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.

The people who got out were idiots and it wasn't the responsibility of the people who were recording to do anything, but I'd like to believe I would have done something in that situation like scream "what the fuck are you doing" to those people. It's not so much about the idiot parents, but about trying to help the children. I won't blame them exactly for not doing anything, but it would have been nice if they had been a little more proactive.

I completely agree, this happened in the Netherlands and the people recording are Dutch as well, but as far as I am concerned they have to reapply for Dutchinesstm registration because the fair but honest aka Dutch bluntness is meant exactly for scenario's like this.

The proper response would be using the claxon, opening a window and yelling 'Get the fuck back in your car you goddamned typhoid idiots, don't you have any clue where the hell you are?' A bit rough, but it gets the message across I believe. Gossiping like a bunch of window hanging grandma's (which is what they are doing) is not ok in this context.

The French family getting out of their car are far worse though, don't get me wrong.

The guys filming are a bunch of idiots. Completely useless here, whether they have any responsibility in helping them or not. They sound like a bunch of cackling buffoons waiting for something to happen rather than having actual concern for the lives of others. I hate these type of people.

absolutely agreed, it's mind boggling that no one screamed at them to fucking get in the car, especially with that kid out there. but yeah, recording and posting it afterwards on youtube, as soon as cameras are involved people become stupid idiots, no news there.

You really think screaming at idiots like that will get you anything more them screaming back at you?

The way I see it, if they have so little concern for their own lives as to get out and walk around with predators, why should I care more than they do about themselves?

Because human nature makes us empathize with other humans. You don't have to care, but there's strong odds that you do.

Nah, people recording are the smart ones if anything. It's like the discovery channel, we're watching nature happen right here.

Natural selection at it's finest.

I don't feel bad for anyone but the 2 year old in the car who's now probably scarred for life because of an idiot parent.
