Incredible story and animal...

find it interesting that even over there, after a boy was killed, that animal rights groups were able to change thing, albeit briefly....they are everywhere...

The hunter is a lucky, lucky man...

As to what turned him to a maneater...agree with 9.3 on this...and yes, just as any other animal, once they start something and it is easy, they will continue...you will never change them once the practice begins...no different than when a farm dog starts killing chickens or lambs...once they start they will continue...

Actually not a lot different than what occurs in some of our inner cities...unfortunatly....its easy and because they can...
