Awful in this case.
I do recommend jumping into a tiger pit for actual suicide attempts though. Like i dont endorse suicide at all, but if its going that way anyway.
Either you'll die and give a caged animal a chance to feel alive again, or you win the fight somehow and become a legend overnight.
I can only assume you've never even watched a documentary of a big cat taking down a deer let alone seen it happen.
It is an awful way to go, bleeding out while your limbs are torn from your conscious body can't be pleasant.
In most cases the "offending" tiger would be killed, why take a majestic tiger with you?
Predators that harm people are so frequently euthanized that if I were suicidal I wouldn't go this way for fear of the tiger being killed for my killing.
I suspect the probably less painful methods of death than being ripped apart by a lion.
Horrifying way to go imo. As someone with multiple attempts, I feel like that would reliably scare me away from that method.
Tigers probably don’t want to be shot during a rescue attempt.
Also, not saying there’s an afterlife, especially 1 shared afterlife, but just in case, I don’t want to go to any afterlife that contains a tiger holding a grudge waiting to ask me why I got it shot. I’m not suicidal, but if I were I think an eternity of beef with an angelic tiger might be reason to rethink.
