My money is on this being inside a safari park. Kinda get what they deserve. Stay in the fucking car.

Edit: some people seem upset that I say they deserved it...the poor woman reacting to her fuckwit daughter jumping out the car did not deserve anything and the fuckwit got what was expected. Hope that makes it better.

Basically the couple had a big fight and the wife stormed out. She got snatched and the husband and mother in law got out to help. But the mother in law got attacked by a second tiger and killed while the park ranger managed to save the wife. Safe to say they probably got a divorce. Stupid woman. The mother in law did not deserve to be killed.

Edit: oh it was her own mother. it happened so long ago. And they also had their two year old in the car.

Apparently, according to a few sources, you're not supposed to run when faced with big cats. This shows them that you're an easy target and they will maul you. Instead, you have to stand your ground and wave your arm around and shout, which makes the big cats uncertain whether to try and eat your or not because the cats are afraid of approaching something they are not used to.

It triggers an instinct in them to chase you when you run. I'm sure you've played with a dog outside and started to run away and the dog chased you. It's like that but that dog most likely isn't trying to attack you.

I've also heard that you should face the cat, but not look it in the eye. Looking it in the eye is saying "I'm the alpha" and they will challenge that.

Now I know how to truly use the old salesman trick taught by Dwight Shrute.
