Hi everyone... Days ago a tiger entered to a residential area in search of food (as deforestation is running on rapid speed and they have no shelter) to my nearest city. When he entered, people began to attack him and for his own safety, he jumped on humans, who tried to attack him. Thus one man died on his attack and people got angry with him but luckily we were able to save him from human attack again and send to zoo. So, my question is who is responsible for the death of that man? (photo is attached here along with that tiger). Is it the tiger or we human? Please think and reply..... Have a nice time ahead.

Because of us who have not maintained the ecological balance, slashing the forest for agricultural purposes, illegal loggings and mineral extractions, wildlife has become rare or worse extinct. Wildlife are dependent in the forest and since there is no more enough space and source for foods for them to cater their needs, what else should we expect aside from them to settle down in search for foods like a wretched tyrant?

Exactly, we are responsible as we dont maintain the biological balance on the earth and use our mother earth as it's only for ourself and there is no right to live for other animals. Industrialization and rapid speed of population are the main cause of deforestation and thats why sometimes we humans are being victim or animals. Have a nice time.

That is just another thing, Shibham. People in my village, the priveledged and the ones with high rank in the government are currently busy with the earth moving activities they are into right now. Yes, they are to blame.... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2616590.apx

I think all human are responsible. All problem related to balance in nature were caused by our inability to control our population. Human should realize that our population is overgrown. If our population is not as many as today, there won't be too much deforestation.

Good, population is the main cause and thats why we have to extend our residential area be deforestation and wild animals are homeless. So, they are bound to enter on the city, town in search of food and shelter. Have a nice time.

Deforestation is happening because supply and demand rule. It's not just about places for people to have a house, but it also about oil, coal, etc. and the single thing that cause of high demand in all of that is overpopulation. Imagine if population of human only 100.000 do you think we need that much oil, coal, house etc? I think some of us have to make a hard decision by choosing not to have a kid. That way we can decrease human population in the future. cheers...

Hi Surfer, Actually, if people are just disciplined enough, there wouldn't be such cases or even less. Population-boom will just be a single factor to be counted off

We humans are responsible for all the ills that have affected the earth and life on it.Wild animals were here on earth long before humans were created and they are the rightful owners.But when humans came here they started killing them and then destroying the spaces which animals had occupied over centuries.Now with the human race growing rapidly and requiring more and more land te forest cover has virtually been destroyed and so the human-animal conflict has started.Animals are finding very little prey and they have started entering human habitation and so and finding humans easy prey.Naturally people are taking it out on the animals who are innocent.Measures should have been taken long ago to control deforestation and see that animals are not deprived of their natural needs.I blame the governments for their narrow vision and callousness rather than the animals.It is almost too late to solve the problem.

I honestly blame the humans because sometimes if you just keep still and wait for the right help nobody will get hurt and you cant expect any other reaction from a wild animal. I cant blame the animal knowing that people attacked him and dont have consequences.

You know, wild animals although they are wild they never attack first if they dont feel danger around. when we see a wild on our area, we get mad and begin to shout and move first and thats why they attack for their own safety. Have a nice time.

Hi Shiby! Of course its human fault. We can't blame the tiger as it is innocent. It just do what it needs to do to protect itself and get in its habitat. it won't understand that it will bring harm to human. Blame the development process. I don't mean that I am against development but they should handle such thing out first before try to do anything to the wild creatures which live in the forest for all this while. This is what we need to pay for what we did.

Hi sister.. I know that but still wwe are continuing that and declaring proudly that we are humans. So stupid human we are and self centered. We are only concerned with ourselves and never think that god has created many more livings other than human. We are killing them and worshiping god time to time. God does not satisfied with such nature of human, is not it? Have a nice time.

I highly appreciate your faiths on animals. They are not fatal as us. They are more faithful than human but worse matter is that we dont understand that and run fast for an attack when we see a wild. right? Have a nice time.

yes i know is a reaction of the man, simply when a dog barks at us we got scared but attack an animal that is scared instead of let him go or let a professional do his job to catch the animal and protect it, is what i no longer seems.

well obviously tiger was on defense what will you do if you are outnumbered and cornered? deforestation everywhere has made animals come out that's why we shouldn't deforest more than we need and if possible just stop deforestation completely

Self defense is a basic instinct of every living beings. deforestation and population are the prime cause as i have also mentioned earlier. We are building our civilization and showing ourselves uncivilized most often. Have a nice time.

It was certainly not the animals fault. As the human race grows, they take more and more of the natural habitats that support animals. It is crazy to think that they will not sooner or later come into populated areas in search of food. Attacking the animal only triggers his instinct to protect himself..the same way we would if we were attacked. The difference is that he has teeth and claws.

Exactly, not his fault. As i have said above that self protection is a basic instinct of every living beings and we stupid men create a noisy situation and jump to attack that animal rather than thinking about future, so he will move fast and attack what ever he finds on his way. Have a nice time.

