What do you think about wildlife conservation at the cost of human lives???

Question

In many districts of uttarakand(India), leopard attack humans for their survival as pray base has decried drastically. What should government and conservation community do?

Answer 1

There are far more humans than leopards.  If humans didn't eat everything and cut down all the forests the leopards wouldn't have a prey problem.

Answer 2

Here in the US we have wildlife preserves and zoos, and for the most part dangerous animals have been removed from being among or close around the public.  Usually they shoot the animal with a dart that puts them to sleep while they cart the animal off to the zoo which cages them for a time in individual cages, or in wildlife preserves where they run wild and all the animals in the preserve go after each other for food.  If the food is not enough for the animals then fewer of that kind of animal exists then.  Preservation and trying to keep certain animals from becoming extinct is starting to become a problem now that we're becoming more aware of global warming, but perhaps those animals would be used for food in the future so we would be wise to save the more prolific animals for human need if it comes to that.  The wildlife preserves are owned by the government.  The zoos are sometimes privately owned, sometimes state or county owned.  But no matter which way, the public still has to be protected.  If the animals are in like a zoo then people who come to see the animals pay to see them...and dung is sold to farmers (of course it's treated before it's used for the health and protection of humans...you can find how that's done on the internet) and it's called "zoo poo", and so any money collected for this then pays for the upkeep of the animals who reside at the zoo.

Answer 3

I say if you don't like it move. At least leopards eat all that they kill. Humans waste what we kill, not to mention that we also kill for "fun". I think we should learn from those more intelligent than us. Animals seem to understand the laws of nature better than we do. We breed in excess where as most animals breed to there food supply and environment. We kill for numerous "reasons" animals kill to eat or protect. Seriously I think humans need to get there act together and realise most of the issues we have in life are self inflicted. If we weren't so self absorbed we would look at these things from an animals point of view not the poor us point of view

Answer 4

This should be a wake-up call for India: stop having so many damned babies!

Answer 5

So you are suggesting we kill all animals that might attack a human?  Are you aware that even cows have killed humans?

Answer 6

no they should move the humans away

Answer 7

bring the leopards to America,        we have guns not Spears

Answer 8

I think it's silly.  I also think wildlife conservation stopping us from drilling oil in Alaska is silly.  Where does it stop?  There is a reason that humans are at the top of the food chain.

Answer 9

Human life should always be saved, even at the cost of taking animal life. Always.

Answer 10

collect funds to make improvements for animal conservation and habitat &punish all poachers .there must be balance in nature so it's important that serious measures are taken for wildlife conservation &by protecting trees &the habitat reserved only for animal conservation and for construction of buildings.the local people should be encouraged  to preserve the place &trees

Answer 11

we lose species to extintion every day.It's the normal course of nature.''The survival of the fittest''.

Answer 12

This may seem extreme but make poaching a punishment involving execution after trial. The life of an animal should not be considered less than that of a human. Do Unto Others as you would they to you. To not value other life only makes it more likely that humans will committ genocide against eachother. United Nations could emplace solar arrays in sunny places to collect sun and so reducing need for oil. California is a good place for that Arnold Shwarznegger if still Governer could be asked about this. As well as rest of Government.  What in other parts of world helps for reason Ecosystem runs throughout Earth. Human Supremacist Attitudes if listed as cause of Genocide of both Animals and Humans as reason could help. This to be acknowledged at U.N. Solar Array jobs might help humans.  Wars then might be fought over sunlight and control of relays but different matter. Strong U.N. could prevent Solar Power Wars. Also examine military impact on environment  Leopard population

Answer 13

Good question, but my answer may seems cold, there are to many people on this earth, we are like a cancer devouring its resources and have little concern of the future out come for our decedents or the other creatures big and small.

Answer 14

Leave nature alone it all balances out

Answer 15

People living near leopards should adapt and go through surgeries to resembles leopards.  They should join the few leopards community.

Answer 16

Leopards attack humans because the humans are out hunting the leopards(on the reserves)-Poachers.  There is much money to be paid for leopard paws(that is all they want, the rest of the animal is left to rot.)

    We are on top of the food chain because there is food below us.  Lose that and we starve.

    Getting oil from Alaska.  Are we that hard up that we can't walk?   Besides, the oil companies are only looking for the easy oil.  They are not telling you the whole story, like once the oil stops bubbling out of the ground....they cap the well.  It has been calculated that 60% is still in the ground.  Oil companies do not want to pump it out.until prices reach 200

Answer 17

Are you talking about tiger attacks? Leopards are found in Africa..although Snow leopards are found in parts of India..but they have never been known to attack people..but may attack livestock.
