It started off as a trip to watch some scientists working as part of a conservation effort in Russia's Far East.

While the head veterinarian of the Moscow Zoo was explaining to the Russian prime minister how to use a tranquilizer rifle, a tiger escaped from scientists working nearby and threatened the film crew.

Putin brought the tiger down with the rifle, before helping scientists measure the tiger's canines and fit it with a satellite transmitter.

The Tiger said:

Don't believe them. I was framed.

In an act of bravery that could (almost) be made for TV...

And, probably was staged...

I would have never believed it! Even Putin is trying to impress the girl from Alaska. Sounds like he has given up on Obama

So he shot a tranquilizer gun after pulling some judo moves with a tiger. OK, let’s kick it up several notches and see if he can save his ass when he goes hunting with Cheney.

Sounds like the russians are becoming a big of liars as the North Koreans when it comes to little Kim.
Kim on his first golf game made what 6 or 8 holes in one?
Putin the kgb stooge is all things to all men.
Sounds like hooey ya know.

Sounds like that’s what the scientists planned to do - tranquilize the tiger to gather data.

They let (okay, they HAD to let) Putin do the tranquilizing instead of one of the crew.

That said, although Putin is a creepy commie, there’s nothing wrong with being manly. I hope someday it comes back in style in the US, and the metrosexuals wither away.

Putin brought the tiger down with the rifle

I say BS.

Tranquilizers don't work that fast do they?

They make is sound as if the tiger was one step away from eating the crew and Putie shot it down in an instant.
