report on tigress avani shot dead many unanswered questions
Answers
The death of a tigress in her prime is always a tragedy, no matter the circumstances that surround it. T1, popularly known as Avni, was shot dead at 11.35 pm on Friday night. In the bigger picture, as I wrote earlier, T1 shot or captured alive was dead to conservation goals the day she was marked for removal from the wild. Her live capture, however, would have made all of us feel better- especially if she was not placed in a zoo but maintained in a secluded area far from human habitation like the facility available in Pench Tiger reserve. It would not, however, have made Avni feel any better as captivity would have created its own level of suffering and stress in her. A wild five-year-old tigress will not really adapt to captivity no matter how nice the cage. I have visited animals in rescue facilities years after they have been trapped, and the ferocity and anger and stress has always remained. It is a disturbing sight
I believe quite firmly that Avni, who is believed to have killed at least 13 villagers in Maharashtra in the last 2 years had to be removed, whether that meant tranquilisation or shooting. However, I also believe that if the Forest Department had been proactive with a proper management plan in place from the beginning, when the first person was killed, the entire outcome could have been very different and never gotten to this stage where the tigress had to be removed.
