    Even arrows or spears wouldn’t have been long enough to develop such a trait. And with those tools, still I don’t think Tiger would have been a primary target for humans. Seems like for most societies felines and canines were just not things we eat. Though maybe hunted for the pelt? In which case maybe they do eat the meat?

      Eating a tiger liver would probably kill you with Vitamin A poisoning, a particularly painful affliction.

      Easy to just avoid eating entirely, even if the rest of it is safe enough.
