In summary:

* Protected forest sanctuary for big cats
* Monks ignored warnings from local officials about venturing too far in the forest
* A monk attacked and killed by a big cat

Definitely a highly avoidable death.

Kind of like going to a protected island to tell a group of primitive hunter/gatherers about "jesus" and getting your ass shot full of arrows, huh?  I bet the leopard was less interested in Buddha than the tribesmen were in jesus!

Score one for the leopards.

Famously, in the Jataka tales of Buddha's prior incarnations, in a prior incarnation, that man fed himself to a starving mother tiger.  Those values, are not Western.

Maybe we could send them all to North Sentinel Island, where the natives know how to deal with them.

Could we airdrop a big supply of arrows, first?

Yeah, I guess they need a lot of ammo, huh?

Does this qualify for a Darwin award?
I kind of feel like it Should.

35.  Could have had kids.  It doesn't count if you already have kids, IIRC.

Maybe the kids will learn from the bad example?  It happens on occasion.
