PS As for maneaters, it still happens today.

While at Bandhavgargh National Park on an early morning game drive, the local head ranger (whatever their title is there) mentioned to our guide that a young boy had been killed by a tiger just outside the park's boundaries.

It seems the story was, the boy had woken up prior to dawn and seeing a cow was missing had gone off to search for the cow in the forested area near his village. He came upon the cow, but unfortunately also upon a tiger which had killed it during the night and had been feeding on it. The tiger killed the boy.

Maybe not a maneating incident, instead an unfortunate accident where a human and a tiger meet at close quarters in a difficult situation. But very sad for the boy's family.

It also illustrates why the local population MUST ge value from the wildlife in terms of jobs, income, other benefits so they continue to protect the wildlife rather than wish the opposite.
