Captured, injured, released, recaptured: Young tigress miscarries three foetuses

A young tigress suffered a miscarriage of three foetuses after being captured, injured, and recaptured in Maharashtra, according to the forest department. The tigress was darted, caged, released back into the wild, and later recaptured when officials found her injured. Forest department officials stated that the stress of repeated capture and physical trauma led to the loss of the three foetuses. Veterinarians examined the animal and confirmed the miscarriage during the subsequent medical assessment. Officials reported that the tigress is currently under observation and receiving medical treatment at a rescue centre. The National Tiger Conservation Authority guidelines mandate strict protocols for handling wild tigers to prevent injury and trauma. The forest department announced that an internal inquiry will investigate the circumstances surrounding the capture operations and the injuries sustained by the big cat.
