Dr Sunquist, and by extension the entire Scientific community, disagree with you. Check this out, from the book "Wild Cats of the World" of 2002, the full section of "Conflict with humans". Check specially page 365:

Jim Corbett is one of the first TRUE tiger conservationist in the entire history. To say that he "fabricated" his conclusions is BS from your part. Jim Corbett clearly stated that the tigers are gentlemen and they are normally very good tempered. Man eaters are a rarity, and are caused mostly by external situations. The case of tiger T-24 most be studied before to make silly claims like yours.

What you are going to "Invent" next time??? [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]


 


 

You mean the case of T24 AND T42?

and 20 other people killed by tiger attacks last year in india

and a nice account of a 4 year old female

(4 years old is a prime specimen btw)

That was why I said we should start a thread on it.
There are lots of people who are attacked by tigers every year, many don't fit Corbetts claim. So proof is there, it deserves to be looked in to. 
Simple as that......
 

 

Did you actually READ the images that I posted here??? You like to disagree with me, but you never do it correctly, as you never read what I post, despite the fact that it is from a Scientific and reputable source.

You only quote that 20 people were attacked in India, but you omitt the part that those were in diferent areas and diferent reasons, not all of them by predation.

Corbett "claims" are not based in random observations but in a great experience observing tigers in the wild and he is considered an autority, even by modern scientists. Learn to read before to comment Pckts, this is not the first time that I say this to you.
