Oh no, such worrisome news! Thankies fur the heads up. We will purr and purr for the animals of Bakhuis! You do such a great job of raising awareness of these important issues, and we appreciate what you do!

This is very disturbing and thought-provoking. On the one hand, hope for the wildlife, on the other, disaster due to (semi-) human greed.

As to the tiger, I wish him well. "Get your meals how you can!" I think; then I realise how poor these people are, that to lose any livestock puts them further into poverty, so they are going to hate this tiger and try to kill him... What a dilemma. I don't want any human or cat to be killed. But why can't we, as allegedly the "most intelligent" animal on the planet, plan worldwide, plan to limit our proliferation to allow all species an equal chance?!!!

Sorry, this is more like a post than a comment. I just feel so strongly about the selfishness and hubris of the human race...

Thanks for your lovely comment Omer:) xxx

Hmmm...I would have never thought that mining companies could be a good ecological influence...thanks for giving me something to think about in that regard.

How awful that the poachers are moving in to Bakhuis. Hopefully something is done to protect the animals.

That is quite the bad news. In our part of the world,things are so different We do not know how lucky we are. We need to be aware of what happens to animals elsewhere in the world and we can do that by supporting Wild life groups. It will take a long time to change the mind of poachers. That is very sad.

This is some really bad news. It's a shame that the poachers can move in and take such advantage of the situation. I hope that the tiger is caught and relocated soon, before something really bad happens.

That is a very serious concern. Opening up access into these remote areas invites development and the extinction of species. Where I live on the coast here in New Zealand the Kaipara Harbour is under threat from two Power Projects at either end bad news for everyone including the Maui Dolphins that feed there. Last census count was 110 individuals and dropping. They are the rarest dolphin in the world.
Something has to be done about the South American issue.

On the tiger. Very elusive and clearly the tiger has found an easy prey source. I hope they get her soon.

Purrs and hugs to you and the kitties
...lots of links there for me to read great.

Poachers are such a greedy lot. What a shame that they will reek havoc. Thanks for the heads up. We need the rain forests and we need the wildlife too. Have a great day. :)
