After petting the tiger during feeding time, the young man was killed. The 23-year-old zookeeper José de Jesús died. José placed his hands through the barbed iron fence to call the tiger for food in the horrific film.

He stroked the gorgeous animal’s neck for many moments until the tiger bit the young man’s right hand and wouldn’t let go. The chain-linked fence prevented the tiger from pulling the boy into the enclosure. The zookeeper yelled in anguish after the tiger bit off his arm.

The publication reported that medical personnel rushed the zookeeper to the hospital, where his right hand was severely mutilated. José refused to have his right hand amputated. After the attack, the young zookeeper’s diabetes deteriorated, according to the article.

Doctors said he died after a severe heart arrest. The private zoo owner published the film and assured that he had all the permits to own the Royal Bengal tiger.
