    1. Fucking asshole. That’s why the citizens need to keep in check the power of the authority ruling over them. Fuck monarchy.

      I saw a tiger skin hanging to dry once in a farmers yard in north Burma.

    3. As a species we were worse than we are today but there is still a very long and sad way ahead 🥲😔

      I mean, nobody wants to admit when they hunt ten metric tons of tigers.

      Seriously though, if you want to hunt tigers, use a spear and sword like a real man and be content with just one. This is wasteful and disgusting to noble beasts like tigers.

    5. Interesting passage from Juddhas wiki:

      ‘With Padma, he had between 30-40 kids to continue his dynasty. He named his favorite child Simran, “stewardess of garbage”.’

    6. I wonder what the death rate from tigers was in that period? With that amount of them the villagers must have been like hors d’oeuvres. Even today an average of 56 are killed by tigers each year in India. In Nepal it’s something like 15 a year.
