The incident was probably an inadverdent mishap that just happened to render poetic justice. Sort of like the Mouse Fire story (whose truth is undetermined) that made the rounds a few years ago.
Not so in the case of one Siberian tiger in a story that took place some decades ago. The tiger, who had no prior history of attacking humans, was being stalked by a poacher, who on one occasion got a shot at the tiger. The tiger was injured but escaped alive. Having caught sight and scent of the poacher, the tiger then tracked down where he slept, and when the poacher next returned, the tiger attacked and killed him. This left a conservation organization who had also been monitoring the tiger in a bit of a quandary as to whether this tiger should now be treated as a "man killer".
