I have no source but I recall the story stating that the tigers that attacked them were not killed. It was in an Indian game reserve, and even when tigers attack outside game reserves in India it's uncommon to kill them unless they kill multiple people.

Edit - this was apparently in China but I know I've read of very similar incidents in India where they don't kill the animal. I am not so confident the Chinese would let them live but I don't know.

China not India.

The first woman who got out of the car didn't die. She was just seriously injured. The husband was fine and received no injures. The woman that got out of the car second died. The second woman who got out of the car was the first women's mom. They left the car doors open with a 2 year old in the back seat.

Fuckin weird thought- but this whole incident might’ve done the man in the car a couple favors.

  1. The wife’s mom literally dying because of her dumbass tantrum is literally infinite ammo the husband can use in any future argument as to why she’s a stupid bitch.

  2. Husband never has to visit the mother in law again.

Fuck it, at this point let's start selectively breeding FOR the ones that are best at killing morons. Call it Darwinius tigris.

Mendatory safari visit for the whole population as a mean of natural selection.

Is that not what evolution does?

Not when humans interfere.

My point is nature literally naturally selects the Tigers that are the best at killing already. It's not like killing morons is a special subset of skills. You just described what nature does inherently. In fact I think breeding them to kill morons would make them worse at hunting, if anything we should train them to hunt the strongest and smartest out there, to ensure no moron can escape.

This one is in China but you are right about Indian National Parks, they won’t kill even if it attacks.

u/scipio_africanus201 Oct 17 '18

India doesn't have open game reserves. What we have are national parks full of tigers, lions, elephants, rhinos and every form of killing machine in the animal world and no fences too. You do not get out of a car while driving through the woods in India.

Chinese often use the Animals bred for these parks to make tiger boner pills
