Shoot at sight order for Man eater Tiger in Karnataka...

It's a frequent occurrence in my place which is surrounded by jungles. Fortunately for us, it has neither become man eater nor an animal eater. Our forest officers and the local tribals trapped and caged most of the tigers. Out of them one has been sent to a sanctuary nearby and the others were left in their natural habitats. Similarly snakes were caught and left in the forests.

The entire problem has cropped because of the shrinking and vanishing habitats of our animals. In the process we have endangered their lives and living and that of us!!

In this particular case many politicians and other powerful land mafias have encroached on the forest land and built guest houses therby driving away wild life.The villages have sprung up just to cater to these big wigs and their guest houses where most of these villagers work.The wild animals are striking back with a vengence ..

Same here. Land grabbers and illegal encroachments by mafia, I can understand. But how the actions of Tourism departments of the state, in a bid to build Safaris are unhesitatingly destroying the natural habitats can be justified? In this respect people and governments are equally responsible.

This is happening in Shiradi ghats , part of Western Ghhats as well where the so called eco tourism is gaining popularity.they destroy large trees and build resorts and call it eco tourism when all they do it destroy the eco balance between wild life and vegetation...

For every forest related activity, Environment ministry has to give a Clarence . What this ministry is for? Why this ministry look the other way? In its bid to boost the Tourism, tourism ministries of the states are committing irrevocable damage to the environment.

Now the environmentalists have taken the issue very seriously protesting and the government has been considering taking steps to put an end to any building being built there except a small dam against the river that flows there ...

Good to know that the government is considering steps to stop the rot. But these steps should be implemented effectively. They should not be "eyewash steps".

I don't blame the tiger really, it is the man';s fault that he has had to attack people. Man is the culprit here who first took away the tiger's habitat, then hid natural food, and now we are attacking the poor tiger itself! So grossly unfair! :sick:

Totally agree with that ! Today there was also a news item about 50 race horses owned by a bigwig starving and been rescued by an NGO group...However, the good news is that the Tiger has thankfully been captured and sent to the Mysore Zoo where it will be treated ...I am glad that they have had the sense to capture it rather than shoot it ! No doubt 4 people were killed by the tiger and the least the government can do is compensate their families ..

That's crux of the problem! Human greed has been making life so miserable for other beings of this planet. If this trend continues , rest assured, we would devour ourselves very soon!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

We have already started that process, taking away the food grown by our farmers for our people is imported while people in our country starve is nothing short of devouring ourselves. And our honourable minister for agriculture pushes for production of wine from foodgrains! Again, similar to cannibalism of the worst kind! :blink:

What about the plight of sugar cane growers in UP, the mill owners are not paying them for months and this is happening under a government of party which has dared to add 'Samajwadi' to its name. And Nero in Delhi is busy fiddling!!

Yes, that too, even in Maharashtra the sugarcane growers have been resorting massive and violent demonstrations for last so many days. Sugarcane factories (owned by politicians of course) are not paying fair prices to the farmers claiming that the factories are going bankrupt and now they are going to New Delhi to ask for a massive relief package despite the fact that the owners have stinking amounts of money. UP, Maharashtra, Bihar...everywhere it is the same old story! :sick:

I would say that all tigers are not man eater. They kill or injure humans badly. This tiger might be dangerous enough to make the government issue shoot at sight order.

True. But we should think why a wild animal like Tiger becomes a man eater? Tigers are by nature are not man eaters. They live by killing the other animals like deers and wild buffaloes. available in its habitat. Now,if the man destroys its habitat for building projects and hotels, where the poor tiger will go for its food ? Entering of a tiger in to the plains in search of its food is forcing it to become a man eater.

What I hate is the media reports about the capture where they speak as if a criminal has been ccaught ! They should use different terminologies when it comes to a wild animal, not spaek about it in those terms...The most dreaded man eater tiger finally caught !!~!
as if man eating is its profession...

Media believes in sensation and cheap thrills. Many of the News editors do not know the difference between News writing and Cinema wall poster writing.

Media has a role that is far more serious , since they can manipulate the public opinion to a great extent.When they talk of a wild animal as if it is a killer beast a criminal, people have a very negative opinion about it.It would have been better if they dealt with all aspects , as to why it happened and what role we human beings played in making it the beast, that it finally became...

Did he care a damn for being dubbed so? He could have charged back howling 'I ate men as I was hungry and being injured couldn't do otherwise but you beasts kill fellow people when your stomachs are full'!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Absolutely ! We humans are the worst kind of beasts ....I remember the case of a leopard which wandered into the city few years back and hid in the backyard of an empty house.It came out at night because it was hungry and attacked a dog when it was seen and the firest officials came and caught it and the cage was left in the compound of that house for an hour before they made arrangements to take it to the zoo.In the meantime, people who had gathered around there somehow managed to get close to the leopards cage and some of them threw stones, some of them poked it with sticks , one of the stick went straight into its eye and it was howling by the time the forest officials came.. Inspite of medical attention, the leopard died after a week because of infection .. :( :angry:

@Usha

I foresee a situation when these so-called animals would shame us with their superior practice of morality!!!!

I don't think that only search for food can make a tiger a man eater. This is a sort of mental disease. Animals may become crazy and start killing humans. Many a times I have heard that elephants have killed farmers and destroyed crops. This is craziness.

Unlike humans animals have a stronger ethical base. Even a vicious cobra will not harm a human being unless its provoked. We, out of greed invite the wrath of animals by robbing the habitats of the animals. If here is a reason for an animal to attack a human, its because of destroying its right. Nothing else.

With the rise of population and real estate and industry, we are cutting trees from jungles and encroaching the lands of animals, and they had to come to villages as their homes are shattered, in Odisha, the elephants problems is there as due to industry and cutting of trees, their homes and foods are now marginalized as a result of this they had to come to nearby villages for food and thus create havoc.

I agree, we can learn many lessons from the animals and even if they attack due to mental sickness , they need to be treated.Most of these attacks come when they wander into small villages because of lack of space and feel threatened when people make noise or is hungry! Even the so called man eater in Karnataka has only attacked the persons, and killed them , not eaten them, so this name maneater is wrong!

According to Jim Corbette a tiger turns into a man-eater after losing the natural ability to hunt resulting from serious injury or aging. Human hunters are hunting all the time in all seasons!! :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:
