The Kanpur zoo has added another leopard to its existing number (seven). But, this time, it is a female man-eater that has joined the 'barred' animal kingdom in city. However, there is no need to panic as the zoo authorities have made necessary

The Leopard is my favorite wild animal. I'm so happy she'll live out the rest of her days in peace. Since Humans are more pliable Animals in order to survive will attack & eat us.There's the difference between us & Animals it's done for survival not for cruelty or sport.Yet we're the ones with intellect go figure!! lol

At least the poor soul has NOT been shot, as some other man-eaters have been...but I am kinda sad that the leopard is in that zoo. Thanks Cher.

I am pleased that she found a place in the "retirement village" with the other leopards and hat she was not left out to die...

It clearly was a survival act from the leopard. Hope she did not get too much heartburn.

Thanks Cher.

Sad, but at least this special creature was not killed, poached etc...hopefully it will be safe and be able to find some sort of comfort, but it is truly sad that the wonderful life and freedom that she knew is now over.

Hopefully this area will be a peaceful one that only has a ton of good things to offer. Prayers for this creature.

I don't know whether its a time to rejoice, the manner in which the Indian zoos are managed. The poor leopard became a maneater due to man encroaching on her turf. Now she's going to spend the rest of her days behind rotten bars, oggled and teased by the local population. Her life will be hell. Poor, poor leopard.
