Villagers thought they killed a supernatural shape-shifter. It was an endangered Sumatran tiger.

You missed the part where it was under someones house?

The only reason they followed it was that it was roaming about their village.

Yep logical to find out if it was just passing through and so not a long term problem or if it had settled in and was a problem.

And hunting a tiger with a sharp stick is not something you do "just because you can".

Just don’t shoot the skunk that is under the porch. :)

What can I say?

One man’s supernatural shape-shifter is another man’s Sumatran tiger...

“The tiger was sleeping under a resident’s stilt house when the people struck him repeatedly in the abdomen with a spear,” an official from the Batang Natal subdistrict told the newspaper.

Anyone who's willing to go up against a Sumatran tiger, even an unhealthy one, armed with nothing but a spear, is certainly not lacking in courage.

More likely they have bad judgment.

Well, if it’s being followed to its lair, not once, but twice because they wanted to see if it was a shapeshifter, I wouldn’t call that very logical. Tigers are being hunted down in that part of the world because these third worlders think it cures impotency. (As if those people need any more reason to breed like rats) Besides what the NY hoax says that’s probably the main reason it was hunted down.

Just more hypocrisy from the left. So much for the noble savage.

Ok, we will dump one off in your neighborhood and you can go pet the nice kitty.

Oh, you are one of THOSE type.

That explains it.

There’s no reason to be a smart ass with me, Mr.He-man.

I was simply giving an opinion on the article that probable main reason for the tiger’s death was for its parts.

Being a conservative doesn’t mean I enjoy cruelty to animals, and get a giggle out of seeing an animal butchered for its parts.

The tiger only apparently addressed those who chased it to his home—and most of the villagers are still alive, while the tiger is 100% dead.

Oh dear, you are so far out in left field you can not even see the ballpark.

I simply noted your mindset.

You seem awful defensive about it.

Yeah, but the tiger still wins 4-1

The equivalent of the operation being a success but the patient died.

You do realize those people who, (okay, I’ll change it to bunny rabbits), have no more regard for the children they have than the tiger they killed for penis soup.

Some pretty horrific stories of what they do to them.

Hate?

Such a strong reaction.

A general sign of excessive emotionalism.

Embrace logic.

Tiger penis has powerful juju as an aphrodisiac in some shithole Asian and African cultures. I’ll be it was the first thing cut from the beast.

I see were the only ones concerned about an animal being tortured to death.
