I wonder if they were the slash-and-burn villagers who caused that haze?

Indonesians trapped up tree by Sumatran tigers

Several tigers have trapped five Indonesian men up a tree in a national park on Sumatra island, after mauling a sixth person to death, police say.
The group was attacked on Thursday after they accidentally killed a tiger cub. One man died while the others managed to flee up some branches.
Villagers had tried to rescue the men on Thursday but retreated when they saw at least four large Sumatran tigers circling around the base of the tree.
The group set up deer traps for food, but accidentally caught a tiger cub.
The injured animal drew nearby tigers who then pounced on the men and killed a 28-year-old only identified as David.
