Vladimir Putin Saves TV Crew From Siberian Tiger
September 2, 2008 - 5:53pm — Binh Ngo
How many politicians can claim that they stood up against the West and stopped a charging Siberian tiger? The last time a prominent government official went out with a gun in his hands, his hunting partner got shot in the face.
According to Reuters, Russia's Prime Minister and former KGB agent Vladimir Putin was out with a group of wildlife experts to see a trapped Siberian tiger when it managed to escape from the trap and ran toward the TV crew nearby.
Putin managed to shoot and sedate the tiger with a tranquilizer gun.
"Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too," said a evening news presenter quoted by Reuters.

Talking about the article
Talking about the article Putin Saves.. and immediately he fired from a special gun which scientists use to immobilise animals then Putin helped measure its teeth and place a satellite tracking device around its neck.
Bravo for Mr. Putin of Russia...
By the way, actually My director in Taman Safari Indonesia Zoo, Tony Sumampau had also rescued our Sumatran tigers then they were released into Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. My director was not alone, they were many institution participating this rescue, they are Ministry of Forestry Indonesia, Artha Graha, ZSL (London's NGO) and also also Australia Zoo.
Before our endangered tigers were released into the jungle, they were been in medical health check up by zoo-vets from TamanSafari.
