Beauty and the Beast

The White Princess - Thats what I called her. I spent hours watching her... photographing her movements. Mesmerized by the beauty and grace radiated by these rare and endangered cats, I wrote:

Those Eyes as Blue as the Oceans,
The Whiteness as Pure as the Snow.
And the Love that lasts for Eternity,
I Miss You So.

This beauty was in the news yesterday. A rather shocking news. A mentally disturbed zoo worker had jumped into a moat at the tiger enclave and was subsequently mauled to death by the white tigers.

The beast within the beauty ? Or just the law of nature?

To be continued...

[After a few jugs of Tiger, couple of good old Sangria, a few moments of 'Rock Star' living and overnight thinking....(ya right!)....I found the answer.]
And here is the continuation...

Beautiful or ugly, black or white, tigers are wild animals. They are designed to kill. You intrude to their space, they will just do what they are built to do. They will hunt you down....and kill you. But if your intend is to kill yourself, like the chap who intentionally jumped into the zoo enclosure and provoked the already-in-captivity cats, please think again! There are better ways of doing it....please leave the poor tigers alone !

And ya, they are lovely. The White Princesses.
