Woman Fights Off Tiger with a Stick

By Kathleen Joyce, Fox News

An Indian woman bravely fought off a tiger with a stick last week after it attacked her goat.

Rupali Meshram, 23, was in her home in western Maharashtra state when she heard her goat cry. She ran outside to find a tiger targeting the goat for a snack, the BBC reported. The woman then took a stick and hit the tiger to fend it off.

The unhappy tiger focused his aggression on Meshram next, and attacked her. The woman’s mother, Jijabhai, pulled her daughter to safety in the house but was also subjected to the brawl as well.

Unfortunately, the goat did not survive the attack.

The two women were both injured in the fight. Meshram was injured on her head, legs, hands and waist, but is expected to make a full recovery. Jijabhai was struck by the tiger near her eye and is also expected to fully recover.
