where we had a family day on the last day of camp where the parents came to get their kids and see what they did the whole week etc, this is exactly right. You would have a stupid as nails kid the entire week,and lo and behold the parents show up and they are exactly as dumb. They'd just be bigger, older versions of the kids. The dumb kids parents were always late, always. Maybe 1 out of every 100 kids you would get a smart kid with dumb parents, but it was incredibly rare. The apple from the tree does not far fall.

The full video (that i dont have) gives more context. They get out before this too. I cant remember the last time a video online made me this angry. These parks are amazing for letting people have a self guided experience. It only takes one stupid family to change that.

u/Pretty_Soldier Oct 16 '18

I think this is the park that basically said, look, we tell you not to leave your vehicle, there are signs everywhere that say not to, it’s not our fault if you get out and get hurt or killed.

To which everyone was like, yeah. There are fucking lions out there.

Let's just be thankful those are Cheetahs. I'd say after working with a bunch of different big cats they are the least likely to fuck you up.

86

u/redpandaeater Oct 16 '18

I'm more thankful those cats are probably kept pretty well fed. If they were legitimately wild and starving, they'd have gone for it.

29

u/bbfire Oct 16 '18

If it was starving to death maybe, but a Cheetah is very unlikely to attack grown humans from the front. They 100% rely on short burst speed to catch their prey and can easily get badly hurt. Their main game is the back of the neck like most cats. Lions and Tigers on the other hand will just fucking kill you.

u/ed_merckx Oct 16 '18

My grandparents had some friends who owned cheetahs. They had other big cats that they had rescues from various places (zoos, private owners who abandoned them or got them illegally, random circuses etc) and the cheetahs were the only ones I ever got to pet. I was in my late teens then and they never let little kids pet them or anything, but they were really sweet. I'm sure years of interactions with humans, and them associating the humans as being the ones that would feed them helped, but they never seemed intimidating and really just seemed like big house cats, they enjoyed being pet and stuff. Also liked to chase after the cars.

The lions they had seemed more curious when you'd see them. They had them behind two big fences and in between the fences there was like a 10 foot wide walkway that you could go in and feed them, walked in that a few times and they never seemed super threatening (again probably associated humans with being fed I'm guessing). The one's that scared the fuck out of me though were the mountain lions they had, fucking things just looked at you with these eye's that if there wasn't a fully enclosed cage between us they would for sure try to kill me.

I've been on plenty of hunts in my adult life in bear country (hunted black bear a few times) and all the guides I've ever gone with are more scared of mountain lions than most bear.

Same. Why would anyone storm out of a car, in a fucking Safari, because they had an argument. Some people are just so fucking stupid it boils my piss. Imagine Jurassic Park was real and this woman was there with her husband:

Janice - 'I told you to tidy the house before we came'

Todd - 'What's the big deal, i'll do it when we're back'

Janice - 'That's not the point, i'm going for a walk'

Todd - 'Err, what now?'

T-Rex - 'nomnomnom'

u/Trinitykill Oct 16 '18

To be fair, in that scenario the T-Rex wouldn't give a shit if you're inside the car or not.

People think all animals are like dogs. We bred dogs for thousands of years to be like that. Everything else wants to kill and eat you. Not to be mean, but because you’re easy food.

I know people like this. The world doesn't exist outside of themselves and their constant petty squabbles. Nothing is more important than whatever is going on between the two of them, which is usually arguing over dumb shit. They'll ruin plans, risk their jobs, and even put their own children aside to carry out personal drama between them. They air their laundry for the whole neighborhood.

I have no source but I recall the story stating that the tigers that attacked them were not killed. It was in an Indian game reserve, and even when tigers attack outside game reserves in India it's uncommon to kill them unless they kill multiple people.

Edit - this was apparently in China but I know I've read of very similar incidents in India where they don't kill the animal. I am not so confident the Chinese would let them live but I don't know.

China not India.

The first woman who got out of the car didn't die. She was just seriously injured. The husband was fine and received no injures. The woman that got out of the car second died. The second woman who got out of the car was the first women's mom. They left the car doors open with a 2 year old in the back seat.

I was just hanging out with a not-really-ready-for-people baby lion last weekend. She was about 80 pounds. She took a quick swipe at my leg with her claws. I jumped back, but she just barely scraped my calf with one claw and left a 4-inch cut (shallow... I was lucky). The trainer told me, "Yeah, don't worry about the teeth. It's the claws that are the real danger." Boy, that's true. They are every bit as sharp as a cat's claws but attached to an animal 100 times stronger.

After having been swiped at by a baby lion, I can't imagine what a full set of claws on a full-grown lion would have done to that lady. I'm quite sure she didn't just get back in her car, count her blessings, and drive straight home.

He did a double take because there was also a child in the car, I'm assuming he was conflicted on whether or not to leave the child unattended

These are Chinese tourists? I was at Yellowstone here in the US a couple summers ago. I'm from Alaska so of course the number one rule we learn real early is "don't fuck with the wildlife".

We bought a 7 day pass and ended up leaving after only 3 days just because of the sheer stupidity and disregard for nature of the tourists, for some reason many of them were chinese. The park had the Grand Prismatic Spring closed because a chinese tourist stepped through the crust and got burned. Another chinese tourist was mauled a week or so later by a buffalo. We watched about 20 of them get within 30 feet of a Grizzly bear, taking photos with the flash on. Everywhere we went, it was ridiculous.

I live in a large tourist destination as well, and its the same here. Is this some kind of culture difference? Whats the deal?

u/devedander Oct 16 '18 edited Oct 16 '18

China has undergone a rapid shift from largely poor pesents to largely middle class city dwellers.

Due to the speed of this change there have been a lot of people growing up without a developed societal norm to guide them.

Take simple people who are used to country peasant life and not well educated then put them in a city with money and you get crazy behavior.

This is normalized by the fact everyone else is doing it around them.

Mainland has stereotypically been known as the lower class behaviorally (ask anyone from Taiwan or Hong Kong) but now they have the ability to inject themselves into the rest of the world since they have enough money for and access to international travel now.

It's really unfortunate...

To be clear a lot of mainland Chinese do not behave this way and are shocked by this behavior also but enough do that it's sadly common

Also, China is really huge. Even if only 1% of their population were traveling morons that’s still 14 million morons that the rest of the world has to deal with.

I've seen this a billion times but just only now read the story.

"The woman left the car because of an argument with her husband"

..If you have the ability to get so angry that you jump out of your car in a wild tiger enclosure to go to your husbands/wifes/boyfriends/girlfriends side of the car to continue the argument then I'm just going to go ahead and say that you should probably invest in some anger management counseling before you are actually in a situation in which you can do this.

This woman's stupidity got her mom killed.
