Saving India’s last wild cat species: the TIGER is one of the major aspects running in the blood of nature lovers and the protectors.
Hunting is a sport of pursuing and killing wild animals in order to provide food, or simply for the thrill of the chase, or for the enjoyment of outdoor life. People have been hunting since prehistoric times to provide themselves and their families with food, fur and leather clothing, and hides for shelter. Because of its challenge and pleasure as a sport, however, hunting has remained a popular activity even in modern times.
The British in India saw large animals as signs of a wild, primitive and savage society. They believed that be killing dangerous animals the British would civilize India. They gave rewards for the killing of tigers, wolves and other large animals on the grounds that they posed a threat to cultivators.
Over 80,000 TIGERS were killed for reward in the period 1857-1925. Gradually, the tiger came to be seen as a sporting trophy. The Maharaja of Sarguja alone shot 1,157 tigers up to 1957.
But coming to the point as it states, we may think it’s just save tigers. Those who say so are wrong. We should not assume complete satisfaction to the tiger that its life is in safe hands.
Notice people who have to leave their houses or better HOMES due to certain circumstances? They do look back to gain a sight of their homes. They recall the time they were in their home. Their minds are satisfied when they go back to stay there once again. But what if they are displaced permanently? It would take years for them to start going about their hobbies and breathe the air of HOME, because it’s a long way for the new house to become a true home.
The same thing for TIGERS.
Hence we should also look out towards protecting tigers and their wild habitat. Follow the instruction given in the specially designed picture shown below:
