Leopard kills man, scalps another in Indian city

GAUHATI, India (AP) — A leopard that wandered into a city in eastern India went on a rampage, killing one man, swiping off part of another man's scalp and injuring three other people before authorities tranquilized the animal.

Neighbors in Gauhati said the big cat attacked a 50-year-old lawyer as he talked on his cell phone Sunday evening outside his house. He was rushed to hospital where he died.

Four other people were injured, including a man who had part of his scalp torn off by the animal in a dramatic episode captured by a local newspaper photographer.

Gauhati wildlife official Utpal Bora says authorities plan to release the animal at a wildlife park about 120 miles (200 kilometers) west of the city.

Conservationists say deforestation has increasingly pushed leopards into populated areas.

because the lawsuits in the US would bankrupt the keepers of the escaped animals.

You must not be familiar with the story.

It was a privately owned collection by a man in Ohio who intentionally released about 40(I could be off) various endangered species right before shooting himself in the head. The police then went in to the are and began gunning down all of the animals with the excuse that it was getting to close to dark to use tranqs.

I know about that story, but didn't include it because I thought it was obvious why they had to use lethal force in that case.

If I am getting my ass kicked by a leopard and some jackass is taking pictures instead of helping me, as soon as I can I am kicking his ass.
