In the Pilibhit district's Fulhar village, a day after a farmer was killed by a tiger, forest officials reported on Tuesday that their team had been tracking the animal and would capture it as soon as favorable conditions were met.

The sixth tiger attack in the area in two months occurred when the 39-year-old Dayaram was mauled to death in his field in Bari Phulhar village.

The forest crew following the tiger reported that the animal also made an effort to assault its staff, but thankfully no significant injuries were sustained.

According to officials, the tiger was last seen close to Auraiya hamlet, which is situated under the Neuria police station area along the Pilibhit-Tanakpur route.

That tiger is very wild. It should be gunned down already. No need to try and neutralize it. That's not necessary now.

This place is not safe, there have been many such instances in the past, where a human was killed by the tiger or a leopard

With how things are going, if there is no safer way to neutralize it and move it to another location, i guess they might have to kill it.

 

[Sanjeev]

No latest information was received but that's for sure villagers might have killed that tiger.

The animal should be taken down. Tigers don't normally attack humans except when they are terrible hungry.

Those tigers must be killed. They are ferocious and spare no one once they catch anyone in the open. I pity those killed by the tiger.

 

[Sanjeev]

Yes, they must be killed but there are lots of animal activists who are against it.

 

[Starmix]

What to kill is the killer tiger. It is better for animal activists to go there and display themselves for the killer tiger to devour.
