Leopard Killed By Locals


In Pakistan, people don't have the means to handle wild life nor do they have the required knowledge of how to go about doing things. Animal tales here highlight this very clearly.

Some residents of Jhamat Shumali killed a leopard on Thursday because the animal had killed two people in the jungle. The two men were passing through the jungle when the leopard mauled them.

Residents, police and wildlife staff started searching for the leopard on Wednesday but stopped at night. On Thursday, they searched again and found the leopard. They killed the leopard with the help of dogs but the leopard killed five dogs in this fight.

It was rare specie and when he was no more many people came to see him as they had never seen a leopard before. According to the locals they had no option but to kill the leopard because wild life personnel are not even trained to catch a leopard alive.
