<p>Actor Randeep Hooda who is also a prolific wildlife photographer, has raised serious concerns over reports suggesting that authorities at the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun are considering birth control measures for female tigers to manage their population. Known for his outspoken advocacy for animal rights and conservation, Randeep expressed that he condemns the proposed step, calling it a "ridiculous and dangerous idea."</p>
<p>Tigers, already classified as an endangered species and a schedule 1 animal, have seen decades of conservation efforts to boost their dwindling numbers. The proposal to curb their population has sparked outrage among animal rights activists and conservationists, with Randeep being one of the prominent voices against it.</p>
