A red alert has been declared across 17 states over tiger populations. The alert comes in the wake of the poaching and deaths of at least 10 tigers in the past three months in different national parks in the country. Tiger bones were found buried in Kaziranga’s Agratoli range just days ago, alongside vials of Thyodine used to poison animals. They were hard evidence that poachers are now targetting tigers as well.In the past three months, eight tigers were killed or found dead in Kaziranga. And it is not just Kaziranga that is in trouble.
