Trackers Kill Tiger in Ventura County
The decision by government trackers to use high-powered rifles instead of tranquilizer darts to bring down the elusive cat outraged animal rights activists. But state officials said they had no alternative but to shoot to kill, because the animal could have attacked or bolted onto a highway or into a public park nearby.
I agree with Tippi Hedren, though... They could have at least tried sedating it first with the big guns at the ready.
I just want them to string up whomever brought the cat to suburbia in the first place.
