As I stated before, I am personally acquainted with the exact spot where the tiger was shot. It would have been possible for the tracker to first attempt to tranqulize the tiger and, if that failed, then shoot it. Using deadly force reflects a complete lack of planning.
The tiger had not hunted anything in two weeks. The tiger was also declawed. Anuone who has declawed a household cat knows that the cat must be kept indoors forever. A declawed cat cannot hunt or defend itself. Same thing for a tiger. |
Lets see. A 400# predator hadn't had a meal in 2 weeks. Who wants to get in a canyon with kitty?
Have you ever shot at anything? Lets say you're within dart range of kitty, 50m or so. The tiger can take 50m meters in three bounds, accelerating the whole time. You've got a rifle powerful enough to stop a 400# animal. That's is a big mofo rifle. .45 to .50 cal, like a .458 win mag or a .50 cal Barret. If you're really quick you'll get one good shot and maybe a second hasty one of it's the Barret. Or you may have a double, in which case you have two shots for sure, but i don't give a damn how fast or cool you think you are, that second shot is not gonna be worth a crap. The tiger is charging so it is narrow and it's bounding--going up-and-down. Your job is to put a killing bullet into it before it bites Mr. Dartman's head off and then turns on you.
