is this a hoax?
Eeeeek! rather gruesome!
When people view this video, all the more they will agree with AVA that large dogs such as doberman and Alsations dogs need to be leashed and the owners be prepard to be fined and jailed these creatures attack people.
We need to respect that animals have their own natural instinct for survival.

4 MINUTES OF TERROR
THE FOUR MINUTES OF TERROR BEGAN WITH A PLAYFUL THOUGHT BY SEVEN FRIENDS OUT FOR A DAY AT THE SINGAPORE ZOO
November 15, 2008
PICTURES COURTESY OF Nizam Zainal (below) and Fadzil Ramlee (bottom)
Who in their right mind would jump into an enclosure with three wild tigers, armed with nothing but a pail and a broomstick?
They had seen a man in the enclosure belonging to three white tigers. It's just an animal act, thought Nizam Zainal and his six friends.
So Nizam continued filming at the White Tiger exhibit with his video camera.
His group of friends were all prepared for a relaxing day at the zoo, despite the cold, drizzly weather.
All of them had just completed their O-level examinations and had been looking forward to this break.
It was a slow day at the zoo. Small pockets of tourists were strolling around. It was a weekday. And the weather was dreary.
SUDDENLY, HE HEARD A LOUD SPLASH.
The 16-year-old swung his video camera around and was surprised to see Mr Nordin Montong, 32, wading in the water.
'I turned and saw a man in the water, walking slowly with both his arms outstretched, with a pail and a broom in each hand.
'The man looked very calm and was shouting at the tigers, trying to attract their attention.'
It must be a zoo-keeper who was familiar with the tiger exhibit, he thought, still calm.
Tiger approaches
One of the tigers, clearly excited by the splash, sprinted towards the water to investigate the disturbance.
Mr Nordin coolly emerged from the water and walked up a stone ledge, coming face-to-face with the still calm but curious and waiting tiger.
Nizam thought for a moment that the tiger was familiar with Mr Nordin and had gone to welcomehim.
PERHAPS THE TIGER WAS BEGGING FOR A SNACK, thought Nizam.
But the tiger suddenly swiped at Mr Nordin, to the horror of the 20-strong gawking, frightened crowd at the enclosure.
The blows brought Mr Nordin to his knees.
The huge cat then sank its teeth into the back of Mr Nordin's neck and tossed him around repeatedly like a ragdoll.
Then the second tiger crawled up the ledge.
Both tigers started to sniff at and circle Mr Nordin.
Nizam's friend, Fadzil Ramlee, also 16, shouted repeatedly to Mr Nordin: 'Dude, get into the water!'
Fadzil told The New Paper later. 'When he was being attacked, some people started screaming and shouting at him to get into the water.
'We also shouted at the tigers to distract them. One tourist threw his umbrella at the tigers but missed.'
His hands trembling, Fadzil continued shooting with his video camera, somewhat mesmerised by the vicious attack unfolding before his eyes.
Mr Nordin was then curled up on the stone ledge. He used the pail to cover his head.
The two tigers stood over him. Then they circled him, sniffed him - and began swiping at him repeatedly with their huge paws.
The tigers seemed distracted by the crowd's shouts and whistles, but they never left Mr Nordin's side.
This lasted a good two minutes.
The crowd swelled to more than 30 people, including some of the zoo's staff. One zookeeper tried to distract the tigers by using a long stick to hit the water.
Nizam said he didn't see any zoo staff armed with rifles.
Just when the crowd thought the tigers were distracted enough for Mr Nordin to be safe, one tiger suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him further into the enclosure.
The crowd screamed even louder at the two tigers, both in shock and horror, and in a desperate bid to distract the tigers.
The two tigers looked away, momentarily distracted by the crowd. Mr Nordin stood up but was quickly brought down again by the tigers.
One tiger started to bite Mr Nordin on his back repeatedly. The crowd cringed in horror.
Blood could be seen streaming from the wounds on his back. The tiger's mouth was also bloody. Mr Nordin was struggling and thrashing his legs about.
Then he became still.
That was Nizam's last glimpse of Mr Nordin.
Just before the four-minute clip ended, a third tiger emerge from the bushes.
Nizam and his friends were by then literally trembling. Nizam could no longer hold the camera steady.
They were ushered quickly out of the enclosure by the zoo-keepers, who then cordoned off the area.
The group remained quiet after that, traumatised by what they saw and captured on video.
Said Nizam: 'I didn't expect to shoot something so terrifying. It was so unreal.'
He said that his hand was shaking while he was shooting the entire scene, but for some reason, he couldn't put down the camera.
He said: 'It was emotional but I just couldn't put down the camera.'
The $1,100 video camera belongs to his father.
He said that he saw one girl crying, and holding on to her boyfriend while being led out of the enclosure.
The group continued their tour of the zoo, and returned to the enclosure about three hours later.
It was then that they learnt that the man had died from his injuries.
Said Fadzil: 'All of us thought that maybe the man was rescued and had only slight injuries.
'It's a terrible way to die.'

