well one human was a small child who fell in by accident, the other was a grown man who was determined to jump into the tiger enclosure-to the point of overpowering a woman who tried to stop him from jumping into the enclosure
Its a human being that died. Likely not in their right mind because they jumped in a tiger enclosure. What are you even trying to compare here? Is the child more deserving of protection? It's just sad. Glad the tiger didn't get hurt. In the best case we wouldn't even keep gorillas and tigers in small enclosures and zoos to be stressed out by hundreds of people. And no one would fall or be able to jump in their enclosures either.
Kids are seen as more innocent (and they are) because they’re tiny and don’t have a full understanding of their actions. An adult male is seen as capable of making their own decisions, and it’s not easy to tell if somebody is having some sort of mental breakdown in the act or just doing something stupid.
In the moment there’s a clear distinction and decisions are made based on that
Okay I understand where that could be the case, but why do we even have to compare these like this and have one be "deserved" and one a tragedy instead of both being clearly tragic and sad things?
