India’s tiger killings highlight growing conflict between humans and wildlife
The controversial killings of two “man-eating” tigers in the space of a few days have led experts to warn of the growing threat of human-animal conflict in India. Villagers in northern India crushed a tiger to death with a tractor on Sunday, after it was accused of mauling a farmer. The killing took place inside an Uttar Pradesh wildlife reserve, making it a criminal offence under the Wildlife Protection Act. And two days earlier, the hunt for a legendary “man-eating” tigress known as “T-1” ended in national outcry after she was shot dead by the son of a famous professional tiger hunter. A minister in Narendra Modi’s BJP-led government called the shooting of T-1, who was blamed for the deaths of 13 villagers spanning a number of years, a “ghastly murder”. T-1 had been tracked by forest officials for two years, identifiable by her stripe patterns. Experts said that repeated failed attempts to capture her alive and move her out of … [Read more...] about India’s tiger killings highlight growing conflict between humans and wildlife

Outrage as extremely rare Sumatran tiger pregnant with two cubs is killed in pig trap
AN endangered tiger pregnant with two cubs was found dead in Indonesia after being caught in a pig trap. The four-year-old Sumatran tiger was found dead on Wednesday in a ravine in the Indonesian province of Riau, days after being caught the trap. The head of the local conservation agency, Suharyono, said the tiger was reportedly trapped earlier this week, escaped and was found dead about 150 metres (500 feet) from the trap. Part of the tiger’s snare wrapped around her body which consequently ruptured a kidney according to authorities. It was pregnant with a male and female cub. Suharyono, who only identifies himself by his first name, said a suspect from a village in the province of Riau who admitted to setting traps for pigs was arrested for questioning. He said: "We will cooperate with law-enforcement agencies for an investigation and to launch an operation against wild hunters and traps.” There are only about 400 Sumatran tigers left in the world, making them critically … [Read more...] about Outrage as extremely rare Sumatran tiger pregnant with two cubs is killed in pig trap
