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.

Yes, and so what ? Should they be killed ?
A man-eater tiger is very often a tiger which is disturbed by some humans that are encroaching on its territory. If every precaution is not taken, an error can happen very quickly and that's the tragedy. An tiger reacts as an tiger, it isn't an "human killer", let them be tigers and let us consider them as tigers. But don't let us give to them an opportunity to behave as an aggressive tiger against us, of course...
I read a very interesting article about the Sunderban a long time ago. That's a region which is engorged of water, salt water and the tigers being unable to mark efficiently their territories would be more aggressive than everywhere else. Perhaps too, walking in this region would require even more caution.
