wildlife and politics

Well, we the wild life loving sensibles would like to take some humane steps on conservation. Lets see how politics comes in. Lions, in India, are found only in the Gir jungles. They are 300 or so. So the conservationists want some of them transfered to a different part of India so a calamity struck at one place dosent wipe the populations away. Now comes Mr Narender Modi, chief minister, Gujarat. He says lions are pride of Gujarat and will not be given to any other state. The lions, who must have nothing to do with politics, and humans, are at risk of being wiped because of the politicians. I'm sure the politicians have nothing to do with the lions, the conservation or with the pride.
