So, the police shot a leopard

Story

What sort of tranqulisers did they use? Aspirin?

A threatened creature scratched a few few people and had to be put down.

The cat itself seems quite small- my fat arsed stray has bigger teeth. And it has not killed anyone. Neither did that cat.

What’s the bet body parts of he leopard are on the black market.

Pricks.

Nice disingenous OP there. Good job. You conveniently left out the parts of the report that stated that the animal was 1.6 meters long and attacked 15 people, apparently at random and without provocation, severely enough to send them to the hospital. It was probably only a matter of time before it did manage to kill someone.

1.6 metres from tail to nose perhaps. And of course it would kill someone- you have proof of this? Or are you talking out of your arse yet again?
Q.E.D.- how many people have leopards actually killed?

When it comes to tranquilizers you should always consult the Malaysians.

Apparently, this one killed 125 people and this one killed over 400. But who’s counting?

So what were they supposed to do? Let it wander around the neighborhood, attacking more people?

Although I don’t have any problem with them killing the animal, I’m going to guess that Cicero’s answer would be the logical one: use a stronger tranq.

Well, from what I’ve heard, using tranqs isn’t all that easy. Like, for example…in this case. Like, it’s not like they’re instant-acting, and perhaps if they had used a stronger one, it would have killed it. It sounds like they tried to be humane and when that didn’t work, they did what they had to do. It’s sad that the leopard’s dead, but is it really a tragedy?

ETA: Not addressed at you, but at Cisco.

Cisco? Cicero?

Oops, yes. Cicero. Why did I read that as Cisco?

Aspirin isn’t a tranquiliser.

A wild animal roamed a residential area for seven hours, putting at least 15 people in hospital.

It’s put 15 people in hospital and it’s getting desperate for food. Would you wait until it attacks a pensioner or a baby?

From your own story:

‘a different leopard was discovered inside a toothpaste factory not far from Balkot three weeks ago.
Zoo staffers were called to the building and took the animal into captivity.’

If you’d bother to do any research, you would have found:

At least one. I bet I can find more.

Two, three and four

Shall I keep going or will you STFU now?

Police in California have often had to do the same thing when a mountain lion was in a residential area. Do you think their motive is also selling body parts on the black market?

Unless your cat is really overweight, it’s not as big as a leopard. Leopards weigh between 60 and 200 pounds. That weight difference alone is going to make a leopard a much bigger threat than your cat.

They should’ve tasered him.

What sort of tranquilizers do you use?

Duh. Aspirin.

This thread isn’t for real, is it?

Good God! Are you really that stupid? Leopards are the most dangerous big cat in the world, period. It would not surprise me if they’ve killed more humans than all other big cats, and all canines (wolves, wild dogs, etc.) combined. They are much mroe dangerous than pretyt much any other wild neighbor you could have. One that’s gone wild and started scratching people up must be put down, and fast, in order to keep it from becoming a man-eater.

Well…I’d say that no leopards were harmed in the making of this thread, but it looks like this would be untrue.

As for the OP…who knows? Sounds like a loon, to me…but I suppose s/he could be getting a good laugh out of pulling everyone’s chain.
