We know of several tigers with large weight variation, with and without radiocollars, the best cases are the famous Sauraha male (M105) from Nepal and Dale (Pt20) from Russia. They in fact, increased its weight after radiocollaring them.

The point here is not to blame the method, but the people that employ it.

None of you have answer one important question, WHY those tigers are been radiocollared? As far I know, there is not a single scientific study about these tigers (Kanha, I guess) and not a single report about them.

The problem here is not the radiocollaring per se, but the people that employ it. Every process can be safe, as long as is carrying out by professionals. Even dynamite is safe and good if used correctly.

To blame radiocollars with no evidence is irresponsible, first you MOST know the answers of the questions that I established here:

1. Who is collaring these tigers?
2. Why they are been radiocollared?

There is anyone that actually know the answers?
 
 


 

I'll agree the Gabbar losing weight is a speculation. But him becoming skiddish towards humans is understandable after being "abducted" by them.
