It is indeed sad to see these magnificent birds come to such a sad end that too after flying in from so far away.

Well that should be a deterrent for poachers, maybe the forest guards could do with a little more training in marksmanship, best deterrent would be the death of some poachers.. gather kaziranga national park guards have shot several poachers.
