Yang Jinhai,was saved by a zoo keeper when he offered himself as a meal to the tigers in Chengdu zoo.He claimed he wanted to improve the lives of caged tiger.Yang posted several online messages about how optimistic he was about getting a job as a security guard in Chengdu in south west china's Sichuan province but he quickly found the job boring and monotonous and moved instead to a job in a printing factory where he also then resigned,saying that he felt there was more to life.After going to the zoo,he wrote how depressing it was to see the noble and magnificent tigers living in such humble surroundings,where they were caged and unable to follow their natural instincts to hunt and kill.He then announced that he had decided to sacrifice himself in other to provide the Bengal tigers with support.He climbed up the outside of the cage and jumped inside expecting that the tigers would pounce on him.Instead the two tigers,a male and female,seemed more nervous than anything else and the female actually ran off.Eventually he was attacked by the male tiger where he was cut after being scratched and bitten before he could be rescued by zoo keepers who fired a tranquilliser dart at the male tiger.He is lucky that those tigers were properly trained.
