Stop relocation of Tigress from Tadoba Tiger Reserve!
Sign Now
There are distressing reports within the NGO network of a plan to relocate a tigress from the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve into a zoo and even kill the animal, following attacks on a number of residents in the area.
By all accounts, the tigress in question has an unblemished record so far and it clearly seems to be a case of a protective mother doing all she can to protect her cubs from humans who are intent on bending the rules. In these circumstances, is it correct to punish the animal for a crime commited by man?
It has been clearly established that all the people who were attacked and killed broke the rules laid down by the forest department. In the latest incident, the lady who was attacked had gone into a protected area to illegaly take out wood when she was attacked. It must also be taken into account that the tigress in question has cubs of a young age and it is well known that a tigress is most aggressive when she is with her cubs.
The particular tigress in question has a reputation of being one of the most devoted and most succesful mothers of all adult tigresses in TATR which makes the plan to eliminate the animal even more distressing.
The situation of man-animal conflict needs resolution and we are open to suggestions on how to resolve these conflicts. But should the dice always be loaded against the animal?
I would request a rethink on the plan to eliminate or otherwise remove the tiger from the TATR and into an unnatural habitat.

i feel that any an act done in self defence is not an offence, on the ground of self help if the tigeress has injured anybody (due to people`s provocation) is not any offence. So, Help the animal in danger.

Allowing people ingress into tiger habitat and then blaming the tiger for trying to protect its habitat is wrong. This one is a tigress with cubs and is surely not going to take, what to her seems, threatening behaviour and activity in their vicinity kind

I think this is very unfair. It is about time we act rationally and show some consideration towards animals. They have right to be there more than us.

This is simply outrageous. A safe haven is created for animals to enjoy their natural habitat, not for anyone to invade their privacy for their own illegal means. Illegal action from human beings should not be the reason to re-locate/kill an animal. I str
