Unless you want me to rebutal with the fact that the FD has nothing to do with conservation and they are a private party hired by the park. Same with the fact that the tigress absolutely died due to infection from wonds suffered by her collar.  Or how they used the collar to offer viewing to VP tourists and beat a tiger out of the tall grass and completely stressed the animal out.
So unlesss we want to continue this debate here as well, I dont think it should be posted here.

 

Why you are continuing this debate here? If you have respect for Peter and his topic, stop posting this type of comments here. You have already a place for that: http://wildfact.com/forum/topic-eyes-on-...65#pid6165

Thank you.

However, let's clarify:
* The people that actually worked with those tigers say that the tigress did not die from the radiocollar. This is interesting, as we can see that the early report that the tigress died in that way was probably incorrect (or false). We most be pragmatic, we are only reading about the event, none of us was actually there. It is unfair to blame someone without evidence.

* On the use of radiocollars for tourists. Well, that is a bad practice, but this doesn't mean that radiocollaring is bad, only that the people is using a useful tool in a bad way. Reply
