I have stopped reading these articles for some time now. I have resigned to the fact that these magnificent animals are living in borrowed time only. I used to go for tiger census also at one time. I have seen them from very close quaters. Sad to say the root cause of this problem is same the ugly face of our politicians. People living around such parks get away with anything because they have voting power not the tiger. Rangers are beaten mercilessly if they stop these people entering the forest.If tigers kills one cow/buffalow you can rest assure that villages will kill ten tigers and will get away because the political leaders are with them. I feel privilage that I saw these tigers in wild but I cannot say this thing about the future genrations. SAD
