He was beaten to death and then taken to the public square as a trophy. This time, the victim is a leopard brutally shot to death before being dragged through the screaming crowd. It happens in India in Guwahati, in the state of Assam where yet another abuse of animals is perpetrated.

Before, it was the turn of the elephant killed by a pineapple full of explosives, now the victim is a leopard and the images leave you speechless. The majestic animal was struck with sticks by a group of men, then the carcass was dragged through the crowd, its teeth and nails were ripped off, and then it was hung from a pole.

A video has been published on social media that leaves little room for imagination. The leopard is carried in procession amidst the dismayed screams of the people, while men and even children rejoice by raising them high as a trophy. According to India.com, some residents had reported the presence of a leopard who had approached the village, without causing any damage to property or people. However, the authorities did not intervene to capture and then free the animal away from the houses, so this group of men decided to give vent to a real senseless execution.

According to Rajib Baruah, director of the Kamrup East District Forestry Division, the leopard was eight years old and was caught with a rope.

“Since the animal's teeth have been removed, those responsible will also be charged with poaching. The leopard hadn't disturbed anyone or destroyed anything. There has been no attack or provocation ”.

This Time in Assam.

In short, yet another death that could very well have been avoided by capturing the animal and moving it away. Now five adults and two minors have ended up in prison for illegal killing and poaching. The guilty will pay, but this unfortunately will not bring this splendid animal back to life, whose only fault was that of approaching the village driven by hunger and habitat loss.
