Tigers are majestic creatures that should be preserved.
They are also efficient and dangerous ambush predators that will eat you or your children given the chance.
Reminds me of that dentist that got a tag and shot “Cecil the Lion” and the literati in NYC engaged in the requisite handwringing while the Africans who actually had to live with it were celebrating the 50 grand payday and the elimination of a dangerous menace.
Then again maybe reintroducing apex predators to the streets of San Francisco would be a net improvement. Let’s restore the grizzly to the bay area.
- akudha 4y agoThere is this insane book called "Man eaters of Kumaon" by Jim Corbett. It is an old book, but well worth your time. If my memory is right, one of the tigers he goes after had killed hundreds of humans. Insane story
- jurassic 4y ago+1 on this book recommendation. Insanely good.
- bastardoperator 4y agoThey're not dangerous to humans, we've proven that by nearly eliminating the entire species. Bears are no match either, that bear on the CA flag is also extinct. Go walk around the tenderloin at night, I bet you would fare better against a bear versus the collective denizen.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> Bears are no match either Bears will absolutely see you as a food source. Don’t fuck with bears. Tigers, and most large cats, are more sensitive about risk of injury and as such spooked off more easily, e.g. by you standing up. Bears near populations aren’t going to seek you out, but they’re different from tigers.

- spaceman_2020 4y agoas far as I’m concerned, we’ve encroached on their territory. Not the other way around.

Lol, no tigers don't generally attack people, and will often run away when the human stands up. Attacks on humans are generally similar to Bear attacks, defensive in nature when people are messing with their young or getting up in their business. Though there have been cases of injured tigers going nuts and switching to attacking people. “Cecil the Lion” was not a tiger. "the elimination of a dangerous menace" no, he lived in a national park and was practically a zoo exhibit. He had a GPS tracker and all the safari tours in the area would go see him. His fame with tourist is what caused the uproar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Cecil_the_lion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Cecil_the_lion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_attack
