Does it have to have eaten a man? Or just be of a species known for its fondness for manflesh?
Because I've only seen tigers in captivity (and Longleat, which is like captivity only with more drizzle). And I know that tigers aren't always euthanised when they kill someone (which is as it should be, seeing as they've been kept in a shoe box and poked with brooms and should be entitled to act out a little). But they'd probably get a tranquiliser dart in the neck pretty fast, so would they have a chance to really munch down?
So I may have seen a man-killing tiger. But unless the staff were really slack ("Where's Bill?" "He went off to feed Cruncher, ooooh, must have been three days ago...") I doubt I'll have seen a real live man-eating tiger.
(But I do have a life. I have, you may be certain, seen the tiger.) |
