| Tiger hunting in India in the 1960s | |
| Manuscript | |
In the years 1966-1969 in India, when hunting was permitted, 480 tigers were shot 386 tanned and dressed tiger and leopard skins were exported, according to official records. Undressed skins weighed 17,179 kg, equal to about 3,635 tigers and leopards. It is likely that many more tigers were actually shot, and others poisoned, but not recorded. |
