Mauled NY man: I wanted to be one with the tiger
NEW YORK (AP) -- Before his now-infamous tangle with a Bronx Zoo tiger, David Villalobos adorned his Facebook page with New Age odes to Mother Earth and affirmations like, "Be love and fearless."
Police said Saturday that Villalobos had told detectives that it was without fear that he leaped from an elevated train into the animal's den. His reason, they said, was that "he wanted to be one with the tiger."
Remember the 'Bear Whisperer' Tim Treadwell?
He was sad that any bear would find him a threat. DUH!
He finally communed "at one with the bears"...after he and his companion were eaten alive.
His last words were:
"Come out here; I'm being killed out here," "Play dead!" Huguenard yelled in reply. She then urged him to "fight back."
He asks her to get a pan and to come hit the bear. And then the tape ends.
When park rangers and state troopers arrived, they killed two bears that they say charged them. A necropsy of one of the bears, a 28-year-old male adult, determined that it had fed on the bodies.

Devolution is an ugly thing to watch.
