KATHMANDU: Animal rights activists in Nepal staged a protest in front of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) office here on Tuesday to express their concern over the recent death of three tigers kept in a cage at the Parsa National Park.
The protesters led by activist Sneha Shrestha carried placards and banners with messages such as ‘Stop all forms of animal cruelty’ and ‘Tigers belong to the wild; not to captivity, Why triple tiger population, just to cage them?’ at the WWF office in Baluwatar.
Two male tigers and one female tiger were rescued from Chitwan National Park and Thori of Parsa succumbed to ill health within a few weeks of being placed inside a narrow cage at the Parsa National Park.
