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.

Situation is not better in India either. 

Amongst the tribals communities, there still are mass-hunts. This was originally a yearly ritual of the tribals, but now they come in cars even from far-off towns just to have fun... Joint Forest Management policy here usually has them go unpunished!

This was filmed by a worker from an NGO, Suvrajyoti Chatterjee, i think.





Last month, a tiger had wandered into Western Bengal from neighbouring province, after a hundred years absence in that region! FD was trying to track & tranq it prior to the madness, but failed. I was following the developments...
Engagement of most of their manpower in that, led to little effort being made to stop/check the killing.

Later on, yesterday, the 10-year-old male was injured by the mob of 10000 & was found dead later on. Autopsy found out that the 220kg tiger suffered a broken skull leading to haemorrhage in its brain.

I am really depressed right now.......  Disgusting

Hello @Rishi, just one question. Do you have the source, article or email for the confirmation of the weight of 220 kg of this tiger? As you know, any help will be excelent.

Greetings.

My original source was from the FB profile of one of the NGO workers, which isn't available anymore. But later on the measurement data were published in many media outlets.
