Natural selection
Lion, tiger kill man at meat plant
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A lion and a tiger kept as exotic pets on the roof of a Mexican meat processing plant killed a man feeding them Monday, Mexican media said.
Caretaker Angel Aguilar, 56, was taking pieces of chicken to feed the two big cats when the lion swiped at him through the bars of its cage and pulled him inside, Reforma daily said. The tiger then joined in the attack.
Like the heading says: NATURAL SELECTION.
The label under the photo says: Stomach full, eyes closed, an Afrikaans saying normally uttered after a big meal.

The tiger knew what he wanted and it was not beef.

Four out of five Mexican tigers and Mexican lions prefer cabrito over pollo.

Makes sense; why would a large predator want chicken bits when there's some fresh long pig available?
