Leopard killed after mauling six in India
Officers shot and killed a leopard after it strayed into a village and attacked six people in West Bengal, India, according to media reports.
The leopard attacked a woman and two men, The Australian reported.
People in the densely populated slum village of Prakash Nagar climbed onto rooftops as forestry officers pursued the big cat and vice versa, Sky News reported. Several attempts to tranquilize it failed.
Things seemed to calm down after the leopard sought refuge in bushes, but it leaped out at three officers, Sky News reported. An officer finally wounded the animal, and it later died at a veterinary clinic.
One forestry officer was reported critically injured.

Its funny some of my american brothers think killing this leopard is wrong and these indians could have tried harder :). The leopard attacked them and bit someone's neck.. ouch.....
They're not really trying unless a few people actually get mauled to death.
I I would have shot the leopord the instant it made a threatening move. Why risk a life over a leopard that is obviously very aggressive and is most likely going to injure someone.
The guy NOT wearing the helmet got it.
Those who would put animals over people have lost their instinct of self-preservation. They are no longer allowed to breed because apparently animals are more important to them and I'm calling them out on it.
Save the animals spay and neuter the people
Amen! How many of these cats exist compared to the number of self important humans.
No doubt! Plus the Local govt. will sell the meat at market, and sell all the body parts to the asian's so they can make up some stupid medicine that doesn't work, further encouraging the black market trade in animal parts...
Like your parents should have been?
totally:)
Love you're idea. The world would be such a better place if you had to get a permit to breed.
Gary,
Should we start with you?
Poor critter. Yes the environment of so many animals is being destroyed – it's horrifying. They should have blow darted it and took it to the jungle.
Caption on picture three: "Several attempts to tranquilize the leopard failed."
grammar! oh, i weep for the future.
That leopard was in the jungle. It's the shantytown that sprang up like an unbeatable fungus. If people consistently used birth control all over this planet (including right here in the USA), we could all live peacefully together. Stop invading the jungle. Shantytowns and suburbs are equally evil. No, I don't have any children and never will.
that's one big kitty. Shame they had to shoot it, but a single leopard can do a lot of harm in a settled area, particularly at night time.
Isn't there all kinds of extra cows to eat in India??
hmm we dont eat them here.. :O and if you are talking about the leopard eating cows instead of humans, then try convincing the leopard 😛
Yeah, maybe they could have done better than some guys in flip flops that can't button their shirts?
I have a nice jaguar jacket, but I really want a full-length leopard coat.
Should I go to India to shop for it?
women always look great in fur
I always root for the animal. There's not enough of them and too many of us.
I love cows. Great meat.
Hopefully one or more of the 6 victims was a Mooslim. If they were Hindu or Budist, prayers to the family.
lol you weren't serious.. right? coz if not then that would be hilariously racist.
Yes, Achshar. Becuase as everyone knows, Islam is a race.
Bad kitty :))
Props to the dude standing on the top of the van with his gun staring point blank at the beast. He saved some serious lives.
Should read, "Slum wanders into leopard habitat, 6 injured."
Probably could have avoided injury if they weren't WEARING SLIPPERS!!!!
Straight for the neck...good job kitty...they invaded your territory
Everyone lives in some other species territory.
Yes, it does seem that the animal just had enough.
