Hardly we have any forest first.sad that this beutiful animal had to die.

What's a big deal. Just a leopard which was trapped and got killed. So many human beings are killed every day for various reasons.

Perhaps India is the only country in the world where post-mortem is conducted on animals too..

Dear Pinto,
Life is same for humans and animals...
Any death which is not normal is always investigated...
There is more post mortem on animals in wider world today due to their ever diminishing numbers...
We humans have been extra cruel on animals...
This is a fact even you can not deny...
