Actor Randeep Hooda, renowned not only for his powerful performances but also for his passion as a wildlife photographer, has raised his voice in strong opposition to recent reports suggesting that authorities are considering birth control measures for female tigers as a means of managing their population. Known for his outspoken advocacy for animal rights and conservation, Randeep didn’t hold back, calling the proposed plan a “ridiculous and dangerous idea.”
Tigers, already classified as an endangered species and protected under Schedule 1, have long been the focus of intense conservation efforts aimed at reversing their declining numbers. Yet, the idea of controlling their population through birth control has sparked widespread outrage—especially among animal rights activists and conservationists. Randeep, ever the defender of wildlife, stands at the forefront of the battle against this controversial measure.
“The only population that needs control is humans, not tigers,” Randeep declared with firm conviction. “It’s absurd to even entertain the thought of limiting the birth of a species already struggling to survive. Tigers aren’t just a symbol of our wildlife heritage; they are critical to the ecological balance. Any attempt to interfere with their natural reproduction is a step backward in every sense.”
Randeep’s frustration is rooted in the fundamental misunderstanding of what conservation efforts should focus on. “Instead of trying to curb the population of an endangered species, we should be concentrating on safeguarding their habitats. Encroachment, poaching, and the destruction of their homes are the real threats that need urgent attention. This proposal contradicts the very principles of wildlife conservation,” he added, his voice resonating with urgency.
A staunch advocate for the environment and animals, Randeep implored authorities to reconsider this ill-thought-out proposal. He emphasised the need for comprehensive, humane strategies that prioritise protection, coexistence, and long-term preservation of our wildlife, rather than resorting to invasive and harmful tactics.
In a world where nature’s balance is fragile, Randeep’s call to action serves as a powerful reminder that the fight for wildlife isn’t just about numbers—it’s about safeguarding the very essence of our planet’s biodiversity.
