hunting for cows*
Harbin’s Siberian tiger park offers visitors the chance to not only see a big cat up close but also the option of paying to watch it feed on other live animals. At least it did about five years ago. I think one of the tigers was called Air Jordan for his/her ability to intercept chickens. Anyway, the price list for the animals is transcribed below. In retrospect, “cow” should really be “calf” and the duck seems way overpriced.
* “Hunting for cows” is not my line. Someone once used it to describe shooting down Scud missiles during the first Gulf War.
UPDATE: In 2005, some parks announced they weren’t going to do this anymore.
