There is, or more probably
was (by the time I post this), a leopard on the loose in a city in
India ... the animal wandered into the Indian town of Meerut, where
in response, all the local schools were shut, because it hasn't been killed or
captured so far. The creature was probably driven to an urban lifestyle by
lack of habitat, as the Indian population continues to grow in a
frighteningly fast manner.
Attempts to capture it
are at best amateurish, with the closest being when it was locked
in a hospital room for a few hours before it escaped by clawing its
way out. The whole process hampered by 'gawpers' who proved once again, if more proof was needed when you see the deaths at every Indian 'political protest' march, that in some cultures, 'life is held cheaply', and a few bystanders have been mauled .... none killed so far.

| Leopard On The Loose - Gawpers Beware!! |
There is no report on where the authorises were when it was
locked in the room, but they obviously were not rushing. Population
estimates for leopards in India, suggest that their number may be down to
about 10,000 (from figures around 10 times that fifty years ago), so sadly this not a problem that we will see in a few decades ....
