Did Jim Corbett give tigers a bad name with his stories about man eaters?
He didn’t intend to do that it but yes. Between 1875 and 1925, 80,000 tigers were shot and more than 50,000 were injured.the injured tigers, unable to hunt for themselves, turn into man-eater. When you detroy the forests the tiger lives in, it has nowhere to go, that’s when it starts attacking human beings. Jim Corbett did call the tiger a gentleman, but then that fact is forgotten in the excitement of the chase. Tigers are not dangerous as Valmik Thapar once said’ i feel safer walking with tigers than to walk on the streets of a city.
