Indonesians trapped up tree by snarling tigers

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia - Five Indonesian men remained trapped up a tree Sunday three days after being chased into its branches by Sumatran tigers who also mauled their friend to death, police said. Four of the snarling animals were still surrounding the base of the tree following their initial attack on Thursday, which they launched after the men accidentally killed a tiger cub. Humans and animals are increasingly coming into conflict in Indonesia - but in most cases, it is the animals who end up the losers.
