Some people are just bad people.  Or maybe just clueless.  I would imagine there's some overlap here with that whole butterfly incident a few years ago

On the fourth attempt (to capture the tiger), Lee and another officer waited for a tranquilizer team to come to the scene, but when the tiger lunged toward the officers, Lee fired five rounds, according to the report. The cat was dead by the time the team arrived.
 
And the result? Instead of blanket praise that a 26 hour tiger hunt was over, and no people were hurt, the poor guy gets lambasted

Following the shooting, the agency received so many angry e-mails and phone calls -- including at least five death threats -- that some employees were urged not to wear their uniforms for a week.
 
Geeze.  It's a tiger! A big, dangerous, on the loose, wild animal.  I don't care how pretty it is - it would've torn off your head without thinking twice.  Who would threaten death over a tiger? Or any animal?

Besides, I hear they make good steak. 

Here's my email for those wishing to send death threats.
