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.
Sad to see, but its natural.
We all know how you feel about collars compared to me, but this is another example of what the collars do to a tigers mental state. Some tigers can handle it better than others, some turn aggressive towards man, some become shy, and some it really doesn't seem to affect. But it is obviously a bad and irresponisible practice since there is proof right there with Gabbar, who immediately became shy and elusive, skinny and lost his territory and possibly his life with in 6-9 months after being collared. This story is all to common and nothing new. Collaring is a pointless practice and serves up no info that camera traps couldn't provide.
