The Indian baby boy was taken away, and the mother broke open the tiger's mouth to save the son
On September 4, in Rohania, a 25-year-old young man who is currently taking his son for a walk in a field near his home, it was supposed to be a normal and pleasant day, but the grass suddenly made a noise, and a black shadow jumped out, changing the day of the mother and son.
A tiger took aim at his son, jumped in front of him in an instant, bit his son's head with a powerful jaw, and then began to turn his head and run. Archana was almost about to collapse at the moment, especially when she saw that the tiger's fangs had pierced her son's head, she couldn't care about anything, the mother overwhelmed the rationality, directly rushed out to catch up with the tiger, regardless of the tiger's claw attack, directly broke its mouth, and the son fell to the ground.
The tiger was also embarrassed and angry at this time, and launched an attack on Archana, she ignored the tiger's various attacks, and hit the tiger's face hard, the sound of the fight and the cries of her son attracted the surrounding villagers, the villagers took the sticks to drive the tiger away, and then immediately took the mother and son to the hospital.
Fortunately, her son only had his scalp punctured, but Archana's injury was very serious, her lungs were punctured by the claws of the tiger, her neck was fractured, and her whole body was full of bites and scratches, which were still under emergency treatment, but it should not be life-threatening.
The local government said it had formed a team that was bound to catch the wounded tiger. But the populace did not eat it, and for many years they lived in the haze of beast attacks, and every few shortly there were people killed by wild beasts.
Villagers say that in addition to tigers, leopards, elephants have also entered their villages, destroying their crops. They live in areas close to forests and national parks, and animal conflicts are becoming their daily routine. Rapid urbanization is destroying natural habitats, forcing animals into villages and towns in search of prey and shelter.
The inability of the government to respond in a timely manner or to come up with satisfactory solutions has further exacerbated the clashes between humans and animals, as people take the initiative to attack wildlife.
Human-beast conflict in India
It has to be said that India's animal protection is really good, and their various protection measures have doubled the number of various wild animals in five years, but they have protected too much, and they have lost sight of each other, ignoring the safety of the people living on the edge of the protected area.
India is a vast country of about 1.4 billion people, about 3,000 tigers, 6,000 to 11,000 bears and about 27,000 wild elephants. A joint report by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) released in July 2021 concluded that "no country in the world will have as frequent bestial clashes as India in the coming years at short intervals." ” .
More than 60 tiger-related deaths have occurred in India's Pilibit region, near the border with Nepal, and kashmir, which is even more exaggerated, has killed nearly 200 animals in a decade, while people carry out "retaliatory killings" through poisoning and other means.
How to alleviate
In order to alleviate the conflict between wild animals and people, the Indian government initially only claimed to deal with animals that hurt people, but many times they were not solved, or they were really caught, but they were put back after a period of time, which led to animal attacks not being alleviated at all, but making people resentful and more dissatisfied with wild animals.
This discontent has reached its peak, and the Indian government has begun to work to curb the rise of conflicts between animals and humans.
They start by creating dozens of "elephant corridors" that securely connect elephants' natural habitats and reduce their straying into farmland or residential areas. The government also advised farmers to grow crops that elephants don't like to eat, such as peppers, lemons and ginger, and to dig trenches and set up alarm systems to warn people when elephants approach.
On the carnivores side, the wildlife department is planting fruit and forage trees in the jungle to attract herbivores. Hopefully, this will attract predators and make them less likely to venture into nearby villages.
postscript
These measures will certainly work, but I feel that it is not enough, because the main source of these animals entering human settlements is because of the loss of habitat.
To truly end the mutual attacks between animals and humans, emphasis should be placed on stopping the encroachment and deforestation of the jungle.
