Villagers kill leopard, take eyes out, chop off paws, blame forest department
Home > News Shots > India newsA leopard was killed on Saturday by villagers in Assam. They also gouged its eyes out and chopped off the paws after killing the animal that had critically injured a man in the area, reports NDTV.
In Assam's Veselipathar, people said they were forced to kill the leopard because it was creating terror in the area for the last few weeks. A man was attacked a few days ago and his condition remains critical.
The villagers claimed that the leopard ate several domestic animals. They accused the forest department of "negligence" and said their complaint about the leopard was ignored.
The villagers alleged that man-animal conflict has been on a rise in the region due to the forest department's attitude.
However, it is sad that they didn't trap it and instead killed it brutally by gouging the animal's eyes out and chopping its paws. The forest department must have taken action to trap the leopard before things went out of hand considering their endangered status.
