    So you mate shoots a wild tiger in the bush in Australia and the first we hear of it is on the AULRO Forum. Boy what a scoop! Ask him which Zoo. I wouldn't mind following this up.

    All he'd say on that issue for now is that it was "a zoon on the coast" [of Qld].

    It's confirmed as a tiger by people who are qualified to do so.


    The question is how the.... ?

    I'd always dismissed tales of big cats in the aussie bush a fairy tales - you know - mysterious panthers who could go in and out of focus when confronted by a camera, and those who shot them "burid the head and lost the body" that sort of rubbish...

    But Scott has the head to show for it !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Is there such thing as world wide protection? Don't think you would find any animal protection legislation covering animals that don't exist in a particular country. But just in case I shall be careful of any white rhino that strays across my sights next time I take aim at a rabbit.

    While I retain a level of scepticism, I wouldnt be surprised for this to be the real deal either.

    It was only around 2009/10 that a pig shooter in the NT shot and killed a Pygmy Hippopotumus, mistaking it for a pig.

    cheers

    Well, I have seen a Black panther--see an older AULRO thread on this. Yes someone may have had this tiger as a illegal pet which escaped/was let go.

    I always take extreme care not to shoot midget white rhinos under those conditions. Good advice.

    I don't think he's too keen to share this yet.
