Probably humans, given they went from 100k to 5.6k in population in 100 years and are still in decline.

That's not long enough to evolve something like this, though.

Even arrows or spears wouldn’t have been long enough to develop such a trait. And with those tools, still I don’t think Tiger would have been a primary target for humans. Seems like for most societies felines and canines were just not things we eat. Though maybe hunted for the pelt? In which case maybe they do eat the meat?

Also statistically (since we're talking evolution) it wouldn't help much against humans, we've got good vision and intellect, the chances to fool us enough times for this adaptation to arise are slim.