Humans are responsible as the tiger doesn´t know better and he has been deprived of his habitat. It is a pity that it had to be sent to a zoo instead of takin it back to the wild.

If we are depriving him from his residence, then we are obligated to suffer a lot. This is just starting, later on either people will be killed or animals at a rapid speed. Have a nice time.

It is us humans who are responsible for raising habitats so close to the jungle or the area where these tigers inhabit.We are going closer to the forests as we wish to exploit the forest resources.We are thus encroaching on territories where the tigers roam freely and as human settlements come up close to the forests,the tigers are bound to stray into our homes.Once we see the tiger in our house or habitat we tend to naturally panic and the wild animal thinking there is a danger to its existence will out of desperation pounce on the defenseless and unwary victim.Population control will decrease the pressure of more land for the landless and if we confine ourselves to areas far away from forests thereby restricting encroachment on the forest area.

Yes, here our hills are also covered by humans and they have to suffer from the attack and torture of monkeys most often. In some areas you cant keep anything uncovered. Just read that yesterday also same case happened and good luck was that no injuries found. Yeah, i have already cited that. we often think that the wild will attack us where as its impossible from his instinct if he does not found danger around. rapid speed of population is also a prime cause. Have a nice time.

Hi mamu Whatever, I am not going to be responding what you need me to I would only suggest - we should teach those wild animals, frame laws that will protect us and also create something like HETA (well, this is Murder and Murder is a crime...). Book the tiger under section CRPCS 302, and then... HANG HIM Seriously - Do you think If like all others I blame humans and myself for this - it will all end? NO! And the worst, I will keep blaming myself. I dont want to. Have a great day :)

Honestly I think it's a little of both. One of the biggest problems in this world today is that forests are being depleted of it's trees for wood & other things that humans manufacture. No one stops to think how this effects the animals that live in those forests. Where are they supposed to live if not in the forest? If there is no vegetation what are they supposed to eat? Humans today think they can do what they want when they want without consequences, but this is just another example that that's not true. The instinct of this tiger was to search for food. He was hungry that's all he knew. It's unfortunate & a shame what happen to these people, but I think we need to put the blame where it belongs & that's not really with the tiger.

And there is a news on todays newspaper about another attack on that city by a tiger. Just read. We are deforesting not only for wood but also for industrialization and other purposes. Here east west corridor is under construction and for only this cause many tress have been cut down. Surely the tiger came to the residential area in search of food and there is no doubt as we are lessening their foods. Have a nice time.

Human beings are always quilty if animals attack. Human being live where they should not live, they take away the places of the animals (and their food) and find it normal. They also find it normal to attack animals instead of let them live in peace. Who can blame any animal for defending itself? Sorry to say but if you are so stupid to attack a tiger, if you think you are god you should not be surprised to be killed. No pity for the human beings in this case.

Hi kitty... Yes, thats the cause. even i have seen some elephants try to walk over the railway track and got crashed by train. Its an usual scenario of here. Its human instincts that they always try to kill a wild animal rather than catch him and leave in jungle. Nope, we saved the tiger from people's attack and i am not to attack a wild beings at any cost. have a nice time.

Hi Shibham, None is responsible, neither resident nor the tiger. The responsibilities can't thrust upon the people in general living in forest adjacent areas. Everyone was afraid to save his/her won life. The tiger attacked that man to save its own life not for prey. The basic question arise again that are the wild lives safe in the existing forest area? The answer is 'NO'. We often forget that afforestation is also urgent require with the growing population. Main responsibility goes to the government of a state/country to take a fruitful and effective project for safety of wild lives and implement all these in proper way with the active involvement of the local people. Many steps have been initiate but lack of proper initiative, planing and positive intention all go in vain. Actually we live is such a selfish world where no time for thinking the wild animals at all. I respect your feelings for the wild animal. Thanks a lot.

We Human being are responsible for such deaths. We are destroying our earth. We are playing with nature.The Human is not destroyed earth in 1000 years as much as we destroyed in last 10 year. The result is that Animals are trying to make new place and they entering into civilian area.

Beasts are beasts. If they are not provoked they do no harm to human. The slightest provocation will see no mercy on human life and will pounce on the nearest target on sight. Unfortunately, this innocent man become its prey as a way to retaliate from being ambushed.

If asked, who is responsible. Very difficult to say. All happen, because the imbalance. Tigers looking for food up to people's houses, because they do not find food in their homes. All occurred, due to several factors. One is by humans.

I would solely blame human beings and the wild life officers (goverment) in charge. I think we have destroyed the environment to the extent that, there is no place left for animals to live. On the other hand, the government had to make sure that animals are well kept and caged in a way that they cannot be a threat to the community.

Hi Mashnn.... There are some worse officers who even dont know how to treat wildlife.. We have been destroying their locality, so its our punishment and moreover wildlife is not to be caged its to let be free but we have not enough forests and thats why they are bound to change locality. have a nice time.
