Read the story. There’s more to it than the headline.
| Washington Times Bombay, India, Jun. 29 (UPI) — A wildlife sanctuary in downtown Bombay is becoming troublesome with at least 12 people killed this month by escaped leopards, the BBC said Tuesday. Some 30 leopards live at the 65-square mile Sanjay Gandhi National Park, but apparently are escaping to search for food. There are an estimated 200,000 illegal settlers living in the park, and another million living around it. So far this year, at least 36 people around the park have been killed by leopards, who officials say are not maneaters, but rather confused about prey in an urban setting. Officials plan to increase the height of the fence around the park, and to release about 500 pigs into the wild to keep the big cats from straying. |
So, the cats are killing the squatters living in the park. Not quite the roaming of the streets that the headline suggests. The government needs to remove the squatters.
