The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although in India hunting of tigers and other large animals had been the part of the court and the nobility for centuries, yet the British promoted it. Give a reason for it to justify this statement.
English people never were conscious of protecting wildlife in India. They were there to exploit the raw materials and natural resources of the land, and the wildlife represented simply another “trophy” for them. English people considered that large, wild animals belonged to primitive places of the planet, as was the case of India. Some English men thought that by killing large cats they demonstrated Indian people that they were strong and could exert power and influence. Another reason was that the English people tried to protect their domestic animals. Tigers used to hunt them.
Today, due to excessive hunting, the tiger is a protected animal. It is in danger of extinction.
