I understand that they are looking for the owners in order to bring up criminal charges. The Humane Society and PETA are also looking in to the Police action! It was bizarre!

What were their other options? Shoot the tranquilizer and then track it for 5-10 minutes, shooting to kill only if necessary? I'm not saying this is at all a silly option, but wondering what you expected them to do. We shouldn't pretend, though, that tigers are not dangerous.

People in that area have exotic animals as pets so this cat may have been more domesticated than a wild tiger. I was upset only because they took such drastic measures at first.

I hear it's pretty hard for a tiger to find work in India. I now envision a kind of net-gun that gets the cat all tangled up, allowing the heli to come in with the cage. Still, sounds like a pretty dangerous maneuver for the pilot. I dunno . . . I hear it’s pretty hard for a tiger to find work in India.
