Leopard in bath room: Captured after six hours fight
On Jan 7 since the morning Police, wildlife officials and the people faced a panic event. A leopard which was on the loose in civilian colony Karelibaug of Vadodara has now been captured on today Jan 7 by the forest officials. The leopard was entered in the house and then its bathroom. “It kicked around the stuff lying there. We called up fire brigade help line and they gave us another number. They said they are on the way and asked us to keep all doors and windows closed," said the owner of the house. The incident was of 9 AM. The leopard, which got irritated by the ruckus outside, entered the bathroom in the backyard of a house.
"When we woke up in the morning, we heard noises. We saw a leopard walking into our compound. We closed all the doors...we saw him standing at the rear side of the house where we have a bathroom. The maid was cleaning there, and we called her in. The moment we closed the door, the leopard went there and started roaring," said Dhiren Sukhadia.
It was seemed that the leopard was injured at the time when it tried to run away from glassed ventilation window.
Before taking it into captivity, they gunned tranquilizer three shots of injection to make unconscious the animal. The leopard had escaped from a sanctuary in Vadodara and was said to be following its prey which according to experts is usually stray dogs. Behind the colony there is a Meo hospital where another leopard which had escaped had parked itself around 4 years ago.
To day in the news channel discussion one wild life specialist said that in the past one tiger had entered not only in the home but also he started to see the televison after sittin in a corner.
Four tigers entered in a village of Junagarh Gujarat
Another incident of today also happened in Gujarat’s Junagarh District. Four tigers from the nearby secured wild area entered in the village Berwan of junagarh and injured two villagers. In the past also incident of tiger coming in the village happened. But perhaps this is the first time when at a time four tigers entered in the village.
We as a Human being are going against the system of God built Nature system. We are cutting the trees and making the wild our residents. So where will wild animals go. This is the warning bell for us.
In recent years, incidents of wild animals straying into urban areas have increased owing to of loss of habitat as a result of human encroachment into forest areas. In the past one week, at least seven incidents have been reported, setting off alarm bells among forest officials and wildlife conservationists.
The above said incident is the 14th since January 2006 involving leopards or lions. Since 1995, 78 people have been killed and 641 injured by leopards. Lions have killed about 22 persons and injured 130 since 1988, according to the Forest Department.
Last week, an adult lion was electrocuted in a field when it came in contact with a live wire left by the owner in Simar village in Jasdhar taluka. Though it is revenue area now, a few years ago, it was prime forest where the lions roamed free. "Lions still roam around in these areas though agriculture is practised now and there is thick human population in the revenue areas. Lion-man conflict incidents are negligible but this incident also highlights how pressure is building up. Protected areas and forests may have shrunk on the map but the animals know no such boundaries which are leading to increased man-animal conflict. They move around unaware of the traps that humans are setting for them. Animals are dying by falling into blind wells and getting electrocuted,'' says Deputy Conservator of Forest Girnar range S K Mehta.
While shrinking habitat and promixity of human settlements in forest ranges in Junagadh, Amreli and Bhavnagar districts where protected areas, forest reserves and agriculture fields share a thin boundary line, are resulting in lions and leopards ending up in conflict with humans, destruction of prime forest area in Panchmahals is driving out leopards which are found in quite a number here. A few days ago, an eight-year-old girl was killed by a leopard in Panchmahals while a man was attacked by a leopard recently. The degeneration of reserve forest areas around the Pavagadh hill is also forcing leopards to search for prey in the surrounding villages which sometimes result in unexpected forays like the one on Sunday, to the outskirts of big cities. Except in the Gir forest, leopards in all parts of the state are dependent on livestock and foray into villages in search of water and food, which results into man-leopard encounter.
Last year on August 26, a leopard terrorised people on the Bhilka-Sattar road, charging and chasing people on two-wheelers. On July 25, a youth was killed by a lion in Jasapar village in Talala taluka while lions killed a woman in Lathi village near Sutrapada on May 26.
Four leopards have been found dead in a span of three days by Panchmahals forest officials, with the latest casualty occuring on Jan 6. As a dead cow was also found near one of the big cat’s bodies, forest officials believe the four deaths could be due to poisoning, where villagers may have put out a poisoned carcass of a cow, to ward off frequent leopard attacks in the region.
Encroachment of forests and wildlife habitat is not only affecting the big cats; bluebulls commonly known as nilgai, wild boars, and blackbucks are also at a face-off with humans.
Forest officials say, bluebull population has increased to over 60,000 during the last two decades. With disappearance of scrub forest and grassland they started raiding agricultural fields and the problem is worsening in Kutch, Banaskantha, Rajkot, Amreli, Junagadh, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar and Surendranagar districts. Under pressure from the farmers' lobby, the Forest Department issued licences to kill some animals in some areas. However, wildlife lovers and conservation activists raised a hue and cry after which the process was suspended, forest officials say.
In 2004, at least 14 people were killed in Goregaon Mumbai after leopards strayed from the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a 103 sq km (40 sq mile) protected forest on the northern rim of India's financial hub, and entered nearby neighbourhoods.
Hinduism to worship every life of nature
The Hindu Trinity, forms of Gods and Goddesses, the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, the Devatas, Planet and Animal Deities are all presented with their image representation.
Pashupati ( Pahu=animals=pati = lord).
Hindutva is liberal, liberating and brooks no ill will, hatred or violence among different communities. Indians welcomed the first Christians, the first Muslims, the Jews and the Parsis into their country. They were all fleeing religious persecution in their home countries. Even Hinduism teaches us to respect and worship every life of nature, Ganesh on Rat, Shiv on Nandi, Durga on lion, Kartikey on peacock and so on. Menaka Gandhi devotes her best efforts against the cruelty of animals and birds. Even Hindus worship trees such as Pipal & Amla. Biotechnology is going to be an important subject for study in India.
Ganesha represents the majesty of the animal kingdom with his head and his vehicle, the mouse, shows subjugation of pestilent rats, Siva along with his vahan, bull Nandi, Sarswati with her vahan swan, monkey god Hanuman, "fish-eyed goddess" Minakshi. We find Matsyavatara (Vishnu as a fish), Kurmavatara (Vushnu as a tortoise), Varahavatar (Vishnu as a boar), Narasimhavatara (the lion-man) and Gaja-Laxmi.
Snakes widely worshipped by Shaivas everywhere and particularly in south India
Durga rides a lion to defeat the armies of the antigods.
The lists hanging on the fence are mainly educational and are used to inform visitors of some of the sacred areas in India (although worshippers may read through the lists to help them in their devotions to the jyotirlingas or other areas of the temple.) One list names the 12 auspicious jyotirlingas, Another list gives the reader the names of the 7 Holy mountains, 7 Holy Rivers,
"I am the Father- of this Universe. I am the Mother of this universe, and the Creator- of all. I am the Highest to be known, the Purifier, the holy OM, and the three Vedas." God Krishna (BG 9.17)
So Hindus worship the Supreme Reality in the form of Mother, Father, Friend, Master, Guru, Savior and the nature.
