3 tigers found dead in Corbett area in a week, probe
indicates 'revenge killing'

Seven tigers have been reported dead in Uttarakhand this
year, three of them in the renowned Corbett Tiger Reserve
(CTR) and its adjoining areas just in the last one week.
Highly placed sources said the three CTR animals may have
been poisoned or become victims of "revenge killing" as
preliminary investigations indicated the deaths were not
due to natural causes and poaching also does not appear
to be the motive as the bodies are intact.
While the mutilated body of one tiger was found inside
CTR on June 1, the carcasses of two tigers were recovered
from the area under the Tarai West Forest Division on May
27 and May 29.
Forest officials are yet to get the complete post-mortem
reports to ascertain the reason behind the three deaths.
"They can't be cases of natural deaths," CTR director
Samir Sinha told The Indian Express without elaborating.
Sources said that there was an increase in the number of
tigers in CTR and they might have attacked children or
cattle in the nearby areas leading to the villagers
poisoning them.
State forest department officials said the state
government had asked CTR officials to send samples of the
carcasses to the Indian Veterinary Research Institute,
Bareilly, and the Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, to
conclusively establish the cause of death.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority had earlier
this year framed a set of standard operating procedures
on man-tiger conflicts, specifying that a tiger that may
have strayed into human habitation must be guided back,
and if necessary, immobilised and radio-collared.
The SOPs especially warn against panic and law and order
problems in these areas and call on the district
administration to ensure that affected people do not
attempt to poison the animal.
