Leopard dies in Mudigere after getting caught in trap meant for wild hogs
Chikkamagaluru: A leopard that was seriously injured after it got caught in a trap meant for wild hogs that entered coffee plantations near Baloor in Mudigere taluk is reported to have died in spite of the best efforts of the forest offices and the veterinarians to revive it.
The hunters who had placed the trap are learned to have escaped from the spot on noticing that a leopard was caught in the trap.
Mudigere forest officials rescued the leopard, freeing it of the trap, anesthetizing it and taking it to a safe place. An anesthesiologist was called in from Shivamogga to treat the leopard. The animal, however, failed to respond positively to the treatment and died.
The Forest Department officers are looking for the hunters who had set the trap for hogs. They have also tightened the patrolling to check illegal hunting in the area.
