tlcorbinTatiana the Siberian Tigress

Shown is another tigress named Tatiana, equally fierce I'm sure and nearly as beautiful as the Siberian tiger; loaded with the same pent up rage as experienced by the other lady in a cage, both of whom have been tormented while on display. Predictably one day it will explode and did for the tiger.
As I understand it: three men may have been involved in taunting this animal, had they been raised in a area where they could encounter wild animals on occasion, they’d have known better. Although caged, these animals are inherently predators and aren’t as dumb as they look inside their controlled environment. They are masters of their world in the wild, except against men trained to hunt their species and those are a select few.
Carlos Sousa Jr., 17 was killed by the Siberian tiger, and it appears that someone may have been dangling a leg inside its compound. Teasing a predator nearly twice your size with your flesh is just stupid. I have witnessed incidents where young men will goad each other into taunting people and animals that are seemingly helpless, and I have seen this action reversed and the victim in the situation bit them in their collective butts.
As a hunter and fisherman in Alaska, I have found myself being stalked by a curious animal looking me and my ‘prey’ over; in the wild, size and ferocity rules, even when it involves man, and they will steal the prey of smaller animals. On Admiralty Island for example, the percussion sound of a rifle shot during hunting season is like ringing a dinner bell for the local bear population; encounters with those fierce creatures are far more common than most folks realize.
The point here is, predatory animals in any environment will resort to form when an opportunity presents itself. In this case, the big cat when freed went straight for its tormentors. Animals in the wild have zero tolerance for this behavior, and do deliberately hunt and try to kill tormentors when possible. Ask any big game guide that has had to track wounded animals.
The caveat in this case; I half believe that this cat may have had knowledgeable human assistance. But, the shoe and blood found on site leave room for doubt, but raises another question, just how smart was this cat named Tatiana compared to the one named Carlos?
Sadly, both are now dead victims.

The follies of youth, we DO give them far too much freedom, it's time they were kept under control, for theirs and everyone else's benefits.
They all have too much too soon before they are able to handle it.
Any more for me to check yet, still can't wait for your 10.
Did you see my hint before?

Well now you've been put in the slammer, may we expect that 10 soon, then only need to check 10 or more. Puff puff, cricket bat, cricket bat, over the head, boxing gloves around the ears. Get It?

Everyday, I receive about 20 emails with links to the posts I follow, which takes me about an hour or less to read and post comments to them, unless I get off on a tear, a fairly common occurrence.
This has got to be one my all time favorite comments.