Other animal attacks at Zoo
November 15, 2008
SEPTEMBER 1990
Ah Meng the orang utan chased a French student who was at the zoo to study orang utan behaviour. The primate was reportedly jealous that her keeper was paying attention to the girl. Two days later, the student was cornered in a kitchen by a furious Ah Meng - and had to make a racket with chairs and tables to fend off an attack.
MAY 1991
During a photo session, a chimpanzee bit a 9-month-old girl's little finger, almost severing it. Little Pamela Koh had a fractured bone and a torn tendon and had to undergo surgery. After the incident, the zoo banned children under 2 from being photographed next to chimpanzees, orang utans and snakes.
AUGUST 1997
Chimpanzee which escaped from its enclosure scratched a British tourist behind her right knee. This caused the 27-year-old woman's leg to bleed and bruise.
JULY 2001
Chawang, a male elephant, suddenly attacked Gopal, its keeper of 18 years, breaking his ribs and puncturing his lung. After that, keepers were not allowed to have any contact with Chawang. Despite almost losing his life to Chawang, Gopal returned in 2005 to take care of him.
APRIL 2005
A gavial, a type of crocodile, bit a zookeeper, leaving a 2cm tooth embedded in his leg and seven puncture holes.
A week later a Serval cat scratched a Chinese tourist's right foot at the Night Safari.
OCTOBER 2006
During feeding time, Quilon, a rhinoceros at the Night Safari, knocked over its keeper, fracturing her leg. Flashes used by inconsiderate visitors could have unsettled the rhino.

'Goodbye, I won't be seeing you again'
November 15, 2008
BEFORE the four minutes of terror that were captured on video by Nizam Zainal, the horror began with what seemed like strange, agitated behaviour.
Contract cleaner Nordin Montong, 32, was seen fumbling through cards in a wallet and then throwing the contents into a crocodile enclosure.
An Australian couple saw him do this at the zoo's Treetops Trail near the main entrance. He then cycled away.
Zookeepers had also seen Mr Nordin near a building where workers have their meals. The area is not accessible to the public.
They saw him throw his food coupons and plant cutter to the ground, zoo officials said.
'Goodbye, I won't be seeing you again,' he announced to the zookeepers in Malay, before cycling out of the zoo through a back exit.
But minutes later, Mr Nordin was seen cycling back in through the main entrance.
Then there was a commotion at the white tiger exhibit...
A keeper nearby was alerted and he sent out the chilling message over the zoo's walkie-talkie system at 12.15pm: Someone was in the white tiger enclosure.
Zookeepers who were having their lunch sprung into action.
About 20 of them ran to the white tiger viewing gallery where horrified visitors were watching Mr Nordin approach the three tigers.
The three tiger keepers spread themselves out.
One of them joined the other keepers in trying to distract the tigers from Mr Nordin by shouting and throwing items like brooms and bin lids.
Meanwhile, the other two tiger keepers ran to the back of the exhibit to try to lure the tigers - a male and two females - back into their dens.
Veterinarians also rushed over to see how they could help the injured man, while the civil defence force and police were alerted.
Two licensed shooters, armed with rifles containing live rounds, arrived five minutes after the alarm was raised.
But the tigers were confined in their dens by the time the shooters got there.
The tigers had dragged Mr Nordin to the back of the enclosure and let go of him inside the passageway leading to the dens.
Four veterinarians then entered the passageway and administered first aid to Mr Nordin.
To get into the enclosure, Mr Nordin had jumped over a railing and fallen into the deep moat.
Before Mr Nordin jumped, someone had seen him climb onto and walk along the ledge at the viewing gallery, said Mr Biswajit Guha, the zoo's assistant director of zoology.
He told reporters that the tiger keepers had to lure the tigers into the den as no one is allowed to have direct contact with the beasts.
They are led into the den via a series of guillotine and sliding doors.
Mr Nordin was barely alive when he was pulled out.
Said Mr Guha: 'His heart was still beating but it was very weak. By the time the ambulance arrived, the vets were not able to resuscitate him.'
The ambulance arrived at 12.45pm, followed by the police at 1pm.
Mr Nordin had multiple bite wounds to his neck, and his skull was fractured.
'His family has been notified. Our heartfelt condolences are with Nordin's family and we will provide whatever assistance they need during this difficult period,' said Mr Guha.
He said it would have taken quite an effort to jump into the moat as there is a 1.5m-high wooden railing, followed by a 1m-wide planter bed with shrubs in front of the railing.
Why weren't the tigers shot?
Mr Guha said a tranquiliser dart was not used because the tiger was beside the worker.
'If darted, the tiger may react adversely to the sudden impact and redirect it to the worker. Tranquilisers are not instantaneous and will take time to react,' he added.
Mr Nordin, who is from Sarawak, Malaysia, was a cleaner with cleaning contractor Sun City Maintenance.
He started work in June and was tasked to clean the chimpanzee enclosure, about 1km away from the white tiger exhibit.
The two exhibits are at almost opposite ends of the zoo, said Mr Guha.
The white tiger enclosure was closed off after the incident. It will be closed for the next few days for a thorough check and to allow the tigers to settle down.
'We will continue to observe for any sign of stress in the animals and they will continue to be in our collection,' Mr Guha said.
The 9-year-old white tigers, named Omar, Jippie and Winnie, arrived at the Singapore Zoo from Indonesia in 2001.
As a safety precaution, the zoo will be checking to see if there are any areas that are easily breached, he added.
He said there was no risk to any visitor or zoo staff at any time.
A Sun City Maintenance spokesman said its operations manager had often described Mr Nordin as 'very hardworking'.
The police are investigating.
