Vegetarian Star

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will star alongside each other in Darren Aronofsky’s film, The Tiger. According to Entertainment.ie, the movie will be the first the couple has starred in together since Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The Tiger centers around an animal rights activist who must save a village of people from a tiger who’s become accustomed to the taste of human flesh, a phenomena, according to Save The Tiger Fund, is rare.

Humans moving into areas where tigers inhabit and tigers that are too sick or injured to catch normal prey of wild pig, wild cattle and several species of deer are usually the causes of man-eating tigers’ behavior.

Unfortunately, once tigers kill and eat one human, they will usually continue to make humans prey. In Sundarbans, a 4,000 square mile area in India and Bangladesh, approximately 250 tigers live. Humans do not occupy the area, entering it occasionally for fishing or harvesting other supplies, due to the animals’ learned behavior of consuming them.

Interestingly, some humane ways of tackling the man-eating tiger problem in this region have been devised.

Dummy humans laced with electrical wiring and car batteries are set up, so that when a tiger tries to eat it, it’s shocked and learns not to in the future. Wearing a human face mask on the back of the head may also deter them, as it confuses the tigers that attack from behind.
