2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

What are the perfect pets to have if you live in a poor neighborhood in Mexico City?

A tiger and a lion obviously!

This Darwin award candidate died when trying to feed a lion and a tiger that lived in the rooftop of a house in Iztapalapa (not a very good neighborhood).

Apparently the lion and the tiger were faking reluctance to eat the meat that the employee of the butcher that sold the meat to feed the animals was trying to give them.

So this guy felt confident and approached the cage (nothing odd about the situation right?) but the Lion outsmarted him and with one claw grabbed him, the tiger came to help and both dragged this guy inside the cage and proceeded to eat him; when rescue came other employees first blocked the aid from coming and once they surpassed this obstacle, someone forgot to bring sedatives so they watched how the animals finished off the guy who was still alive when they arrived.

So next time any of you guys have to feed a lion and a tiger caged on a rooftop it would be wise to keep your distance!
