Most of human settlement has been done after razing forests. To have homes, humans had to invade into that of wildlife. When the same animals who lost their forests to human settlements come back looking for their homes, people get scared to death and for good reason. Something like that happened with the residents of Thirthahalli village in Karnataka¡¯s Shivamogga district.
A video shows a leopard stealthily entering the village and taking a pet dog away.?
The leopard entered the house premises in the dead of the night and carried the pet in its mouth. Thirthahalli village, is located near the banks of Tunga river in Karnataka and is close to the dense forests of the area.?
?
The video was shared by news agency ANI, and is 1.43 minutes long. It has triggered all kinds of reactions online, but mostly people seem scared.?
However, pointing to the other side of the coin, one user wrote, ¡®Leopard didn¡¯t enter a house, it¡¯s us, the humans who have been ruining wildlife and snatching away animals habitat.¡¯
It does not seem likely that the dog will return alive to the village, however if the leopard plans to visit again, now that it found game there, it will certainly pose a problem for the villagers.?
