When you see the world from that prism, you will see some impact - if not on the large cats, on little ones; if not on the little ones, on even littler ones. Agreed that in a perfect world, it would be great to have these spaces untouched by man.

Their hamlets should be allowed to stay. However they should have access to transportation for day trips out to schools, clinics and markets.<br />I see no problem. What's the hoopla? Let them stay.Marcus334https://www.blogger.com/profile/15273380395240341258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454990.post-78974273138451665172011-04-25T09:56:58.818+05:302011-04-25T09:56:58.818+05:30Sometimes, we think more about the animals than th...Sometimes, we think more about the animals than the people.<br /><br />I am reminded of Ruth Padel's words in an interview 'Of poetry and tigers' where she streses on the need to bridge the gap between the animal-people and the people-people.<br /><br />http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2717/stories/20100827271708800.htmraghuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670238860379944841noreply@blogger.com
