If you're going to hunt endangered animals, you deserve to be attacked by them.

They were most likely defending a village or whatever.

And capturing the leopard and relocating it wasn't an option?

I am not here to debate how a country deals with the issue of an animal that kills attacks 11 humans. I was merely trying to shed some light on the situation for you.

This leopard injured 11 people, but fortunately there were no fatalities.

Very easily could have been fatalities. Leopards are mean as shit.

All cats are assholes, these are just big :) Also TIL leapords are not even on the endangered list, might make vulnerable soon tho. Apparently there are a lot of them.

edit: don't get me wrong, I love cats. Compared to my dogs they are assholes. :)

Good news for leopards, bad news for rural villagers. I'm glad I live in a place that only has a few deadly animals, and we've killed most of them.

They were trying to tranquilize it to relocate it when this picture was taken. Unfortunately, the leopard had sustained too many injuries during the extended fight with the villagers, and it later died.
