I'm sad the boy was killed but the tiger is just trying to survive. Prey is prey, he doesn't think, "Oh, this prey is taboo!". I do hope he gets captured alive and isn't killed. I think his recent history shows how resourceful and special he is.

I'm with Mickey too. Scoop the poop, bad fake sanctuary lady!

I'm so glad the little cheetah was rescued and good on the lioness for defending her cubs so well!

HAPPY NEW YEAR dear Omer and the kitties!

Luvzya :) xxx

Have a very Happy New Year. :)

Seems like the tigers are in the big cat spotlight this week. Its sad to hear the India part of it, but at least there are positives to this week's tiger related news as well.

This reminds me of an instance around where I live in mountain lion country. Cougars are beautiful animals like tigers in away, but when they come down from the high peaks and start wondering the human inhabited foothills, everyone gets tense. There was one particular cougar decided to try human prey. He was shot on the spot.

I'll never forget the time we had one in our back yard.

Despite the mountain lion's reputation I consider them beautiful animals and it bothers me to see them approach the grave area of concern.

I hope that the cougar situation here won't turn into the bleak situation of the tiger.

Sad to hear the tiger has killed. Humans though are easy prey. I hope they find the tiger soon before the authorities do. At least there weren't fatalities in the other cases.

I came across that fake site when I was doing some research. It looked suspect right from the start. Something about it didn't sit right. Seems that hunch was right after all thanks for pointing it out. Big Cat Rescue though (the real guys) do fantastic work. Awesome

Heartbreaking about the little cheetah cub at least the little guys has a chance now. I hate seeing animals suffer. It makes me angry.

Lionesses and cubs....not to be messed with.

Great post. I'll have to reread everything again

Happy New Year to you and the kitties

Oh you're right it was a new post--I skimmed over the first lines and thought it was the same one about the hiding cat from last week--I think maybe I didn't want to see that it had now killed someone :(

Since there isn't a new post for me to comment on I'll break my general commenting rule and just respond to the comment you left for me on my blog: thanks for the support about the CPSIA--I really hope it gets amended! (and thanks, as always, for coming by, reading and leaving a comment too)

I really hope that the conservationsist find the elusive tiger first. I am very sorry that the boy was killed, but the tiger needn't have done it on purpose. I am glad that the fake charity was exposed. I am with Mickey. The woman should have to scoop the big cat poop at the legitimate sanctuary.

Thanks for the weekly update :) It is sad,but ani...

Thanks for the weekly update :) It is sad,but animals tend to lose when there are man/animal conflicts :(
It is happening more often as we take away more and more of their habitat!!
I am happy that the fake was exposed!!!! I hope she has to spend her days scooping poop!!!!

2008-12-29T17:14:00.000-08:00

I hope things work out in India. As for the lady running the fake sanctuary, that's just awful. It hurts the legitimate charities because people become leary.

I hope everything works out for all these tigers a...

2008-12-29T13:45:00.000-08:00

I hope everything works out for all these tigers and that they can be taken to a place where they can't hurt beans.

Happy New Year to you, too!

How awful on the boy that was killed by the illusive tiger. I hope things work out okay here.

Good news on the two that were just injured and are recovering though.

You just can't mess with mama's babies and get away with it. Plain and simple.

Have a great week. :)
