What?
I'm thunderstruck. Why, the other night on Animal Planet they told me that the denizens of the Sundarbans just luuuvvs them some tigers!
Animal Planet told me that the people who live there think the occasional man-eating is just a small price to pay for the privilege of living amongst such charismatic megafauna.
That as far as they're concerned, the tiger is the great spirit that protects the forest, or some other B.S.
Why, Animal Planet wouldn't lie to me, would they?
