There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
It breaks my heart to see Ustaad in the tiny enclosure but theres no way, he's ever going back to the wild. people that want him out in the wild are being arrogant. if he has killed in the past, he will kill again and thats the bottom line. I researched everything leading up to this point and it would seem that humans are 99.9% at fault for this, blame also goes to Park officials for not enforcing proper rules. Hundreds of people risk their lives to go the temples within T24's territory. that's clearly tresspassing his territory and tigers are very territorial animals. Given the circumstances. If similar things were to happen in Kanha, Bandhavgarh etc etc. Im sure the tigers down there wouldve reacted the same way. Its unfortunate that T24 paid a heavy price for killing someone in his home turf. This time however, it was a human again and although i side with T24. On a professional level, a tiger that has killed 4 humans in the past. Can and will possibly kill again. This is probably better than him being put down and labelled another man eater. I dont think T24 would ever classify as one, he is a man killer that killed people in his home turf but theres no actual proof of him acquiring the taste of human flesh. Nor did he ever eat any of his victims. This is a terrible loss for all the real tiger lovers. T24 legacy will carry on with Sultan's blood line and Sultan is probably the boldest youngster out there.
