Typical government workers, kill the very same thing they are sweared to protect. What a complete waste of a life.

Funny, Anderson 360 on CNN had a segment on exotic animals in America just the night before the tiger was killed. He said there are lines of millionairs willing to pay big bucks to shoot lions and tigers in a controlled environment for fun. Guess the guy who shot the tiger in L.A. just joined the million dollar boy's club. He got all the bragging rights.
