There was a program in discovery channel, a scientist working on tiger conservation came up with an idea where the street dogs in the villages near sunderban forests were trained to drive away the tigers..i felt that was a great effort to catch the dogs by them and that idea actually works and help protect man from tiger as well as tiger from men. i think they should take some more steps as this to ensure the no loss of human life and the tigers should also be protected

I have spent the past six years doing research on why only the tigers in the Sunderbans are man-eaters and not the other tigers near there. I have not been over there so my hypothesis for this is only based on the reports that people have posted. I truly think that the tigers in the Sunderbans have never come to see humans as a threat because of the people being wary to harm a connection to Dakshin Ray. Other big cats all around the world have faced hunting pressures that have made them wary of humans. But the cats in the Sunderbans have never truly faced this tyope of pressure, causing them to be more bold. This has lead to them continuing to see people as prey… and easy prey at that. We don't have hooves or horns like their other prey and we are not that strong. We are the equivalent of a hamburger from a fast food resturant.

I live in Kolkata capital of West Bengal, The main reason of increased tiger attacks in sunderban, according, to me is due to lack of natural prey. Humans living in close proximity are easy targets and people living in those areas worship the tigers (Tiger god–Dakshin Ray) rarely retaliate violently. For prevention of these attacks i think firstly breeding programs of deer such as the Indian spotted deers should be initiated so as to increase the number of natural prey for the tiger.

Wow, this really brought home to me the difficulties involved in conservation. If there was a wild tiger that attacked me on my way to Safeway, suffice it to say I would want there to be one less tiger in the world!
