The local wildlife is continually being forced back as people develop agricultural areas. India Today reported that there are still concerns about why the forest department and police didn’t get involved.
The young leopard had reportedly attacked some stray animals on Friday and hid under a bed. The villagers panicked, and men with axes, sticks, and stones went to search for the cat. Over one hundred people cornered the leopard and beat it to death. Forest rangers stood helpless to the side for three hours as the animal was tortured.
According to Live Science, leopards are big cats known for their golden, spotted bodies and graceful, yet ferocious hunting techniques. They are often thought of as an African animal, but leopards live all over the world. Though their reach is vast, their numbers are declining.
The leopard is very adaptable and can live in many different places across the globe.
