Yep sad about the kids.

But the fact is India has too many people. People continually encroach into wildlife areas. Cutting reeds, grass fodder, wood, tending stock, etc. 1.2 billion people where the population of India. Bangladesh and Pakistan combined was 250 million a hundred or so years ago. 50 years ago. 600 million.

The wildlife of India is ultimately doomed.

I imagine one of those 50 are beaters? I wonder how many leopards will be killed?

Absolutely an Indian safari industry would be multi beneficial. Condition wildlife to mankind. Some fear is beneficial. Meat for locals. Employment for locals. Give value to locals from wildlife and they look after it. One might quadruple their incomes. Lots of money and Forex for the country. India could charge immense fees being a new and old location. Everyone would want to go.

Leopards can thrive in mixed settled areas. I had one walk past my tent outside of a National Park. The pug marks in the sand of the creek only a few metres away.

When locals poach all the game, the carnivores turn to stock animals and even humans. Or if injured or old, humans are easier prey. As all us devotees of Corbett know

But the inane, purile, moronic Indian press would go hysterical. "Killing animals! Endangered animals!". Those urban Indian shallow bitch mouthy female "journalists" would rave about it in their fake indignation.

Never will happen unless we have a dark age first.
