White Tiger Kills Indian Guy

I can't believe you guys believe this nonsense. Tigers might be smart, but they don't have the capacity to logically think things through like that. The cat was playing with him like a house cat would play with a mouse, and then it grabbed him by the noggin and dragged him away as if he were a dead deer, probably breaking his neck in the process. They said he was mauled to death and the video is too far away and out of focus to tell what the cat was doing to him after that, but I'm sure it wasn't comforting the poor lad.

The tiger showed zero sign of aggression towards the guy though.

Huh? So you're saying the tiger can't discern between a human and a deer, and can't make a concious decision on how to act depending on which it is?

It's like my dogs. When they see a cat, they try to chase and kill it. When they see say a human baby they'll do nothing and/or protect it. When they see a monkey, they walk away and leave it alone.

Huh? Right back atcha. I never said a tiger can't differentiate between a human and a deer. The tiger doesn't give a fuck about either and will happily kill both.

Tigers kill people all the time.

22.7 people on average each year in India and Bangladesh between 1947 and 1983.

Tiger attacks in the Sundarbans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The most comprehensive study of deaths due to tiger attacks estimates that at least 373,000 people died due to tiger attacks between 1800 and 2009, the majority of these attacks occurring in South and Southeast Asia.[1] In Southeast Asia, attacks gradually declined after peaking in the nineteenth century, but attacks in South Asia have remained high, particularly in the Sundarbans."

And...

"Between 1876 and 1912, tigers killed 33,247 people in British India."

And from the BBC, January this year...

"There are about 1,700 tigers left in the wild in India. In the past five weeks, 17 people in four states have been killed by tigers."

BBC News - Why are India's tigers killing humans?

Tigers aren't your fucking domesticated dog. How would you even think that's a good comparison? Think more like a domesticated cat that, when let out to roam, will pretty much kill anything and everything that it comes across that it's capable of killing, even if it has no intention of eating it. They're wired completely differently man.

Come on Fatbat, why would you make a statement like that? YouTube is full of videos of people hanging out with tigers.

It's so ridiculous to think that these are killing machines. Only we humans kill for no valid reason. These animals kill when 1) They are hungry or 2) They feel the need to protect their family.

You're either retarded or you've just been trolling this whole time. Did you read anything I posted above? Tigers don't typically eat humans, but they've killed hundreds of thousands of us over the last 200 years.

That's not true. They are apex predators. There is no thought behind it. We need to stop anthropomorphizing 500lb wild animals. The tiger didn't eat the dude nor was it protecting anything. They act out of millions of years of Darwinian instinct.

Ask the fucker (in your best tiger) why he killed the idiot.
 
This all could have been easily prevented if India had stricter Tiger control laws.

Tigers are notoriously dangerous.

Truth be told, if a house cat was the size of a rottweiler or shepherd they would be lethal too.

Anyone who have had a cat knows that no matter how smart they are and how affectionate, sometimes they just get bouts of pure bloodlust instinct where they'll bite and scratch.

And they do play sadistically with their prey, seen it with mice countless of times. Don't even want to eat it, don't chase it around, only sits looking and then bites or claws when the prey tries to get away. Brutal little fukkers honestly. They're usually the most affectionate after a kill.

I'd be scared absolutely shitless if a tiger was anywhere near.
 
"The most comprehensive study of deaths due to tiger attacks estimates that at least 373,000 people died due to tiger attacks between 1800 and 2009, the majority of these attacks occurring in South and Southeast Asia.

So in the last 209 years tigers have killed an average of 1,784 people per year (THAT WE KNOW OF), and the estimated global population is between 3,000 and 4,000 tigers, so lets estimate 3,500.

For the sake of my argument we're going to ignore the fact that the tiger population has been decreasing for the last 200 years.

For every tiger in the world today, 0.509 people are killed each year. So if some mad scientist converted every domesticated cat in just the United States into tigers (84 million of them), the result would be 42,750,000 fatal tiger encounters annually.

Are you worried yet gang? Because you should be.
