The Pang Sida national park, in Thailand’s eastern province of Sa Kaeo, has launched a hunt for a tiger which has killed two buffaloes in the past week weeks.

 

The park’s chief, said today (Thursday) that three teams of trackers and hunters have been deployed, working with officials from the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Wildlife Research Centre, to patrol villages located close to the park in the search for the tiger, which may return to prey on domesticated animals.

 

He admitted that it is not unusual for wild animals, such as tigers, to stray out of their habitat in search for food because of the increase in their population, resulting in a fight for territory and sustenance.

What are these hunters going to do when they find the Tiger .... 

the Tiger must have been hungry , so you cannot really blame

the Tiger ,I just hope they are planning to kill it.

What's the tiger supposed to do!? It's a wild, carnivorous PREDATOR! This is its natural behaviour. If it was walking through villages killing children, then we should worry... although the tiger would still not be wrong in doing so.

Create the Ministry of Hungry Tiger Affairs and put a couple of ministers in charge. This would guarantee, that the tiger survives ........ Three teams - good luck!

Getting older so sometimes make mistakes, they should NOT kill the Tiger.

Tigers are far more important than buffaloes ! They should keep feeding it in the wild.

Why do you want them to kill it ? Not many left now due to human population growth.

That's what worries me : increase in their population, which is good, but  not enough place for their territory ans sustenance ; what will happen if there are more and more tigers ? 

 

The authorities should give them more space, expand the park, but is it possible ?

What happens if there are more tigers.. the tigers move into human territory as the wild parks are limited. Can they expand space, no space is getting less and less because of farmers encroaching on national parks. 

 

So it will end with death of tigers who stray into the human world.

Thankyou, yes indeed but not to Thai ladies who prefer buffaloes, especially the sick ones!!!

It seems like it is mostly older tigers that can not hunt in the wild any more resort to

killing livestock or dogs etc.

Maybe chased from the territory by a stronger one,they only come near people when there is no other choice.

I kind of thought that, having read many of your posts and like what you write.

I see many others have picked up on it - I agree, getting old is a real sh*t and I too make many mistakes.

Haha

Bear in mind there is a highly lucrative (Chinese) market for tiger genitalia.......and the entrepreneurial Thai spirit will probably prevail.....
