Death of 8 cheetahs, this is not a correct picture! dainiktribuneonline.com

New Delhi, July 20 (Agency)
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that the death of 40 per cent of cheetahs brought from South Africa and Namibia to Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh in less than a year does not reflect the correct picture. Also, asked the Center not to make it a prestige issue and explore the possibility of sending this wild animal to other sanctuaries. The court bench expressed concern over the death of cheetahs and asked the Center to file a detailed affidavit detailing the reasons for it (death) and the measures taken to prevent it. The court said, ‘What is the problem? Is the climate here not favorable for them or is there some other reason. Out of 20 cheetahs, 8 have died. Why don’t you explore the possibility of sending them to other sanctuaries? Why are you making it a prestige issue?’
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, said the Center was going to file an affidavit detailing the reasons for the death of the cheetahs and sought permission to file a detailed affidavit describing the circumstances leading to the death of each cheetah.
