in the past years there are many incidents you might come across like this. The main reason for the farmers or the cattle owner to poison the Wild animal ( Tiger, Panther, etc.) is that their cattle have moved in to the forest area for grassing or for food, and at that time the above said wild animals might have attach the cattle and in the result death occur. So these farmers in order to have their cattle to be in alive they keep the poised meet and at a particular place where the wild animal would come and eat. and in the result the wild animal would die. As the result of these incidents increasing the ecology of the forest broke. i.e the forest chain is broken as the number of wild animals decreased and more over the particular species would disappear in course of time. So Govt and Forest Department should take stringent action against those culprits and protect the forest.
