A tiger slaughterhouse has been found in Kanchanaburi and is believed to be a source of tiger meat. It had been thought that rumors of Tiger-eating Men living in the jungle were just a myth. Private Tye talked to Loo Foa Gee a ninety year old resident of Kanchanaburi. He said that when he was a boy people told stories of Tiger-eaters, white men who had escaped from the Japanese railway and were living in the jungle off tiger meat. “We thought they were just trying to scare us and stop us from going to play in the opium poppy fields.” Foa Gee told Private Tye. “After all of Thailand's forest was cut down to grow maize, rumors of tiger-eaters stopped. We never imagined that they had moved into a temple.” Foa Gee also warned “It's said, once a man gets a taste for tiger meat he'll never eat anything else.”
