Lions Deserve Honour
Lions Deserve Honour
Lion. The word conjures up an image of a wild creature that can harm human life and livestock. Lions are meant to be in the jungle, within a wildlife sanctuary like other wild animals. They may be the chief form of entertainment in circus shows, but they are not allowed to even reciprocate the applause they get for their performance from the audience, beyond the cage and ring.
The recent apex court order to translocate lions from Gir in Gujarat could not dampen Nathwani's crusade to protect the lives of Asiatic lions. In his argument against the Supreme Court's order to form a committee to recommend shifting of lions from Gir within six months, Nathwani says that Gir was the most suitable habitat for lions in the light of its geographical and environmental location. Moving lions out of Gir could deter ongoing efforts to save this rare species from extinction.
