There have been a few instances of game hunting in the present times. Even the
affluent have been involved in instances that illustrate the callousness of human beings
towards wildlife.
Salman Khan – Black Buck poaching case.
Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi - Antelope case.
Salman Khan is a Bollywood celebrity and is fond of game hunting.He poached
three Chinkaras in two separate incidents.Black Buck is an endangered species.Despite
knowing it Salman killed them.A case was lodged against him but he was acquitted.
Nawab Pataudi,the great cricketer, was also in the news for killing the rare species of
antelopes.
Not that he faced no dangers. There were times when the bullet missed its mark, the tiger leapt upon him and he fought the beast with his bare hands. Each time it was the Maharaja who won. At another time he was in danger of losing his throne. A high-ranking British officer visited Pratibandapuram. He was very fond of hunting tigers. And fonder of being photographed with the tigers he had shot.
