Fuck it. By formal Martian Imperial Proclamation, I'm declaring April 19, the anniversary of this death, to be Bitey Saints Day.
We will celebrate the lives of St. Champawat, St. Thak the Man-Eater, and the Saints of Chowgarh.
There will be steak and jingly things and great big cardboard boxes. All are invited. ESPECIALLY the humans. BYOBBQsauce. 😼

Also, note that at least two of those "man-eaters" resorted to preying on humans... because they were severely wounded by humans with guns and could no longer fend for themselves.
What goes around, comes around, Terran motherfuckers. 😾
