Again Leopard was shot dead by the villagers of Lohinga Kalan adjoining area of Aravali hills in Punhana block of Mewat District ( Haryana ) on 18-12-2010. OIPA in India - PFA Haryana demands strict legal action against all offenders, dismissal of DFO concerned, who failed to protect wildlife.
It would be pertinent to mention here that a Leopard was illegally captured by a Farmhouse owner in Gurgaon District, FIR was lodged in Police Station, Bhondi but untraceable report was filed by the incompetent Police, after it another female Leopard was beaten by the villagers in Mewat in the presence of Wildlife officials - Police. No action has been taken by the concerned authorities.
it may kindly be treated as notice under section 55 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 to all concerned.
Wild animals needs more attention, Leopard killed again on 18-12-2010: Why and who ordered to eliminate body with melafide intention without proper postmortem from expert board - with out video recording?, integrity of all concerned officials became doubtful.

A five-year-old female leopard was recovered from a country villa in the Aravali area of Gurgaon, an official said Sunday.

“The owner of the farmhouse set a trap and caught the leopard after it ate up his dog. We have taken the anmal’s custody and will release it into forest again,” a wildlife official said.

However, the villagers who informed the officials were angry as they said country villa owners have encroached on the forest area.They said the Aravali area is a forest area and wild animals are always present there. “The farmhouses have come up illegally and human beings have encroached the forest area. They should understand this and should not catch leopards,” said Ram Pal, a local. In March 2008 also, wildlife officials caught a leopard from the area and few months after the incident a leopard died in an accident on a national highway.

“Most owners don’t live in their farmhouses and come on weekends only. Leopard sighting is normal but they never hurt anyone,” the wildlife official said.

Family of leopards killed one of his pet dogs; but he had no permission to lay trap

A farmhouse owner finds himself in trouble for trapping a leopard without permission within his premises on the Aravalli Hills in Tikli village on Sohna Road.

A pair of leopards, along with their cubs, had entered Dr Ajeet Gupta’s farmhouse (F-14) in the Aravalli Hills on Friday night, apparently to prey on his pet dogs. The leopard family killed one of the dogs and left its half-eaten carcass behind. The leopards returned on Saturday night for more prey, but the female got caught in a trap laid by the farmhouse owner.

Abdul Rehman, a domestic help at the farmhouse, said the male leopard and the cubs sat outside the cage all night trying to rescue the trapped mother. Yogender Yadav, owner of another farmhouse in the area, said the leopard family had never attacked humans and it was wrong on the part of the doctor to have kept his dogs in the open, thus attracting the attention of the big cats.
