What the fuck? Who just poisons random wildlife on a sanctuary? Poaching I at least understand because there’s money involved. But this wasn’t done for any reason other than that someone wanted to kill these animals.
The article says they suspect that it was done by people who live within the boundaries of the sanctuary, since tigers will target their livestock or them directly.
Sad, but those are just people trying to survive. As much as I like tigers I’d kill one too if it was trying to eat me.
How many Indian men have you known?
Really sad. Realistically, though, environmental protection will always come second to human development. To stop human-wildllife conflict, the only solution is poverty alleviation, healthcare, education. India’s progress here is too slow but it’s definitely happening.
