Question

Answer 1

George Yule was the British administrator who killed 400 tigers during his tenure in India

Answer 2

George Yule is the right answer.

Hunting or Shikar tigers and other animals have been a part of the culture of nobility and the court. This culture was adopted by the Britishers and they practiced hunting to a degree that many species became extinct. The British administrators often rewarded those who killed wild animals such as tigers and wolves, on the basis that they sat a peril to cultivators. The British government reserved some forests for this purpose and a British administrator George Yule himself killed four hundred tigers.
