Follow us Animals don’t deliberately attack humans: Pawan Kumar Sharma, PCCF & Wildlife, UPChhedilal- Male Tiger On the centenary celebrations of the Nawab Wajid Ali Shah Zoological Garden or Lucknow Zoo, we bring to you the story of three tigers, whose circumstances forced them to attack human beings, hence being termed man eaters. The two males and a female tiger, named Kishan, Chhedilal and Renu, respectively, have been in the Lucknow zoo for several years.1x1 polls“A tiger is not a maneater, circumstances force him to attack human beings,” says Pawan Kumar Sharma, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest and Wildlife, UP. “In our Dudhwa and Pilibhit Tiger Reserve areas, most of the jungle periphery is surrounded by civilised areas and fields of sugarcane. So the animals get confused between its forest area and the fields, and strays into the fields. The animal thinks the human is infringing upon its territory which leads to confrontation between the two and the animal is declared a man eater. There are also instances when the animal is injured or is old, and unable to hunt wild animals, so he sees humans as easy prey. These animals don’t deliberately attack human beings,” informs Sharma. Urging people to be respectful towards the animals, he says the forest officials regularly conduct awareness programmes to lessen human-animal conflict and to sensitize people towards animal welfare. “We have to coexist with each other and respect each other's space,” says Sharma.Chhedilal- Male TigerChhedilal was rescued from Chhedipur village in Mailani in the Kheri district and brought to Lucknow Zoo on August 31, 2016. At that time he was about 8 to 10 years of age. Named after the village he was rescued from, it took the forest rescue team more than a month to capture the tiger who had been terrorising the villagers after attacking a few. Upon being rescued it was found that Chhedilal had an injury on his right eye and had a broken canine too which made it difficult for him to hunt. After being brought to the zoo, he was given proper treatment and now Chhedilal, a huge and healthy tiger, can be seen near the fox enclosure at the zoo.Renu- TigressRenu- TigressRenu- TigressRenu, a tigress was brought to the Lucknow zoo on April 14, 2018 from Kheri area of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. While crossing the forest, Renu had run into some men and attacked them and injuring a few. The men, scared of the tigeress attack, beat her up and grievously injured the animal. Renu was then rescued by the Kheri Forest Department and sent to Lucknow where she was treated for her wounds. “It takes quite long to treat a wild animal when it is put in the confines of a zoo,” says Pawan Sharma. “It is very difficult for them to get used to the confines of a cage after roaming about in the wild. And it takes several months of the forest and zoo veterinarians and caregivers to make the animal as comfortable as possible in the zoo,” he adds. And as is with every wild animal confined to the cage, Renu was scared and depressed at the zoo first, but the dedicated efforts of the zoo officials brought results and today she is a healthy and friendly tigress who loves the attention she gets from the visitors to the zoo.Kishan - Male TigerKishan - Male TigerKishan - Male TigerKishan is another maneater brought to the Lucknow Zoo on March 2, 2009 from Kishanpur Forest Range. It was aid that Kishan had attacked villagers in the nearby areas and people were scared of being mauled by him. After a long hunt, Kishan was captured and brought to Lucknow where he was thoroughly examined by the veterinarians of the zoo. It was then found that he had a cancerous growth near his right ear which had spread to the other ear too. Kishan then underwent extensive treatment and is now healthy and free from cancer. Housed in the Tiger Enclosure, Kishan who is a big and formidable looking animal, is quite a crown puller at the zoo. author
