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 have not seen this thread before and I enjoyed reading the heated debate.
First I would like to pay my respect to the fallen forest guard and his loved ones left behind, despite my love for tigers and all other animals human life remains more precious and humans are above all.
Sentencing a tiger to a life of captivity is better than to euthanize it, we put dogs down every day for attacking humans, so removing a known man killer or man-eater from an area is not out of the ordinary but maybe translocating the animal to an area with less tourism is an option, a lioness that killed a forest guard in Tarangire NP in Tanzania was translocated to another park versus keeping her in a zoo.
It is a sad end to Ustaad there are less than 1000 adult male tigers in the world now and they are all precious but human life should remain a red line.
