Thanks Lancaster. Yes that is true, in 2009 the same gentleman shot a maneater tiger. I reported this on the NE facebook page, but not here yet. The FB page has had some stoushes with irate Indians that think the leopard should have been captured instead of killed.

Killing of elephants, tigers, leopards, whales, often gets greenies and even hunters with narrow perspective very upset. A lot shooters belonging to some prestigious gunmaker sites get very upset whenever elephant hunt photos are posted ...

Killing a man eater is not necessarily sport hunting but a public duty for a public good, and should be viewed like that.

Mr Khan is a very lucky modern day hunter and a successful man eater killer with now two cats under his belt.

(BTW somewhere people said his tiger photos were photoshopped with his head p-sed on the photo. His face is just lit well possibly by a torch.)
