A big news is coming from India, Credit to @Vijay Rajan for this information



Please note, Bamera was tranquillized & sent to the Bahera enclosure located in Magdhi on the late afternoon of 2nd November. Although I got the news from my local sources on the same evening, you could perhaps check the Facebook timeline of Satyendra Tiwari for confirmation on the news.

Apparently, it seems that the Chief Wildlife Warden was left with no other option due to the immense pressure by the villagers of Thauni who were agitated with Bamera due to his frequent cattle kills. The fact that the Forest Department normally pays only around Rs.6,000 - 8,000 /- (nearly $100)per cow didn't suffice for the villagers since the market rate of Bulls used for plowing land are usually in the price range of Rs. 22,000 - 25,000 /-. (nearly $400)

Another one down. Reply
