It may not be out of place to quote only two points as contained in the Editorial of this fiercely independent newspaper:
"EDITORIAL
The Statesman Kolkata 24 August 2012
SC STANDS FIRM
After govt. abandons the tiger
.....................but it might be worth reminding them of the guts Indira Gandhi displayed when she, officially, slammed diplomats for misusing their immunity and going on illegal "shoots" in the vicinity of the Capital. That was the commitment underlying the 1972 legislation, the launch of initially-acclamied Project Tiger etc.
.......................
There are no two opinions that wildlife tourism can contribute to conservation, but just about everyone not involved in the trade is aware of the irresponsible manner in which it functions.
