This happened yesterday afternoon.

An 11-year-old boy has had his right arm amputated after it was nearly torn off by a tiger in a zoo in southern Brazil.

He was at Cascavel Zoo, in the state of Parana, with his father and three-year-old brother when he got into an area just outside the tiger's enclosure and tried to pet the animal through the bars of the cage.

Several visitors tried to alert the father that he was in a prohibited area.

Local teacher Ricardo Espindula, who feared something might happen, recorded footage of the boy with the tiger moments before the attack on his mobile phone.

When the father next looked, he saw his son covered in blood.

I really hope the tiger doesn't get put down for this. That kid is really stupid, as is his father. Both should be fed to the big cats and be done with.

Whenever I see someone taunting an animal - I find myself wishing maiming and death upon them.

Maybe that's just my black soul showing through.

Um, pretty sure that's a lion.

Also, wild animals don't belong in captivity.

[Sterlig]

Oh no, I guess that's a tiger.

Man, that kid is an idiot and so is whoever is filming him.

I feel the same way

He should know better.

And that's why you don't fuck around with a lion. Lesson learnt.

This kid stuck his hand into a lions cage at a zoo. the lion then bit the kids hand off. Here is a picture from the emergency room.

If you watch the video, he taunts a lion, then in the second part, he moves onto the tigers cage.

Little bastard.
