While combing operations by the special Forest team to catch the elusive tiger that reportedly killed a farmer at Koodallur in Wayanad is on, wildlife managers are worried about the dearth of facilities to keep captured tigers.
The Forest department had set up an animal hospice and a palliative care unit for big cats at the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary at Pachady.
The hospice can accommodate five animals at a time, but all the slots were filled a few months ago.
