Detailed Solution

Between 1875 and 1925, over 80,000 tigers, 150,000 leopards, and 200,000 wolves were killed for rewards in India. The British viewed large animals as symbols of a wild, primitive, and savage society. They thought that by killing dangerous animals, the British would be able to civilise India. They rewarded the killing of tigers, wolves, and other large animals because they threatened cultivators. Until 1957, the Maharaja of Sarguja alone shot 1,157 tigers and 2,000 leopards. George Yule, a British administrator, slaughtered 400 tigers.
