Zoo jumper’s jungle love

The Issue: David Villalobos, who foolishly jumped from a monorail into the tigers’ den at the Bronx Zoo.

To the man who jumped into the tiger den at the Bronx Zoo: Get well or get help soon (“Bx. Zoo Tiger Mauls Monorail Jumper,” Sept. 22).

And don’t worry about your medical bills.

I am sure ObamaCare — the taxpayers — will take care of everything.

David Villalobos loved animals and claimed that he jumped into a tigers’ den at the Bronx Zoo because he wanted to be “one with a tiger.”

Villalobos was lucky that he didn’t become “one with a tiger” in the tiger’s stomach, which wouldn’t have been a very enjoyable experience.

What in God’s name was he thinking?

Just call him David “Villalocos.”

Memo to Villalobos: Don’t pet the animals — especially at the Bronx Zoo!
