(lol, looks like Gir lions are born to fight and die unlike any lion/animal/even organism on earth- Gujarat even know what is infighting?)

Looks like they did...Some photos of the dead cubs were released. Being killed by other lions during infighting or inter-pride fighting, is the commonest reason for death of cubs in congested & contested Gir proper.

Try not to make remarks without verifying the facts first. You made many before, the ones i asked about in post #576 to which you haven't presented any sources yet.

Here's Why Gir Lions May Never Leave Gujarat for MP

The relocation of lions to former/new habitats & ensuring a viable future of Asiatic lions, are completely different issues!

And while Gujarat is committing a punishable offence on the former ground, their latest efforts are in the right direction regarding the latter.

Moving few dozen lions won't solve any of the problems in Bruhad Gir. 
Even if the the relocation started during the '90s & Kuno-Palpur lion population had increased to 100 now, lion density outside Gir will still spiral out of control... urbanisation of the corridors will still go on... illegal lion shows will continue... if an unchecked epidemic can still end the Asiatic lions... etc.

Gujarat must think beyond peanuts & eyewashes of creating Safari-Parks, breeding some lions in Sakkarbaug zoo & calling it "Genepool enhancement".
They are finally taking some good first steps; like breeding natural prey, curbing of baiting & Barda translocation.
Not enough... but it's a start.

Important future objectives must include maintaining the corridors & patchy habitats, while enhancing the degraded scrubs/fallow lands to grasslands all over Greater-Gir. Reply
