Say No To Man-tiger Conflict!

Posted on May 29th, 2010 by Wildlife Luver, under Information.

Dr.SS.Bawaskar, my wildlife vet friend whohas beenwiththe Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth-owned city Zoo in NAGPUR (in INDIA) innovated an idea to end man-tiger conflict with a desi idea. Man-tiger conflict is on rise for the past few days due to surging sun as the tigers intruded into near by villages of NAGPUR for search of water. Last month a woman was mauled by a Ranmangli tigress.

A simple technique used by the forest authorities helped to stop the tigers entering the adjoining villages of forests.  As per the idea given by Dr.SS.Bawaskar, the forest authorities collected around 250ml of urine of three female tigers at the zoo in a plastic bottle and sprinkled at the places where they have noticed the tiger entry. This helped to prevent the intrusion for at least 10days. Againt they have sprinkled theurineof300l at weekly  intervals.

Although collection of urine is a cumbersome process, they managed to collect the urine from the floor of the tigers cage using disposable syringe of 20ml.

Hats off to the idea of DR.BAWASKAR!!! What an innovative way of wildlife conservation!

Euthanasia of Wild Boars Due To Swine Flu Fear

Posted on April 13th, 2009 by Wildlife Luver, under Information, Wildlife News.

The Iraq Government ordered the Baghdad Zoo officials to euthanise three wild boars. Wild boars were put into sleep by the Zoo authorities with hard heart. These 10-year-old wild boars in Baghdad were killed as a precautionary measure to thwart an outbreak of swine flu.

The wild boars were put into sleep in a humane way. This was being done “to break a barrier of fear” zoo visitors developed during the recent days due to the worldwide spread of swine fever.

These wild boars were tested for the presence of H1N1 virus (swine flu virus) prior to death and found to be negative for the epidemic disease of swine flu. This is again a selfish act of the human being. Human beings are leading a comfortable life at the cost of life of other living beings. Now, it is the time for PIGS…
