I sure do appreciate this veterinarians stones in taking on this leopard armed with only 4" of plastic and needle, but damn I sure question him thinking he could turn and out run the animal!!!
This savage beast has been tamed for good.
A crazed leopard that mauled 11 people in a wicked showdown with Indian villagers has died from knife wounds it suffered while being captured.
The snarling adult, male leopard was caught in a series of stunning photographs as it leapt at locals and forestry officials trying to hit it with a tranquilizer dart.
Villagers near Siliguri had used knives, sticks and stones to beat back the wild cat and drive it back toward a wildlife sanctuary in West Bengal.
Six villagers, a policeman and four forest guards were injured in the wild encounter about 375 miles from Kolkata- the city formerly known as Calcutta.
The injured animal died hours later, and a necropsy is being conducted.
Leopards are protected in India, but encounters with the big cats have increased as the animals wander into villages in search of food.
