Jim Corbetts books are outstanding and they will raise the hair on the back of your neck!!! Corbett is a national Hero in India and has a national park named after him!!

And to think that's only 500lbs of angry muscle,claw, and fang flying at you like Chuck Norris.

Hey I was going to post that!
I find it absolutely crazy that there is even an argument going on as to whether or not to kill an animal that has been proven to have killed 13 people. Why would you want that animal in a zoo to pass on its genetics??????

The story is full of crazy aspects. Now the hunt is underway but without the hunter.
Story: 5 elephants and 200 men in chase, T1 and cubs still elusive

The above story says the authorities might "re-invite" the famous hunter they at first recruited if capture efforts are unsuccessful.
Wondering what happened to Khan, I looked up this story:
Story: Tigress Hunt: Controversial Shooter Nawab Shafat Ali Khan Booted Out Of T1 Hunt

It would seem that due to newspaper controversy Kahn got disinvited, but he may yet be called back in if the 5 elephants, 200 personnel and "experts" with tranquilizers do not resolve the problem.
This isn't a hunt, it's a circus.

Heh. It's not just the U.S. which prefers media perception over reality and common sense.
Just read a book on him, it said in the last 4-500 years tigers killed about a half million people in India.

I can't imagine a tiger flying up over the elephant at me all teeth and claws and trying to swat it with a stick.
