A special species of the so called ‘gaur’ exists in the Sri Lankan parliament, you don’t even need breeding for the type in parliament.. simply take them and relocate them to the the wild and they will thrive in it..

Don’t we have enough Indian buffaloes already? Many brought by colonial Invaders.

The Sri Lankan government can’t even look after its own people let alone animals from the neighbour’s. While we are adrift better to wait until a viable government is in place…..but agree with the sentiment.

What a shame, every thing is being imported including the wild buffalo, if t may called with a different name. The illegal hunters and the forest rangers are the real culprits for extinction of it or reduction of its population. There are enough eye witness for the availability of Indian bison or better called Sri Lanka bisons in Sri Lanka particularly in Sabragamuwa province. Let’s put stringest measures on action to protect available wild life even an order to kill on sight.

Sri Lankan Veterinarian working in Australia Sunday, 16 October 2022 04:07 PM
Indians kill tens of thousands of bisons and cows every year, mixed them as beef and sell them abroad. Generally India is believed by the rest of the world as a “gentle country” where beef is something not acceptable in society. But it would be a shock to anyone to realise that INDIA IS ACTUALLY THE FOURTH BIGGEST BEEF EXPORTING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVEN BEATING CHINA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. If anyone doubts my assertion please google and see it for your selves. Indians are masters in deception and have fooled the world like no other nation in history.

Where is the funding to provide for bringing some in? Is the money better used to provide for elephants, and leopards instead? There are of course children too, who could be provided for, but since this seems another pointless pigheaded decision, not talk about Sri Lanka maltreatment of humans. If Elephants traditional land is being taken, leopard traditional habitat is being encroached on, then where is the endless lands for this big animal? Will there be competition for space with other wild animals if these brought to Sri Lankan?

“ Sri Lankan Veterinarian working in Australia “ ; what you have said is a revelation about India. No other country in the world has the capacity to “LIE” like the Indians. That is why Indians are able to fool both the Americans and the Russians at the same time. It is the British who created this “lying monster” by bringing together “violent backward Hindi speaking tribes” each being savagely ruled by a Muslim Mogul Kings for 800 years, and created a country called India. British empire is bad but as an exception Britain should never have given independence to these “ Hindi Speaking Violent Tribes”. Britain liberated these tribes , and see the results now. “ Killing People” to steal their organs to be sent to rich countries is a big business in India yet the UN is keeping quiet.Sri Lankans using false identities like “Buffalocitizen,, Punchi, and many more IDs” and defending India in the daily mirror comments are all employed by “ human organ “ transporting Indian gangs.

Sri Lankan Veterinarian—- you told the truth. Now wait and see the lunatic reactions to your comment from Indian paid scums led by the old fart “Buffalocitizen-Punchi-Sokrates -Tissa – and many more. This is a Tamil Christian bastard who is not even accepted by his own Tamil community who are majority Hindus. He is a dark skinned guy who prays to “White God” and has mentally lost his marbles .

They were made extinct by our people, so why try to bring it back here? What’s changed to allow this big sized creature to prosper now compared to 100s of years ago? And it is looking like it has a lot of meat. Poacher will find great value to snare one if they brought here. And better money spent on the needy people than security 24 hours guarding these creatures.

India is synonymous with diseases and infections. Bring into Sri Lanka the Indian bisons and our animal population would be substantially wiped out. The whole of India both the people and the animals are infected with so many deadly pathogens. But it is not killing many Indians or the animals is because of it’s permanent presence for generations in India. But Sri Lanka is much a cleaner country where people live like humans with toilets in every home or a hut. Just one infected Indian bison is all that is needed to bring a new epidemic in Sri Lanka. I have made an important comment for my Sri Lankans but the pimps employed by the Indians would respond to my comment with insane outbursts to earn their Indian rupees.

India is a Hindu nationalistic country but it is employing Sri Lankan Christian Tamils to do “dirty work” for them. This is the thing with the converted Christians they will do anything for money, even lend their wives for pleasure for the right money.

We must seek ways to chase the Indian Bisons being already present in the Indian Mission in Sri Lanka, so why should we think of more commitments that may lead to DESTABILIZE OUR WHOLE SYSTEMS prevailing in Sri Lanka.

Better start looking after the intersts of the existing wildlife and their habitats before thinking of bringing in another species to suffer here. Our elephants need all the attention we can muster at the moment, to stop us from loosing them forever.

Please go ahead and send them to us. We have beef processing factory in Ja-Ela owned by former rulers, and this will serve as raw material. In addition, we have our local butchers, who sell beef at Rs.2500/- a kilo. This will boost their income.

This is a good way of overcoming the chicken monopoly. Beef is the most cleanest non veg food. Even fish is not healthy.

Don’t import. as grass lands are not available since cattle graze in wild life parks that are for elephants and there is a scarcity, right now.

Invasive Species Monday, 17 October 2022 06:16 PM
Bring Indian Bison only to bring on trouble for SL future. The invasive plant species called Parthenium Hysterophorus took roots in Jaffna after it was brought here by the “Indian People Killing Force” (IPKF) in 1987 together with fodder for goats and sheep for IPKF consumption and also through IPKF military hardware. Despite its proximity to Eurasia, Africa was spared until 1887, when the Italian Army imported Indian cattle for food and draft power. From the port of Massawa in present-day Eritrea, the virus exploded so fast that it reached South Africa within a decade. It doomed East Africa’s wandering herders, subsisting on milk mixed with cow blood. Historians believe a third of them or more starved to death. The disease was still leaping water barriers as late as the 1980s, when IPKF in Sri Lanka imported sick goats. Until 1999 Sri Lanka was one of the world’s last pockets of rinderpest.

“ The Lansi Burgher Gent “ Tuesday, 18 October 2022 03:38 PM
Well said Manoja Weerakkody. Our wild elephants are literally starving. Our government, it’s relevant officials and animal welfare groups aren’t putting enough effort, if any, into this pressing matter. These elephants are being deprived of their land, water and food is scarce and when they wander off, they are shot at and many killed brutally as a result of it. Over population of the human race will be the ultimate downfall of this country. We are at 22 Million and increasing for God’s sake! Put the brakes on, or else we’re going to deplete of what’s left here. There’s just no space left anymore. Bringing another species of animal from abroad, would lead to the end of our elephants. President Ranil – over to you, if you’re reading.

I was being shocked when I first read about this fabrication to import the animals. I am most pleased to know the proposal is all a lie. Today, 19 October 2022 saw ‘The Agriculture, Wildlife and Forest Conservation Ministry today denied the news report published on an Indian media website regarding the proposal to import several Gaurs or Indian Bison by Sri Lanka.’ It would be irresponsible with our country’s corrupt culture to bring in animals, when even imported milk cows soon die out.
