Avni Tigress Dead

A female offspring of tigress Avni, who was shot dead in 2018 after being declared man-eater, has died during treatment of injuries following an internecine fight at a forest in Maharashtra, officials said on Sunday.

The female cub of tigress Avni,who was shot dead after being declared a man-eater in November 2018, has been released into the wild in the Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) of Maharashtra's Nagpur district after over two years of "re-wilding" efforts, authorities said.

The Supreme Court today issued a contempt notice to nine persons, mostly Maharashtra government officials, in connection with the killing of Avni, an adult tigress, in Maharashtra in 2018.

Amid outrage among wildlife lovers over killing of tigress Avni, a senior forest department official has said that violations of guidelines are "evident" in the postmortem report which also found that the feline was shot while it was "facing away" from the shooter.

Tigress Avni died due to excessive internal haemorrhage and cardio-respiratory failure and her stomach and intestines were filled with fluid and gas, indicating she had not hunted or eaten for 4-5 days, according to a provisional necropsy report.

The hunt looked less like a bushwhack through the wilderness than a coordinated military operation.For months, park rangers and police officers beat through the forest in central India's Maharashtra state. They deployed paragliders and infrared cameras, the Guardian reported. Sharpshooters were mounted on the backs of trained elephants.

Rahul Gandhi's tweet today targeted the Maharashtra government over the killing of the tigress Avni last week.

Tigress Avni was shot dead as a last resort when all attempts to tranquilise her failed and she attacked officials, Maharashtra Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said on Sunday. He also hit back at NGOs criticizing Avni's killing and said forest teams could not have let humans die to save an animal.
