    The tiger population is on the rise unless we make enough food available to them they will come to mainland ad may disrupt life High time we develop food habitats for them. India's tiger population has risen due to project tiger

    Since these leopards attack and harm our Goumatas, it is the bounden duty of people belonging to HJV, BD, VHP and other such outfits to tackle this issue. I request the members of these organizations to get down down to the field and dispatch these deshadrohi animals to forced vanavasa.

    "sighting" harmless unless injured or attacked or have cubs close by. Got a call week back theres one spotted in our farm. They probably cover large distances & enter human habitat in search of easy meal such as dogs & calves & to give birth to cubs due to danger of predators to cubs in forests. Most of time they would be there everywhere and we wouldnt even know about it

    With so much of our wildlife in danger due to rampant encroachment and axing of their natural habitats by greedy humans, our masters are importing wild cats from distant lands spending crores of taxpayers money; what an irony Hegdeji??

    Asiatic Cheetahs similar to the ones in Iran were native species until they were hunted to extintion. They lost the race to be reintroduced in the past due to all attention to project tiger. Even American Bison was reintroduced after going extint & today roams their land in glory

    Are you trying to do jokes....pls inform forum before hand in advance so as to laugh all together. I dont know from where this type of character appears all of sudden. Already Dinosaurs disappeared from this earth a sad fact. We donot want to loose either Cheetah, Leopard, Jaguar which needed badly to preserve for our next generation people.

    Subodh mangalore ,sure ,for next generation,but in limited number.At present there are too many leopards in living vacanity .People self have no place to live.Leopards are already in Farangipet since some years and visiting even in Kodimane with cubs ,dogs are disappearing .so we have put lights out side of our houses during nights where they dont like to move in lights.Our neighbours dogs were also went without trace.When they attack children or people ,then its critical.Have to take care.Dogs from Mermajal were taken long back.
