Killing tigers to save them

[Guest guest]

I am totally against all forms of animal farming, including the farming of

wild tigers in order to protect them.

 

C.P.R. Environmental Education Centre has been working with the Kurumba

tribes of the Nilgiris, helping them to revive their traditional art of

drawing painting to make an income, rather than impinging on the forests. As

a result, the number of tigers in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve has gone up

according to the latest census.

 

We should save tigers and other wildlife by leaving their habitats alone and

developing skills / finding alternate work for the people who live there.

" Killing tigers " in order to save them is terribly cruel. No animal should

be caged and farmed, even if it means that we cannot save the species.

 

I have publicly disagreed with Sunita Narain on this issue. As for the Prime

Minister of India, he is not interested in any animal - he slept through

Valmik Thapar's presentation on the status of tigers at the meeting of the

National Wildlife Board.

 

AAPN should not be debating the issue of tiger farming - we should totally

opppose it.
