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.
They do offer compensation, these men are standing trial as we speak. They broke the law and will pay for it.
This isn't the first time its happened, this actually happens quite often, just look at the rapid decline of the vultures there, it decimates the eco system. Carcasses pile up in the rivers, bacteria infects the waters which are drank from by the locals and in turn they get sick as well. A lot of time these cows wander in to protected lion habitat as well and the fact that any action is taken against an apex predator that is only trying to squeak out a living in a ever changing habitat is appalling. Its equally as disturbing to me, the gov't needs to compensate efficiently and the villagers need to be patient and go about the right course to be compensated.
It's just a crappy situation for both sides. But it looks as though its getting better, like we see else where. This is a process, change doesn't happen over night, but its happening, I truly believe that.
