Although tigers attacking humans is rare they sometimes occur. With the Asian human population increasing it is causing conflicts between tigers and humans. Some think the reason a tiger attacks a human is because they are sick or injured therefore making them unable to hunt their usual prey. Once the tiger has tasted human blood it is in all likelihood to kill again.
While man eating tigers are a rarity in most parts of Asia they are notorious in a place called Sunderbans. The Sunderbans is a 4,000 Square Mile river delta, located in Bangladesh, which is densely forested with trees. The forest is the homes for some 250 tigers. Although people do not live directly in the forest many enter to fish and collect firewood. The tigers then view them as a easy target to kill.
The people of Sunderbans have tried to use several methods to fight off the tiger attacks. One method being that of filling a human Dummy with car batteries, so when a tiger bites into the dummy it gets quite a shock therefore teaching the tiger not to attack human.
