Unprovoked

In a thoroughly Free World™ definition of an unprovoked attack, a Texan game hunter has been killed by a South African buffalo, despite his intentions towards the animal being no more than to shoot it dead and have his photograph taken grinning over its remains. He had as yet not even wounded the buffalo, so there was really no excuse for the pre-emptive charge. Apparently the South African Cape buffalo has a murderous and alien culture which results in several deaths among the people trying to kill it for fun every year, leading to a reputation more fearsome than any other species on the planet, including the great white shark, the salt-water crocodile, the king cobra and the gun-toting twit.
