Just read a story that they were expected to be treed for at least another 4 days.
Shouldn't have killed the tiger cub. Mama tigers are worse that mama bears when it comes to their babies.

According to the article in Daily Mail, the guy was not mauled to death, he was torn apart and eaten.

A scene from Quest for Fire comes into mind.

They were taken to the hospital where they were treed and released.

They had all four five guys treed. Could have gone up for a snack any time they wanted.
Those guys are damn lucky to be alive.

Article says the guy who was mauled to death had climbed the tree, but the branch broke, causing him to fall to the ground, where he was pounced upon by the tigers. Terrible way to die.

While a tiger can climb tree’s they rarely do as they get older they just get too big and heavy.
To: rawhide
next time one considers their own ‘bad luck’ think of this poor guy whose branch broke at the worst possible time.

It surely would have been a rather quick way to go. Excited tigers are strong and fast. Consider the genius kids who taunted the tiger in SF a couple of years ago and enticed it to spring at them.

I didnt see that the cub was killed—only trapped. But it depends on the type of trap.

Where does it say they “killed” the cub?
“accidentally caught a tiger cub in a trap they were using to catch deer for food”

Where these poachers?
If they were, I would not care if tigers ate all of them.

Tigers can’t climb trees? Black bears can!
