MAN-KILLER Vs MAN-EATER
The recent incident of the attack of a village women
in Wayanad by a Man-Eater (Tiger), resulting in her death, shows how we are
exposed to the Wild Animals. We have had such incidents earlier also. These
fatal attacks are mainly due to the Exodus of the wild animals from deep
jungles to human inhabited area in search of prey which are either extinct or disappeared
due to the breakdown of “Jungle Laws” by the developers and resort builders in
the forest territory.
Sudden growth of structures badly affects the
ecological balance of Wild life in the forest and the “Fauna & Fonda” get
scared and move out of the jungles. Adivasis
or the Tribal people knew the Jungle rules and lived together without any
serious damages, avoiding direct encounter with wild animals. But the recent growth of huge structures and
resorts occupying large areas of forest, the wild animals started coming out of
the deep forest, in search of prey.
These animals attacked the villagers at times when they are starving.
Such case only caused the death of the village woman in Wayanad .To guard against
this type of dreadful situation we have to retain the “Jungle Laws” and stop
interference with the natural surroundings.
Now coming back to the “Man Killers” we have had few
cases in the past. These murderers were “hands in gloves” with their selected
politicians for “security cover” for their dastardly crimes. They also take the
shelter of renowned lawyers for legal support to come out from the clutches of
Law. This unholy relation with the men in power, results in continuous cases of
crimes leading to murder of innocent people also.
We were all shocked to hear the murder of the
security Sri. Chandrabose of the “Shoba city “ in Trichur. The Killer Nissam took it as “Fun or Sports”
to chase up in car and kill the poor man on duty. Can we imagine such deadly assaults
to an unarmed person? Even the enemies do not attack an unarmed individual. .
It is strange
to read the media report, that the Police officials did not record the
statements of the victim before his death!!
Now everybody must seriously think over this kind of
inhuman behaviour, (Worse than the Man Eater which killed for its food), by an
individual who disobeys the “Law of the Land”.
What can be the punishment for this “cold blooded’ murder by a “Man
Killer” compared to the one meted out to the “Man Eater” who killed for its food? Let Divinity in action be our watchword in life..
