The whole thing is just so tragically surreal... or is that surrealistically tragic? Whatever the case, it's equal parts hilariously absurd and heart-breakingly sad to me.

the whole situation -- living with tigers and doing weird magic -- seemed like an accident waiting to happen. Yet the attack, in the face of the human devotion to the tiger qualifies for the tragic and heartbreaking.
