Thanks for writing Mrudul.

It looks like everyone else can kill the Tiger except poachers as long as they are scientists, NGOs or Forest Department without the fear of persecution.

The sudden silence (after the Tigress's death) from all those who were involved in this operation irks me. Imagine if the same tiger had been killed by a passing truck or by a poacher, the same people would have made noise in Delhi, shot off telegrams to the PM and also run to various courts. This incident has no funding value any way!!

Who said the tigers are safe by closing highways? We should protect the tigers from our very own protectors.

As I write this, today's newspaper says one more tiger found dead in Bandipur side (which is actually across the river) where they captured the tigress in Kabini. We still do not know the reason for its death and we sincerely hope that the truth will come out after today's post mortem.
