Bus Driver Eaten by Siberian Tiger
A bus driver running a tourbus through a Chinese nature reserve got out to check the bus when it got stuck in the snow. Passengers watched in horror and amusement when the driver was gobbled by a huge Siberian Tiger.
From Fox here:
A rare Siberian tiger attacked and killed a tour bus driver in northern China while the man’s horrified passengers watched.
The tiger pounced on driver Jin Shijun and dragged him into the forest after he got out to check on his bus, which was stuck in the snow at the world’s largest Siberian tiger breeding base.
The bus was full of tourists visiting the breeding center, and Jin broke safety guidelines by leaving the vehicle. Park employees tried to distract the tiger with firecrackers and tranquilizer darts, but when they managed to get to Jin, the driver was already dead.
China has a despicable animal treatment history. See here, here and here. Those thousand tigers are likely only there so they can be harvested for huge profits to allow visitors to dine on tiger penis. Just nice to see a tiger dine on Chinese food for a change. Reports go on to say the tiger was hungry again 30 minutes later.
NOM NOM NOM!!! Pass the soy sauce!
Pat, I ashamed to have to tell you that I’m going to borrow that last joke for my FB page. It’s irresistable.
