Tiger is all for the carving out of things, especially when it involves fresh bloody meat, chewy skin, juicy innards and dangling bones. Yummy. Tiger drools and gets misty-eyed just thinking about it.

But Tiger is not the least bit amused by people who encroach on its lush natural habitat to carve out land in the name of mankind, progress and a quick buck.
