How to kill a tiger?

Tigers are large animals. When they stand up on two legs, they taller than a tall man; that's a little over 6'. Thus you'd probably need something very large that can make a vicious wound. Because tiger would very difficult to hurt it. In ancient Rome, they pit a tiger against a lion and the tiger killed the lion in a few seconds. The Romans were pretty pissed, too. Tigers are build to take down large animals; they're more compactly built; they're shorter legnthwise, but taller at the shoulder. They've been known to even take down juvenile elephants, water buffalo, drag a domestic cows six feet over the wall, and plugged a man down from a very tall tree. [laugh!] that's why the tiger is a simbol of courage and strength in Asia.

I usually climb a palm tree and let the tiger run around and around the bottom until it turns to butter ...... then I put it on my pancakes .....

Uzi 9mm...........the weapon of choice

Unless it's THE tiger, of Winnie the Pooh fame, then I would imagine a eye to eye stare would suffice, something like this....

They're bouncy,bouncy,bouncy,bouncy,fun,fun.fun,fun,fun...

Hmmm, I'm remembering what happened to the real Winchester in that scene the "Ghost and the Darkness" (excellent flick I can't recommend enough). Perhaps I'd hide and wait until it dies of old age.

Well those Tiger killing knives must be effective in the 'hundred acre wood' because as Tiger says in his song ...... 'I'm the only one'

...and there's me thinking it was loss of habitat that was the cause of dwindling Tiger populations.

When I was a little 'un, I was fascinated by Sandokan, the tiger slayer and banned aristocrat or outlaw pirate? Just as descibed by Mark; the ritual of killing the beast consisted of the tiger and Sandokan both taking an enormous leap towards each other where Sandokan would leap a bit lower than the beast in order to divide its belly into halves. Did we ever see the guts falling out like in the first Star Wars movie? Can't remember

I do remember vividly that Sandokan had too much make up, especially the black lines under his eyes and I really think the knife he used was more like a kukuri though than like a keris.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Ernst
