Stupid villagers. If it were a shape-shifter, it would have shape-shifted into something else before it was killed.
Sounds like the tiger wasn’t nearly as “endangered” as the people who had to live around it.
Probably old and toothless.
Yes, we want these people to come here in droves....................
Whoops!
That’s kind of like the same diff anyway... If you live in a third world country where myths, legends and other such phony baloney stuff rules your life.
Its kind of like those people who follow Al Gore as a guru and believe in global warming, but thankfully on a much smaller scale.
Best response yet!
Yep. And you can be sure it won't be turning into a human form anymore.
Are you implying that Al Gord is on the endangered species list or that he is a shape shifter?
The Left says we need more cultural enrichment like this from the Third World.
The article alludes to big penalties for killing tigers. I expect the shape shifter explanation is just an excuse. There’s also probably the fear that forest officials will just release the animal, in which case the next year or so will be an extremely jumpy experience for people in the area.
Note that Indonesian has strict gun control. Even with a gun, going up against a skilled and strong ambush predator like a tiger, when you’re actually hunting it, is no joke. Even if you had the biggest caliber elephant gun on hand, if you weren’t actively looking for it, the odds are good that it could kill you a split second after you noticed its attack.
From the looks of that photo it doesn’t look like the tiger was very healthy by how thin it was.
But they were just suppose to let wander around their houses while waiting for the ONE trap that had been set to work.
Sounds like the villagers were the logical ones and the "Natural Resources Conservation Agency" were the loonies.
local news reports say it had mauled at least one or two residents who had followed it to its lair to determine whether it was a mythological, supernatural being...from the article
I expect to be mauled if I follow a tiger to its lair. Yep, real logical people. Let’s kill a big beast just because we can.
Since Indians in America are permitted to kill protected eagles, why shouldn’t these people be able to fo similar sacrifice without global rebuke?
Tiger under our house out comes Mr. Mossberg. :-)
you run rings round them logically!
