| The Big Cat Cover Up - The truth behind the Indian tiger crisis | |
| 1996 Full Book | |
The Indian tiger is currently at the mercy of a rapidly growing number of determined and well connected criminals who are exploiting the complete absence of an effective and coordinated anti-poaching deterrent in India. Last year it is thought that at least 500 tigers were killed by organized gangs of poachers supplying the illegal wildlife trade routes to China and the Far East. With a population now thought to be below 2,500, it is not difficult to foresee the inevitable outcome of this illicit slaughter. |
