LUCKNOW, India — Villagers in northern India have crushed a tiger to death with a tractor after it killed a man, despite the tiger living in a wildlife reserve, officials said Monday. Forest officer Mahavir Kaujlagi said villagers circled around the female tiger after it killed the farmer late Sunday. Killing a tiger in protected areas is illegal, and the reserve’s director, Ramesh Pandey, said a case under the Wildlife Protection Act would be registered with police. The tiger is India’s national animal and it is categorized as endangered under the Wildlife Protection Act. On Friday, hunters shot and killed another man-eating tiger in western Maharashtra state, wildlife forest official Nagesh Gorle said.
