You Said - “Sounds like the police showed up 5 minutes too soon. What a shame.”
My Reply - your comment is absolutely disgusting. No human being deserves to be eaten by a tiger no matter what he has done. In this case the man-eating tiger got exactly what it deserved - A bullet. If only it had been shot after the first incident where it attacked its keeper.
Mess with the bull, get the horns. If these thugs were shooting the tiger with a slingshot, it’s a damn shame the tiger didn’t finish the job and cleanse the human gene pool.
