Tigers have no nonviolence code. They are obligate carnivores. That means that any other large animal that pisses them off is a potential meal. Tigers and their ancestors have been the guardians of Asian forests for millions of years, and for the past few thousand have been fighting human incursions and destruction of most of their habitat. Several species have already perished.
Indonesian old-growth rainforest is falling every day, probably every minute. Tigers are among the few actually fighting to save it. It's good to see their struggle finally get some news coverage, and for a couple of the capitalist thugs who deforest Indonesia to finally get what's coming to 'em.
One thing I'll be doing on this blog is pointing out instances of nonhumans (especially those in the forests) fighting back and protecting their homes against human invaders. If you have any other examples contact me and maybe I'll compile a database of animal direct resistance.
Look for more episodes of Canopy Cooking to be released if Buck ever wants to come down and get online.
