I haven't seen any body on this forum discount the "human factor"

But that being said, I certainly don't agree with farmers setting up Poison traps for predators to eat then die or mass hunts after a predator attacks there cattle.
Like you said, i big domestic buffalo is to tempting to expect a predator not to take when the opportunity presents itself.

Even the video of Raja attacking the domestic cattle in Bandipur is said that those cattle were illegally being allowed to graze in that area where raja was attacking them, so I don't know.

If the farmers receive compensation fast, they won't kill. If they don't, they will. Simple.

Actually, not all cattle grazing is illegal. In the buffer area of a tiger reserve, some level of wood cutting and cattle grazing is allowed. If the cattle is killed inside the core area, where grazing is banned, they won't receive compensation.

Yes, and they said where the cattle where grazing was not allowed and they wouldn't be compensated.

If a big cat is protected, than any farmer who kills the big cat should be punished. Its the lack of gov't compensation that creates retribution, the big cat shouldn't be punished for the gov'ts lack of funds. IMO Reply
