A 66-year-old man, Norman Buwalda, is killed after being mauled by his pet tiger, according to reports. The tiger is described as the same animal he had kept despite legal challenges. Both outlets say Buwalda had fought a legal battle for about two years to retain the tiger, taking his case to the courts. After the dispute, he still ends up with the tiger, which later attacks and fatally injures him. The reports describe the death as gruesome and present it as a culmination of the prior court conflict over keeping the animal. Details about the circumstances leading up to the attack and any investigation are not provided in the supplied summaries, but both sources frame the fatal incident as directly involving the tiger Buwalda sought to keep. The accounts focus on the connection between the court case and the death, offering no differing claims about who the man is or that the tiger was the same one involved in the legal proceedings.
