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.

Yes, it's a massive headache right now... the baiting. 
This is pretty regular around proper Gir, where tourists come. Incidents of hoteliers & farmers-turned-guides doing such stuff for attracting tourists, are all over the news. The was a time when this was rampant around Corbett TR but unlike this case it was being done by resort owners & canceling a few licenses stopped it easily.

These people buy old, sick (another fear-factor) animals cheap from poultries or slaughter houses or herders & present them to the local lion cubs. Lions & tigers are suckers for free meals. Within a few months, they get the drill & start expecting food, which usually leads to dead people at some point in he future. Chances are, that lioness never even learnt to hunt & lives solely on baits, it's practically a pet indeed. This is more common in areas with less feral cattle or forest patches with prey. This is how it started during her cubhood...




Worse thing is, legally they can only be arrested (non-bailable) & fined. So, In this kind of situation Indian police has to improvise & they gave these guys a sound thrashing. To have any chance of countering this we first need a legal amendment.
