Its very sad, but lets flip the script.

Ask the Tigers family how they feel about the constant bombardment of humans on their territory, harrassing them, blocking them in, how do they feel now that their Guardian is gone, how will the mother feel if the cubs are killed?

We have a voice, we use it, they don't so in turn, we get the only say.
Why not explain the fact that Ustad has been tranq'd numerous times, collarred, harassed?
He is not a family dog, he is the ruler of the Jungle, I feel very sad for the forest guards and families but that is a risk they take doing the job they do.
Tigers are not domestic, lions are not domestic, they are WILD, they behave as such. We don't like their behavior, we remove them?

How many tigers have we killed? Where is the uproar for all the Tiger murderers, where is the imprisonment of all the Legal hunters, where is the $, Time and energy vested in tiger protection compared to human protection?

Maybe Ustad Had to go, maybe he was becomming a man killer, maybe he only targeted Forest Dep't officials, all of this is uncertain.
What is certain is that the most infamous man killer in Ranth, was captured, collared, tranq'd and constantly harrassed for his life. Did we drive him to this or was he a black sheep?
Until we look at what we're doing to them, we don't have the right to pass judgement unless we do it on ourselves as well.

A side note, Ustad is now being moved to a public viewing Zoo so the India Gov't can now make money on this "man killer"
Odd to see how that worked out [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]



 

If if wasnt for the tranquilizing and providing assistance, T24 wouldve died a few months back from his infections. There is no denying that Ranthambore forest officials pampered him and gave him multiple chances (dumb move, they shouldve sent him to the zoo after the first kill). T24 lost his fear of humans and in my book. A tiger like that cannot be roaming around in public. specially not around tourists. Unless you have a death wish, sure.
