A tigress in India has been hunting humans there since December 29th. Her latest kill was February 10th. She is thought to be 4 years old, have killed at least 10 people, and hurt in one paw. It isn't known why she suddenly started hunting humans, but a human-hunting habit in tigers doesn't go away. Tigers have been freely roaming India since forever but have since then been threatened by poachers and hunters, so their numbers have dwindled. Even so, India still has the largest tiger population in the world. Conservationists and animal rights activists have tried to suggest tranquilizing the tiger and putting her on a conservation, but others want to kill her.
I think that because human hunting doesn't go away, they should try to tranquilize her and feed her animals, but if it doesn't work and she insists on eating humans, she should be put to sleep.
I agree, they should at least attempt to help her, but what needs to be done will be done if nescessary.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that so much time has passed for her to kill 10 people, and she still hasn't been caught.
