This cruel incident was brought to our attention by our Indian member organisation FIAPO, who have worked for years against Nilgai culls. In response, AfA has authored a letter to the relevant authorities, signed by 195 animal welfare organisations from around the world, to oppose this needless cruelty. Our letter points out that this incident is indicative of the normal responses to farmer-wildlife conflict and shows ineffective methods of population deterrence.
