After the death of tigress Avni, Bollywood celebrities came forward and reacted strongly to the killing of the tigress, who was believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 13 people in Maharashtra in the past two years. Raveena Tandon, Dia Mirza, Siddharth, Kubbra Sait and Avinash Gowariker were among those who expressed their emotions on social media.

The way this has gone down, despite the media glare and public outcry is just shocking. Cannot believe they have done this to her. T1 Avni’s murder is unconscionable. https://t.co/hFUgdMLb21

#TigerConservation is something most of us have given voice to. Can we please condemn the murder of #Avni without any whataboutery? Our children will not know what a tiger is at this rate. Violating norms to kill our national animal is a bleeding #shame! What a horrible tragedy!

PETA India coordinator Meet Ashar termed Avni’s killing as “illegally satisfying a hunter’s lust for blood.” and said killing of the tigress should be treated as a wildlife crime and termed it a “dark day” for the nation. Activists pointed out that it would mean near-certain death for her two dependent young ones. “She may not have died instantly but slowly, through pain and blood loss, and likely in front of her now orphaned and vulnerable cubs,” said Meet Ashar, Lead Emergency Response Coordinator, PETA India.
Tigress Avni, believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 13 people in Maharashtra in the past two years, was shot dead in Yavatmal district of the state as part of an operation, police said Saturday. The tigress, T1, as she was known officially, was killed on Friday night (2nd November), they said. “Avni was shot dead by sharp-shooter Asgar Ali, son of famous sharp-shooter Nawab Shafat Ali, at compartment no 149 of Borati forest under the jurisdiction of the Ralegaon police station,” a police official said. “Avni, who was known in Pandharkawda forest area, had killed 13 people over the last two years in the region.”
