Dear Azam,

 

Was unable to get any details from the Telegraph link except that one

more tiger died.

 

When was this tiger rescued? In what condition? And how old was it?

 

Uninformed readers just seeing the headline may begin to feel that the

animal was better

off with the circus.

 

Regards

 

Chinny Krishna

Dear Dr. Chinny,

 

The animals were rescued in Kolkata from a circus (I dont remember the

exact name as of now). But since the WB Government was not having the

required funds so PETA-India helped them out with many cages to shift

the animals from the city to North bengal (jaldapara wildlife range)

where they were supposed to be rehabilitated before being released in

an area which was to be developed as a sactuary or a safe haven for

the 19 rescued tigers.

 

I went there to inspect the tigers on behalf of PETA- India and filed

a report which was pathetic as the tigers were just keps in a shed in

the very cages months after they were brought to the range.

 

Now I have not followed up on that for quite sometime as West Bengal

is not my resedent state and perhaps PETA- India knows more of it.

Will get back to you once I hear from them.

 

As far as the link goes, let me check if the link still is valid.

 

Regards,

 

Azam

Tigress dies from tuberculosis July 09, 2007 9:50 AM

 

Tigress dies due to tuberculosis at Circus Animal Rescue Centre

 

Statesman News Service

COOCH BEHAR, July 8: A female Royal Bengal tiger died apparently due

to tuberculosis at the Circus Animal Rescue Centre at Dakshin

Khayerbari in the Dooars last Friday, officials said here today.

Confirming the death, the state forest minister Mr Ananta Roy said

here today that the tigress was rescued from a circus and brought to

the Circus Animal Rehabilitation Centre at Dakshin Khayerbari. It died

of tuberculosis last Friday, he said.

It has been learnt that there were 18 Royal Bengal Tigers at the

Circus Animal Rescue Centre at Dakshin Khayerbari. Of them, four were

shifted to the Darjeeling Zoo and one died of tuberculosis in

February. The tigress that died last Friday was rescued from a circus

at Dunlop and shifted to the CARC at Dakshin Khayerbari.

The Circus Animal Rescue Centre was established near the Leopard

Rehabilitation Centre of Dakshin Khayerbari with the sole objective of

rehabilitating the animals rescued from circuses. The then forest

minister, Mr Jogesh Chandra Barman inaugurated the CARC on 5 November

2005.

It may be recalled that the Supreme Court has banned the use of Royal

Bengal tigers and lions in circuses.

The forest minister, Mr Roy, said that he would inform the chief

minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee about the tigress's death.

The minister said that the tigers rescued from circuses often contact

the tuberculosis disease because the circus owners offer them

inadequate diet.

He assured that the forest department would provide better medical

care to the sick tigers of the CARC.
