Good. It makes zero sense to punish the animal for the human’s stupidity.
A melanistic jaguar is a color morph which occurs at about 6 percent frequency in populations
Melanistic jaguars are informally known as black panthers, but as with all forms of polymorphism they do not form a separate species.
The black morph is less common than the spotted morph, estimated at occurring in about 6% of the South American jaguar population.[35]
In Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental, the first black jaguar was recorded in 2004.[36]
Some evidence indicates that the melanistic allele is dominant, and being supported by natural selection.[37]
The black form may be an example of heterozygote advantage; breeding in captivity is not yet conclusive on this.
Melanistic jaguars (or “black” jaguars) occur primarily in parts of South America, and are virtually unknown in wild populations residing in the subtropical and temperate regions of North America; they have never been documented north of Mexico’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec.[38]
Extremely rare albino individuals, sometimes called white panthers, also occur among jaguars, as with the other big cats.[24]
As usual with albinos in the wild, selection keeps the frequency close to the rate of mutation.
I think the Jaguar should be allowed to finish its meal.
Do idiot things and expect severe results. No one who is 30 should be this stupid…probably too many Walt Disney animal movies as a child.
Should have left her bleed out, that way she would never pass on her genes.
Brain dead woman in her 30s. No surprise that video of this life experience reveals multiple tramp stamps.

People who do this and survive should be prosecuted for wildlife endangeement
Stupid should hurt.
Good Kitty!
That’s a nasty cut but man is she flat freaking out
A different reaction per person I reckon
Very happy to hear this. Just a kitty being a kitty.
And the woman being a moron.
“The woman jumped a barrier at the Litchfield Park zoo and reached out to take a selfie...”

Was this in Florida by any chance?
The jaguar really attacked because it saw she was shooting the video vertically.
I dunno, I’d kinda been wondering what jaguar backstrap tasted like.
