Sacked, they should be a lot more than sacked. They should be tiger meat.

Of course, I hope the police officer learns his lesson and decides to actually help conserve the forest and the tigers.

Roseann and Gorilly, in the old days in the Russian Far East, people who committed crimes against nature or the gods would be sentenced to death by tying them to a tree and wait for "Amba" (the tiger) to kill them.

That was when shamanism was big in the region, before Christianity took over.
