This Is What Happens When You Make Fun Of Their Spots

 

A leopard has brought terror to the Indian city of Meerut after escaping and attacking several people. Schools and shops were closed to avoid danger after seven people have been injured. In the picture, the animal jumping over a structure in which several individuals are supported in a residential area of the city.

First of all, what kind of city are you living in where you have to worry about LEOPARD ATTACKS!!! Where I live you might see the odd stray deer in the city's green spaces and a bunny or two but nothing CARNIVOROUS!!

And you know what happens to these Leopards once they get a taste for humans. That makes them especially dangerous because any big cat that likes the taste of humans is a sick animal and is seeking easy prey because that's all he can catch any longer. It needs to be put down for it's own good. It's not a well animal. Oh and the fact that it's going after guys on rooftops is also a bad sign. Why not just bait some toddlers with pork chips and set a trap? Does anyone in India ever think outside the box here.



Maybe they should watch The Ghost And The Darkness. Another Bijou of Cool recommendation about two rogue lions who attacked a railroad in Africa in the late 1800s. They were also found to be sick and therefor had turned to humans as an easy food source. In fact they are still preserved in the Chicago's Field Museum.

In 1898, two lions terrorized crews constructing a railroad bridge over the Tsavo River, killing—according to some estimates—135 people. “Hundreds of men fell victims to these savage creatures, whose very jaws were steeped in blood,” wrote a worker on the railway, a project of the British colonial government. “Bones, flesh, skin and blood, they devoured all, and left not a trace behind them.”

Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson shot the lions (a 1996 movie, The Ghost and the Darkness, dramatized the story) and sold their bodies for $5,000 to the Field Museum in Chicago, where, stuffed, they greet visitors to this day.
