Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 A rare bison that strayed from the Manas National park was killed by the villagers of Amguri,Kokrajjhar Dist.The people when questioned by the forest people pretended not to know about the animal that it was endangered. After it was killed some interested persons belonging to an NGO, tried to educate the people using the dead animal ,how important conservation was and many more ,but the animal was later away forcefully aand all ended in a hearty meal.The Divisional Forest Officer tried his best to save the animal,that was spotted after 2 decades in the area.The full grown beautiful animal of five to six years of age was on the run when a group of villagers(tribals) armed with bows and arrows went after it the moment they spotted it. After getting the information the forest officials immediately rushed to the spot to rescue the animal.The DFO ,said that ,with the villagers on hot pursuit,the bison was trappedin a pit and became a sitting duck for the attackers. The NGO ,when it tried to teach the villagers about the value of the animal as it was highly endangered. The villagers snated it for its meat and all the forest officials helplessly stood staring.Its funny that the forest officials could not save the carcas of a bison. How low will we go?
