juicy this is the moment a man jumps into the lion's enclosure at the zoo he is addicted to drugs and alcohol which is really the only excuse for doing this to be honest but he hasn't just wandered in by accident as you might expect he's come with the express purpose of confronting the Lions so what do the Lions think about this oh shocker Zhong ho Chen was a 46 year old man when he jumped the wall to the lines enclosure at Taipei Zoo in Taiwan in 2004. not much is known about mother than he was addicted to amphetamines and abusing alcohol suffering delusions as a result and hearing voices in his head if a vice ever tells you to jump into the lion's enclosure be it from inside your head or outside don't do it confronting a lion and lioness Chen says to them Jesus will save you I don't think the lions are the ones that need saving at this point but apparently Chen is on a mission to convert them to Christianity so who do you think is going to win out in this encounter the warm embrace of Jesus Christ or these Heathen Lions it might seem like a foregone conclusion but Chen has two things in his favor here one the lines were fed not long before this encounter so instead of thinking dinner has come to us they're more likely thinking what the hell are you doing in here two Chen is crazy that might not sound like an advantage but look at him he's not scared he's got conviction confidence he's standing right up to those Lions generally a lion wants to pray it doesn't want to fight and right now Chen isn't acting like prey that kind of confidence can make an animal second guess itself after all if it's not afraid maybe it has reason not to be afraid maybe it knows something you don't maybe you're the one that should be afraid here's a gorilla charge on a man who doesn't Flinch and the gorilla Retreats here's a cat chasing away an alligator here's a honey badger fighting off three leopards these are all animals that could have been easily Torn to Pieces and really probably just got lucky they didn't catch the other in a bad mood but if they had a shown fear instead of standing up to their attackers that probably would have been the end of them Chen's in a similar situation if he runs away or cowers the Lion's predatory instincts are almost certainly going to kick in but Chen isn't afraid he says come bite me and waves his caught in front of the Lions now he's made a mistake the line clearly wasn't impressed by Chen's Choice a jacket or still Chen's carried away from the Lion's attack and Fallen by back on a rock and the line noticed now the line's thinking I'm having some of that he bites Chen's exposed arm should have held onto the jacket mate the line backs away holding out his tongue as if to say this is the worst Chinese I've ever had the line being oblivious to the fact that he's in Taiwan and although some there might identify as Chinese there are differing views among the population regarding their cultural and ethnic identity the lion didn't get too much fight back last time so he goes in again Chen pulls his hair and the lion doesn't like that he wouldn't mind a little snack but not if it's going to be painful he goes in for another try but Chan raises his fist and the lion backs up the Lions still aren't sure what to do about this fella in their enclosure and by now the commotion has assumingly woken up the zookeepers and they're like who's this crackhead trying to feed the Lions they're on a strict diet they get their tranquilizer guns and blow darts out but they're not sure what to do about Chen he refuses to leave they're afraid if they hit the lines with the tranquilizers this fella might start messing with them they discuss tranquilizing him too but they don't have the correct dosage for humans instead they get the fire brigade in with the high pressure hoses the Vets open fire on the lines and one Dart Finds Its Target on the male two others miss the lion won't go down just yet so they use the horses to keep the lines away from Chen cats hate water the Lions go to the far end of the enclosure where a man with a blow dart can tag the mail the line designed to see is sad enough of being a dartboard and heads inside his cage the Lioness has taken Refuge under a rock but the situation is quite distressing for her she makes a run for Chen and police draw their guns on her thankfully the horses scare her off at some point she'd been hit with track darts so her energy is starting to run out the police tried to coax Chen into coming out although he still doesn't seem to want to then he realizes he won't be able to preach God's love to the Lions if they're asleep and he limps his way to rescue the lions are thankfully unharmed having rejected Christ's message they get stoned and fall asleep Chen is not as fortunate he's got bite wounds and gashes but it could have been a lot worse if the Lions hadn't have been recently fed or if he'd have turned and run he'd almost certainly have been killed he was placed in a psychiatric hospital where they tended his wounds and got him off the drugs he was released as a sober man clean and Serene Wonder did he ever go back to the zoo and be like remember me we got high together once and she tried to kill me but I'm all right now then again I'd start the zoo were too Keen to have him back well I'll always be glad to have you back so if you liked this video why not watch some of my others and subscribe for a new one every week you can buy a channel membership to support the channel financially or buy some merch follow me on Twitter if you'd care to and if you don't care then wave your hands in the air until next time stay safe the lions are unharmed and sleep off the tranquilizer but Chan has severe gashes and serious bite wounds I was on drugs and drinking excessively every day and if you ask me what I was thinking I would say I was thinking things that weren't realistic I didn't know what I was thinking
