    In spite all the problems in our country, I think we overall do a good job in trying to protect our animals... If it was China, this Leopard would have been on some dinner table!

    What a pity if the leopard is left at a place where it cannot find its necessary food...???

    People of Karnataka have destroyed its natural habitat, and such it should have been left near the house of Ramanath Rai the forest minister, who is still in a deep slumber since last election!
