India's big cats in danger

> At the end of May of this year, the Indian government announced that 36 tigers had been poachedthus far in 2019. Just days later, a heartbreaking report that a tigress and her two cubs were poisoned by angry farmers near the famous Tadoba Tiger reserve, an all too common outcome of human-tiger conflict. 

> Weeks later a news report cabled in that three tigers and two leopards had been poached in Bhandara district in the northeast of the country. And we must keep in mind that these are only the reported cases, the carcasses that were found before poachers smuggled them through Nepal and into Tibet for the Chinese market, and before villagers cremated the poisoned remains of big cats before authorities were alerted to them.  Follow the link below for more on this worrying report.
