B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

T24 is actually worse than T42 towards humans, both are man eaters but not necessarily "man hunters"

They come into conflict with man very often, the link I posted of all the predations on man from T24 total 4 in 5 years. I'm sure he has had many more opportunities, I think they are predators, simple as that. No predator should distinguish prey, they are all opportunity to eat. No matter how bad Humans want them to leave us alone, it doesn't work like that.

Corbett's idea that "man eaters" are old or injured, was obviously a fabrication to use for him to act like the "good guy" when killing these massive and beautiful animals. While some predations on man are from old or injured that may only be because man is slow, his senses are dull, he is easy prey.
T24 and T42 have something in common though, both have been captured by man, one has been collared the other sedated and medicated. Not trying to turn this back into what was discussed earlier, its just the truth.

I'd be curious to start a real thread on confirmed man eaters and see if we could actually find a common trend/s?

But either way, I hope they never touch these dominant males, they deserve to live their lives out in the territory they worked so hard to gain. If its a danger to man, so be it. Tourism is already going absolutely insane at Ranth. maybe it will help them maintain a little balance and less tourists will want to go, but I fear it may be the opposite. I think the threat of being attacked, even if its slight, may actually bring more tourism.
"People always love to gawk a car wreck" so to speak. The chances of seeing one may actually entice them further.
