Man Eater
Don't want to be a tiger, tigers play too rough -- Elvis Presley
Under most circumstances, a tiger would rather avoid crossing tracks with man.
But
If an injured tiger crosses paths with a human,
which results in the latter being killed,
it realizes the physical weakness of man
and includes him in its menu.
There are two opposing schools of thought.
One feels that man-eaters can never be made to disassociate man as a natural prey species.
Once a man-eater, always a man-eater.
The other school of thought feels that a man-eater can be taught
and made to realize that man should not feature on its regular diet.
They are now captured and put in zoos.
It is only in cases where the circumstances are totally unavoidable
that man-eaters
are
shot
dead.
Once a tiger loses its fear of man, it is one of the most dangerous animals in the world.
