Nasa was the bastardette of an educated Indian who was swept off his moccasins by the wife of a successful rancher. She had fed herself to the teeth on her husband's thin-lipped parochial ambition.

Brazilian cattle-raisers are glad when a tiger is killed. They prey on beeves. Few ranchers bother to hire tiger men and the state pays no bounties but any rancher will outfit a hunter with horses and food. The hunter's income then derives from the sale of skins ($40 each, f.o.b. the jungle) and live cubs ($400 each). Also there are plenty of puma...
