Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Obviously it is drugged.Not ideal situation.I think the tiger is drugged so that it would not take a swipe at a pestering child or something similar.

Would I shoot or rip them with my bare hands?NO. :wink: :lol: Certainly not the tourists who were curious to take a picture with the tiger or touch it.

Just turn the tiger loose in its pen.

Can someone please give me the address of the handler. The 458 Win Mag would be an ideal calibre for the handler. I would like to hang his b***s on my trophy wall!

No point wasting good bullets, gents. Let them try this when the tiger is awake.

More on the video: http://ecowarriorz.blogspot.com/2010/05 ... amosa.html
The A' Famosa Resort was told to stop using abusing tigers back in April according to a letter sent to Malaysiakini from a representative of the secretary general of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

It said it had already instructed the resort's management to put a halt to the tiger photo sessions in April, following complaints from the public. The letter also says that the wildlife department is investigating the YouTube video that sparked the current wave of public condemnation of A'Famosa's treatment of tigers.

The wildlife department also promises to take firm action against anyone found guilty of abusing animals and urges the public to report animal abuse at: Tel: 03-9086 6800, Email: [email protected] or via the e–Aduan channel.

One hopes this pledge is sincere and not part of the normal whitewash normally associated with the government and its departments these days. I notice, with ill-ease, how the letter states the reason for the ban was due to public outrage, rather than respect for this magnificent animal's intrinsic rights. I'm going to do exactly as they request and bombard the department with reports of animal abuse to see how genuine they are

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
