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.
I just posted about Bandhavargh farmers who are also reimbursed for every cattle taken as well.
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.
