Corbett shot maneaters and tigers for sport when there were many animals in India and they were cared for in wildlife preserves. The tiger hunt was usually a social affair with hunters going out on elephants to shoot driven tigers in something that resembled a driven pheasant shoot. In 1947 when India became independent thre were tens of thousands of tigers in the country, India also had leopards, the Asiatic cheetah etc. By 1956 the Asiatic cheetah was extinct, the tiger is probably well on the road to extinction now and so is a lot of other game.

It takes a second rate conservationist to make a name for himself by attacking someone with a big reputation because the press loves this kind of thing and that, perhaps, would have helped sell Johnsingh's book. Other than that, I doubt the book is really worth the paper that it is printed on.

Good hunting!
