Man-eating tigers
1983  Manuscript

Man-eating tigers in Kheri District of India have received considerable publicity both in India and elsewhere. A report in the Times of India dates 4 May put the death toll at in this district since March 1978, and said that 46 people had also been killed by man-eaters in other parts of Uttar Pradesh state. Nine persons have been killed in the first four months of 1983. Naturally, there is an atmosphere of fear in the affected areas; there are political repercussions; and the cause of tiger conservation is being harmed.
