After tigress, cubs & monkeys, 20 peacocks die in K’taka: Report
In a bizarre and alarming sequence of events, a village in Karnataka’s Mysuru district has witnessed a spate of animal deaths, with the latest being the discovery of 20 peacocks found dead on a farmland. This comes on the heels of the earlier mysterious deaths of a tigress and her four cubs in the Male Mahadeshwara Hills, as well as the reported deaths of several monkeys in the same region.
The latest incident was reported from Hanumanthapura village, where the 20 peacocks were found dead on a farmland. According to sources, the carcasses were discovered by local farmers who were tending to their fields. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined, but officials have sent the bodies for examination to determine the reason behind the sudden and mysterious demise of the birds.
This is not the first time that animal deaths have been reported in the region. Earlier this month, a tigress and her four cubs were found dead in the Male Mahadeshwara Hills, sparking widespread concern and an investigation into the “unnatural death” of the animals. Karnataka forest minister Eshwar Khandre had ordered an inquiry into the incident, which is ongoing.
The deaths of the monkeys, which were also reported from the same region, have raised concerns about the health and well-being of the local ecosystem. The sudden and mysterious deaths of these animals have left many wondering if there is a larger issue at play, and what could be causing these incidents to occur.
One possibility that has been cited by experts is the potential impact of climate change on local wildlife. As temperatures rise and weather patterns become more unpredictable, it is possible that the animals are struggling to adapt to their new environment. This could be leading to a range of health problems, including starvation, dehydration, and disease.
Another possibility is that the deaths are linked to human activities, such as poaching or habitat destruction. While there is no concrete evidence to support this theory, it is possible that the animals were killed by humans, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Whatever the cause, the sudden and mysterious deaths of these animals are a cause for concern. As a society, it is our responsibility to ensure the well-being and safety of all living creatures, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal.
In light of these incidents, the Karnataka government has announced an investigation into the deaths of the peacocks, as well as the earlier deaths of the tigress and her cubs, and the monkeys. The government has also vowed to take action to protect the local ecosystem and ensure the well-being of the animals that live there.
In the meantime, the people of Hanumanthapura village are left to wonder what could have caused the sudden and mysterious deaths of the peacocks, and what can be done to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
