Muzaffarabad: The locals killed another rare species of Leopard in Sarai area of Azad Kashmir’s Jhelum Valley.
According to the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB), another leopard was killed in a village in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
The leopard had entered the human settlement area in Sarai village of Jhelum valley. While a woman and two others with minor injuries caused by the animal’s attack were transferred to a local hospital.
Wildlife team did not reach the spot in time, therefore locals trapped the leopard themselves. The rare specie was tied with ropes and dragged around that killed the animal.
In a series of tweets, the IWMB chairman said a mob of 200 villagers killed the wild cat in Jhelum Valley’s Hattian Bala.
“Heartbreaking news: yet ANOTHER common leopard killed today in Azad Kashmir by villagers. A mob of 200 attacked leopard who came near village & killed animal mercilessly,” the chairperson tweeted.
The AJK wildlife was not informed about the presence of the wild cat in time, she pointed out, terming the incident “unacceptable”.
