Seriously, when people are that retarded, just let the tigers have a feed, collect what's left of the corpse later. Why kill a threatened species for the stupidity of one that definitely isn't going extinct any time soon...

Couldn't agree more

A man has been mauled to death by a tiger after he entered its enclosure at a zoo in eastern China.
The tiger was then shot dead by a special forces unit from the local police, in the Sunday incident at the Youngor Zoo in the city of Ningbo.
The man was rushed to the nearest hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He had climbed over the zoo's walls to avoid paying for a ticket, and landed in the tiger enclosure, local tourism authorities said in a statement.
The zoo was closed to visitors after the attack. State broadcaster CCTV said it remained closed on Monday.

Screams heard

The mauling took place at about 14:00 in full view of park visitors, some of whom posted video clips and pictures of the attack online.

The man, wearing a blue parka and black trousers, can be seen lying on the ground. A tiger appears to have its jaws around his neck and head while two other tigers circle around him.

Screams can be heard in the background as a crowd of onlookers gather in front of the enclosure, separated by a moat.
A series of loud explosive bangs can then be heard and the two tigers run off, while the first tiger continues to bite the man.
Zoo authorities said they used firecrackers to scare off the tigers in the enclosure, according to local reports.
They did not identify the man, but said he was middle-aged and that his wife and children were also at the park.

'Prominent warning signs'

But a statement late on Sunday from the Dongqian Lake Tourist Resort Administrative Committee said the man was surnamed Zhang and from Hubei province.
It said that Mr Zhang, along with his wife and two children, were visiting the park on Sunday with his colleague, surnamed Li, and his wife.
The women and children had bought tickets and entered the park, but the two men decided to scale the zoo's 3m-tall (10ft) outer wall, said Mr Li who gave a statement to the tourism authority.
They then climbed another 3m-tall wall that was the boundary of the tiger enclosure. Mr Zhang dropped down into the enclosure and was attacked by a tiger, said Mr Li, who did not follow.
The tourism authority said there were prominent warning signs posted around the point the two men had entered the park, and iron fencing on top of the walls.
The case has attracted widespread attention on Chinese social media, with many condemning the man and mourning for the tiger.
"This visitor's death by mauling really does not deserve any sympathy. Tigers are the carnivorous kings of the jungle and hunting for food is their instinct, who can you blame if you jump in and get attacked? Rest in peace, tiger," wrote one user on the microblogging network Weibo.

In July last year, tigers mauled a woman and her mother when they stepped out of their car at a Beijing drive-through wildlife park.
The woman, surnamed Zhao, survived but her mother died of her injuries. Ms Zhao has since sued the park for her mother's death.

Agreed. If you jump/fall into a tiger pit they should let the tiger have its' meal.

If they hadn't shot it, that tiger would have been hungry an hour later.

A bit of background stories:

This man: he climbed over the wall to get into the zoo, just to avoid paying the entrance fee. A common phenomena in China.

The woman (who died in July): she had a quarrel with her husband who was driving, and simply got off the car. Despite numerous warning horns being blown at her from other cars, including the zoo patrol, she stood there until the tiger got its extra meal.

because of their own decision to consciously enter the tigers enclosure, the tiger is shot dead

That poor tiger, killed by a stupid old man that decided it would be fun to climb into its enclosure to show off for his no doubt equally stupid wife & offspring. Well, at least he's dead too

Bastards didn't have to kill the tiger sorry motherfuckers

Cool. His wife is a widow and his kids don't have a father anymore, but at least he saved that 130 RMB (roughly $19) admission. Good on ya.

That cat was having his pound of flesh, and you can stick your fire crackers.. The chomping down on the back of his neck, was a first for me
