Animals, not an 'entertainment' creature

Well, am not a animal person yet I feel bad when people accuse the wild cat for the attack at Delhi Zoo on Sept. 24 . The incident where a 19 yr old boy Masqood, fell 18 feet into a dry moat in the tigers` enclosure. Social media is pumped with various theories about the reasons behind tiger`s attack by those who saw the video which went viral online. 

This wild cat who is named as 'Vijay' by the zoo officials was born in the same zoo in 2007 and was brought up in Delhi zoo itself, so easily understood that he was not taught by his mother and his ethics are purely from his instincts. 


FACTS
*Animals that has their needs fulfilled behave entirely well mannered and well matured making us astonished with their behavior. (ex. Lion adopts antelope etc)
*Tiger is one of the territory animals. (So the boy was literally an intruder.)

"Stones were thrown at it" said Bittu, who filmed the incident on his cell phone.

Some say that Tiger attacked the boy after being provoked (stones were thrown at him). Its evident from the video that Vijay was staring at the boy who entered his territory and had no intentions of hurting him. I have no comments regarding the animal instinct, still- In the video Vijay roars at the crowd above before getting hold of the boy. 

Latest news says that in the forensic report there is no other wound on the boy`s body except that on his neck. So apparently the tiger was saving the boy from the pelting. Tigers generally catch their cubs on neck to save them from threat.(Tiger cubs have extra thick fur and skin on their neck) So that can be a natural reason to justify the tiger getting hold of the guy`s neck and taking him away from the public. Unfortunately his teeth wounded the guy and bled him to death.  
In my opinion Masqood is guilty for jumping into the moat and zoo officials cant be blamed for poor restrictions but they should be blamed for leaving the boy unattended so long which can be a cause of his death too.The boy was lying on the spot for long until the officials could scare the tiger to its cage.  

P.S Animals should be let free, they aren't entertainment beings for humans. They don't belong to zoos but the nature (Jungle)
