The Madras High Court has asked the Tamil Nadu Forest Department not to kill a tiger immediately as it may not be a man-eater tiger.
"Do not go for a kill immediately, it may not be a man-eater tiger," the Madras high court told the Tamil Nadu Forest Department which is making efforts to capture Mudumalai's tiger T23.
The court said that there are only a few tigers left in our country.
