After Tigress, Cubs & Monkeys, 20 Peacocks Die in K’taka: Report
In a shocking turn of events, Karnataka has witnessed yet another bizarre death incident, this time involving 20 peacocks. The latest casualty comes hot on the heels of the deaths of a tigress, her four cubs, and a group of monkeys in the state. The mystery surrounding the deaths has left officials and wildlife experts alike scratching their heads, as they scramble to determine the cause of these unnatural deaths.
The latest incident took place in Hanumanthapura village, where the 20 peacocks were discovered dead on a farmland. The news of the mass death sent shockwaves across the region, with many wondering if it was related to the earlier incidents involving the tigress and her cubs, as well as the monkeys.
Earlier this month, a tigress and her four cubs were found dead in the Male Mahadeshwara Hills. The incident sparked widespread concern, and Karnataka forest minister Eshwar Khandre ordered an investigation into the “unnatural death” of the animals.
The recent peacock deaths have added to the growing list of mysterious animal deaths in the state, which has left many wondering if there is a pattern or link between the incidents. While officials have yet to determine the cause of the peacocks’ death, wildlife experts are speculating about the possible reasons behind the mass die-off.
One theory is that the peacocks may have died due to pesticide poisoning, as a result of consuming contaminated food or water. Another theory suggests that the peacocks may have been killed by a predator, such as a larger bird of prey or even a human.
The deaths of the tigress, her cubs, and the monkeys have also raised concerns about the health of the state’s wildlife population. While officials have yet to determine the cause of these deaths, many are speculating that it could be linked to habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, or even disease.
The Karnataka forest department has launched an investigation into the deaths, and officials are working to determine the cause of the mass die-off. The department has also called in experts from the Wildlife Institute of India to help with the investigation.
The recent spate of animal deaths has sparked outrage among animal lovers and conservationists, who are calling for action to protect the state’s wildlife population. Many are demanding that the government take immediate action to address the issue, including conducting a thorough investigation into the deaths and implementing measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
In a statement, Khandre, the forest minister, said that the government was taking the matter seriously and would do everything possible to determine the cause of the deaths. “We are taking all necessary measures to investigate the deaths of the tigress, her cubs, and the monkeys, as well as the peacocks,” he said. “We will not rest until we find out the cause of these unnatural deaths and take steps to prevent them in the future.”
The investigation into the deaths is ongoing, and officials are working around the clock to determine the cause of the mass die-off. In the meantime, the people of Karnataka are left to wonder what could be causing these bizarre and tragic incidents, and what can be done to prevent them in the future.
