A leopard had eaten three children and wounded at least six people were captured alive today in the vicinity of an ecological reserve in the northern region of Uttar Pradesh India, a source forest.
"The trap was laid by Bhupendra Singh Rana, who offered to perform the operation after local authorities will ask for help to end the threat of the cat," said chief naturalist of the region, BK Patnaik, a local agency IANS.
Rana Singh captured the animal with a camouflaged iron cage in which he placed inside a goat as bait, said the conservation authority.
Patnaik, who described the operation of hunting as a "big catch", said "the leopard had terrified the inhabitants of several villages over the past two months."
Forest chief has ruled out releasing the leopard in its natural habitat.
"Given that killed three people and seriously wounded at least half a dozen, we have no choice but to send him to a zoo," said Patnaik.
Experts attribute the increase to the leopards attack humans in India in the building around national parks of new towns, where there are pets, they are pieces of hunting for cats.
New residents and some businesses have invaded the grounds of the nature reserves, which have forced predators to change their eating habits.
