Woman vs Tiger=A Win for Humans?

Posted by 4Drea on February 22, 2011 at 10:41am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

A woman rescued her husband from a tiger attack by hitting the beast over the head with a soup ladle.

The big cat pounced on Tambun Dedin while he was hunting squirrels near his home in northern Malaysia.

Luckily for the rodent catcher his 55-year-old wife Han Besau heard his screams and ran to his rescue.

Armed with just a wooden spoon she had been using to cook soup, she bashed the tiger over the head, causing it to flee.

Speaking from hospital where he was being treated for cuts Tambun paid tribute to his brave wife.

He said: "I was terrified and I used all my strength to punch the animal in the face, but it would not budge."

Tambun explained he had tried to climb a tree to try to escape but the tiger had dragged him down.

He added: "I had to wrestle with it to keep its jaws away from me, and it would have clawed me to death if my wife had not arrived."

 

Local wildlife officials said rangers planned to track down the tiger and chase it deeper into the jungle where it would not pose a threat to people.

 

Ha... haha... I will remember that. Soup ladles... XD they should have that a weapon for Left for Dead3 with the frying pan! Along with zombie tigers! O.o

    Wow, world's most efficient weapon is the soup ladle. That makes us look like extremely sophisticated beings.

    Where do those people live if there are just tigers randomly stalking and walking around? I would be afraid to go outside. Thats a pretty amazing story though.

    That's something I would expect to see in a cartoon, not real life! Someone just coming up behing a tiger, smacking it in the head with a soup ladle, and it actually backing off! Never in my life would I have thought of that one!

    That would have been funny to see! Just the fact of a soup ladle cracks me up. But atleast she saved her husband.
