Wildlife habitat needs protection

The recent call by the Mentri Besar of Kelantan to enlist the help of the army

to destroy all tigers in the state is a serious matter.

Has it ever crossed our minds that humans have been slowly encroaching upon

their habitat through unscrupulous logging, among other land-related acquisition

activities?

Is it any wonder then why the tigers are “retaliating & #8217; & #8217; against

human incursions?

We should, instead, be in the forefront supporting land conservation to keep

our wildlife in better balance with their forest habitat and their source of

food.

Better wildlife management plans must be vigorously implemented.

These animals were originally there and they are a precious gift to mankind,

which should be respected and cherished.

Taking away their land is showing an irresponsible, couldn & #8217;t-care-less

attitude.

Every animal we take away from the natural habitat would destroy our world and

lessen what we have for the next generation. Just like any other animal, they

have the right to roam freely.

It is wrong to consider only our needs as humans and to brush aside the welfare

of our fellow species.

They have done nothing to deserve such treatment from humans.

We have to learn that there are more important considerations other than only

human interests.

Habitat protection must be strengthened.

Our tigers require large blocks of unfragmented and undeveloped wild land to

survive.

Human activities have reduced their ability to forage and this has increased

their chances of conflict with humans.
