What a wuss! I was watching the animal planet, or one of those shows, some years back, and it showed Russian scientists, in waist deep snow, with long poles, and a noose, and ropes, in the Siberian forest capturing a "BIG" Siberian Tiger. None that were on camera had a gun! It takes really big bell clappers to catch a Siberian Tiger, the largest of the species, by using a long pole, and ropes. No thank you, I would prefer to catch them by trap, or tranquilizer darts, from the safety of a truck! Those tigers get up to over five hundred pounds. They are not a little kitty! There used to be a guy who played Tarzan, that lived in Loxahatchee, Fl. and he had a Tiger, and lion. He said that when one stepped on his foot, it was like a horse stepping on him. I say he had a Tiger. It got out one time, and he was trying to bring it back into his enclosure, when a neighbor, called the Sheriffs office, and they responded, in full force, but they stayed back, as he told them, if they would just keep their distance, he could get to the Tiger, and lead him back to his enclosure. Well he was about to get to the Tiger, when the Nit Wit, #$@!@%%$#@ news crew arrived in their helicoptor. He was waving them off, when they ignored him, and came in for close ups, and the Tiger turned and ran,...... towards a deputy, who in turn unloaded his AR.
