The government is almost on the verge of bringing in cheetahs from Africa to a national park in Madhya Pradesh. All are hopeful the same will happen in August. What about the animals who will soon be the food for these cheetahs? It is not like they will be killed and then fed to the cheetahs: they will be live prey. They do not know the speed of the cheetahs and will confuse them for leopards. Now the prey are being lured into the fenced area with no avenue for escape. Should they not be given a fighting chance? Those involved in this exercise are wary of the leopards which are a cause for many cheetah deaths and have fenced the former off for a large part of the habitat. Should they not create a near natural environment for all? Man playing God with nature? Not fair and worse not even a sporting chance. In fact this is a fair account of the way the BJP works in other spheres.
