Reports say that the authorities have succeeded in killing the man eater near the Kaziranga National Park. Another man-eater tiger that had claimed four lives in UP had met the same fate in Bakchula Forest in February this year.

Yet another tiger that had turned a man-eater in UP was fortunately tranquilised and sent to the Kishanpur Wildlife Santuary. That makes 3 incidents in the last two months alone.

Why are tigers turning into man-eaters? It requires no rocket science to figure this out. As long as man will continue to gobble up greedily habitats and resources meant for other species, there will be a backlash. The planet belongs as much to the other species as it does to us. We need to realise that we need the other species for our own survival. Without these animals, insects and birds our ecosystem will fail. That is what we need to understand. Shooting man-eaters is not the solution. Attacking the reason they turn into man-eaters is the only viable solution.
