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.
the facebook groups were just horrible to witness, the so called macho wannabe photographers mocking the experts and other big names like Bittu Sahgal ji, Aditya Singh ji etc etc for not being sentimental and going ahead with the idea of a killer tiger to be put in a cage for the rest of his life. This situation is quiet similar to the times when Dr.Raghu Chundawat was wrongly labelled as the culprit behind the murders of Panna tigers, he was there to help. Despite the pressure from top corrupt officials and crime syndicates of poachers sending him death threats. If Dr.Valmik Thappar is reading this, I respect your courage to speak out. Personally when T24 claimed his 3rd victim in 2013, I knew in my head that it was going to happen and it certainly did. Now question for the fools, why should T24 be allowed to roam free in the jungle? Hes taken too many lives, sure 99.9% of the fault is human error..as it is often the case but the thing is. He is highly unpredictable and risking him around tourists would only make the situation worse. Its best to let go of your love and emotions and take this matter profesionally. lets remember T24 as one of the finest specimens of Ranthambore and let this go and im sure the family members that lost their loved ones to T24 would want the same for others. T24 is far too dangerous and unpredictable to be out there. The End.
