Still Waters Posted January 18 #1 Share Posted January 18 Nepal has been celebrated globally for tripling its tiger population in a decade - but Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli thinks the country may have been too successful. "In such a small country, we have more than 350 tigers… We can't have so many tigers and let them eat up humans," he said last month at an event organised to review the country's COP29 outcomes. Attacks by tigers claimed nearly 40 lives and injured 15 people between 2019 and 2023, according to government data. But local communities say the figure is much higher. "For us, 150 tigers are enough," Oli declared in December, even suggesting that Nepal could send its prized big cats to other countries as gifts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr7e570ppelo Related: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, "We need to save these poor Salamanders in California, let's drain the water into the ocean so they won't all die..."
