there should be shot to kill order for those who think lion as a pet dog and playing,teasing and hunting them...!!!

I didn't remember the countries names but there are some countries, which have the permit for the administrative forest officials to shoot poachers on sight in cases of poaching animals. Nevertheless its not possible in our country. Only one act, that is wildlife protection act of India can be applicable to arrest poachers but not any other severe punishments or actions. Even though some people are arrested, they roam freely with bail like nothing happened if they are upper grade people, example salman khan. Same applies to some common people sometimes.

Imagine, how can they shoot, for harassing animals like lions who came to the revenue land of the "people"(don't come under protection and only wildlife act can be used for SC-I protected animal in case of any conflict), in a country where people who shoot animals roam freely and laws are toys for politicians.

It is neither people's fault nor of the animals. It is fault of government, by not providing animals (lions) their home/natural habitat in this large scale by saying lion is a social animal (what? socilal animal means animals which are friendly with human? new definition? lol), lion is a peaceful and calm creature, they don't attack people, we are gujaratis and we coexisted with lions for many years. we love them. they love us. we also celebrate lion-people coexistence festival.

In a place, where 50-56% lion population outside the protected area in villages and farms, the conflict between animal and people is inevitable no matter how many cameras they place with drone surveillance. The main prey outside protected area is cattle, some people find eating their cattle angry even though they are compensated and some people feel threatened themselves of being attacked by lion someday (some people are adventurous to live with predators, but not all people are mentally unhealthy to live with a mega predator) and hence, people kill lions by poisoning and other things. In these days, even protected areas are not safe for animals (applicable all over the world) to live. but the corrupt govt say "lion is safe in Gujarat's villages and farms". They tried to stop relocation by calming down people in villages with cattle loss compensation and other words like lion is our pride and making it religious or caste thing.


Now, they are building thousands of kilometers fences around protected areas (what?? -_-) by "investing" crores of public money which might be helpful for other social uses and no guarantee that 300+100 crores money will be utilized or side tracked. is this the worlds biggest zoo or wildlife reserve? really these things are crazy.
