Bad Kitty! No Indian food for you!

That kitty wasn't playing. A couple of those were clearly attempts to make killing bites to the back of the neck.

Wow. Enough time to take a picture of the guy about to be attacked, but not enough time to warn the poor guy?

This seems to be becoming more and more common as the use of camera phones spread. Get the photo to post online, no matter who gets killed.

P.S. Read Corbett's great books on hunting leopards and tigers in India almost a century ago. Great reading.

The comments on the yahoo page are classic liberal loons. Here is one comment:

TIME FOR NATURE TO FIGHT BACK BEFORE WE KILL EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. WOULD IT NOT BE A WONDERFUL BALANCED WORLD WITHOUT PEOPLE?

Or Capstick-He covers a guy named Sasha Seimel who hunted Jaguars with a spear, killing over 300 of them.

Read that one too. It was amazing, in South America as I recall. I like Capstick’s Africa hunting books.

“The Man Eating Leopard of Rudrapryag” is also great reading by Corbett.

In further news it has been determined to be very bad form to poke a mad leopard with a stick, especially when your truck window sticks.LOL

I just hope the lion killed her quickly. Being eaten alive just can’t be fun.

The Man Eaters of Kumaon... great read.

I must have read that book at least six times!

I found a replacement copy, and I'll be reading that one several times I'm sure.

After reading the comments on the story I’m thinking these posters live on another planet.

Why do people not care about each other? Why root or value the life of the animal over a human.

What is wrong with the world?
