lurerarm blogs: Leopard Attack

A horrified crowd looked on in terror as a wild male leopard mauled 11 villagers in India … and the entire incident was captured on film.

It was in the Prakash Nagar village, on the outskirts of Siliguri, that this adult male cat mauled 11 people in the settlement before being captured. In one video, the announcer says that the leopard was released back into the forest.
But later reports claim that the cat died a few hours after being captured from knife wounds it received during the attack.
Forest official Dharma Dev Rai said that the locals used knives, stones and sticks to beat back the cat. The leopard injured six villagers, four forest guards and a policeman, before a forest guard finally shot the cat with a tranquilizer dart.
Leopards are protected in India, though more cats are straying into villages in search of food. This attack is not the first in this area. Other recent attacks resulted in injuries to 6 and 8 people in nearby farming villages on the outskirts of the forests.

Good! Maybe one day, stupid humans will learn not to fuck around with animals.

  You idiot. It isn’t like it was a provoked attack. The leopard just showed up out of nowhere. It was in no way being mistreated by “stupid humans”.

Not so good for the leopard… it got shot, and died.

Unprovoked? We encroach on their territory, destroy their food supplies and then when they fight back, we call it unprovoked? Look around you, shark attacks in the Atlantic, bear attacks in the PNW, coyotes in New England. Wake up, people. STUPID, GREEDY, UNCARING PEOPLE are the root of all of this. We TAKE AND TAKE, yet get pissed when nature pushes back.

I think that what Ray is trying to say is that we take advantage of the environment and we tend to abuse it. Animals are becoming extinct. And, it is just right that humans find themselves in the same situation as what the animals are experiencing. I mean, the humans weren’t doing anything to the leopard. It just came out unexpectedly. The same thing goes with the animals. People hunt. Animals die. People take down trees and destroy forests. The animals’ habitat is ruined. But… did they do anything wrong to us?
