I think this quote, which I have also seen in Kruger Park in RSA, is a work of fiction by some writer looking to make a point. Too bad he felt he had to attribute it to a man that surely didn't care one way or the other.

I read it in some book and saved it and used it.Whatever you assume may be true but this is not my fault.But so mny thanks or your information.

As for tigers

Mind you, these were not some man eaters like Col. Peterson's lions of Tsavo, or Jim Corbett's tigers of Kumaon; these were perfectly normal, run of the mill types, leading their lives according to the laws of nature, or rather, according to the laws of the Jungle

Remeber british goverment had the record of all injuries and death caused by these animals and they add this in the district gzzets.
This slughter happened without any reason.
