SEC=UGA Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Some of these pictures are awesome... KOLKATA, India - A leopard that mauled 11 people in a fierce showdown with Indian villagers has died of knife wounds after being captured. The snarling adult, male leopard leapt at locals and forest officials as they tried to drive it into a wildlife sanctuary in West Bengal state. Forest official Dharma Dev Rai says villagers used knives, stones and batons to beat back the cat. It injured six villagers, a policeman and four forest guards before being hit with a tranquilizer gun Tuesday. The cat died within hours, and a post mortem is being conducted. It happened near Siliguri, about 373 miles from Kolkata. The people are recovering from their injuries, mostly swipes from the cat's claws. Leopards are protected in India though more are straying into villages for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I don't know about anyone else but I am not going to be standing around taking pics when people are being mauled. Hopefully I will be fighting off the attacker but if not I will and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Soup Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I tell ya, I've had my 15lb housecat to the vet and he got pissed off, which doesn't happen often. Holy crap, you talk about hell on wheels with claws. I can't imagine a cat a couple of hundred pounds all filled up with pissed offedness. :keanureeveswhoa: Nothing like a honey badger though...
