爲領國家賠償 印度村民竟拿家中老人去喂老虎!
In a horrifying trend recently reported by Indian media, poor villagers near the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve are allegedly sending their elderly relatives into the jungle as tiger prey, so they can then claim compensation from the government.
印度媒體報道了最近的一種可怕現象，那就是皮利比特老虎保護區附近地區的貧困村民，會將家中老人送到保護區內喂老虎，這樣他們就可以索取政府的賠償金。The disturbing tactic was discovered by officials at the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) in Uttar Pradesh, who, upon inspecting several mauling sites near the tiger reserve, noticed evidence of foul play.
這一殘忍伎倆是被北方邦野生動物犯罪控制局一位官員識破的，他在老虎保護區附近檢查老虎傷人地點時發現了這一暴行的相關證據。In the most recent case, reported on July 1st, the mauled body of a 55-year-old woman was found in a field near her village, but bits of her clothes were found one kilometer away, in the tiger reserve, and tractor tracks leading into and from the jungle showed that the body had been relocated.
報道稱，最近一起案件發生於7月1日，一名55歲婦女被撕咬的屍體在村莊附近的田地中被發現，但她衣服的碎布卻在1千米外的老虎保護區被發現，並且拖拉機輪胎痕跡都指向保護區，由此可推測她的屍體被移動過。
Tigers in the Pilibhit Reserve are allowed to run free, so if people venture into their territory, they are not eligible for compensation from the Indian government.
老虎可以在皮利比特保護區內自由活動，因此如果是闖入老虎領地，印度政府則有權不賠償損失。If they are attacked outside the borders of the reserve, however, their families are eligible to receive important sums of money from the state.
但是若是有人在保護區外被攻擊，那麼他們的家屬就有權獲得政府的鉅額賠償。
Following an unusually high number of reported tiger attacks on elderly people from villages near the reserve – seven deaths since February – wildlife officials began to suspect that something was off.
隨着保護區附近村莊的老年人被老虎攻擊的案件不斷增多，從今年2月到目前，已有7人死亡，野生動物保護官員開始懷疑事情有些蹊蹺。After gathering enough evidence, villagers were accused of deliberately sending elderly members of their communities into the jungle to be killed by the wild animals.
在收集了足夠證據後，那些故意將周邊地區的老人送去叢林中，使其被野生動物殺害的村民遭到了指控。Instead of denying the claims, locals only added that the victims volunteered to forfeit their lives so their families could have a better life.
這些村民並未否認罪行，只是表示那些受害者都是自願犧牲的，以此來讓他們的家人過上更好的生活。Kalim Athar, the WCCB official who arrived at the shocking conclusion after investigating the shocking attacks, has already submitted a report, and told reporters that the matter has been referred to the National Tiger Conservation Authority for further action.
野生動物犯罪控制局的官員卡利姆·阿塔爾在調查了這些可怕的襲擊案後，得出了令人震驚的結論。他告訴記者，他已經提交了一份報告，並將此事件告知了國家老虎保護局，等候下一步行動。
