Maharashtra's Leopards And Hyenas In Peril (Wildlife SOS)

In June 2022, a disturbing video surfaced where a leopard was seen hit by a private four-wheeler on the Pune-Nashik highway in Maharashtra.

In the case of the Pune-Nashik highway accident mentioned above, the hyena had sustained injuries on its head, shoulders and legs, and was placed under intensive care at MLRC. After prolonged treatment and intensive care such as anti-inflammatory and oral medication, the hyena was able to make a recovery. Given a second chance at life, the young feline was able to return to the wild. In 2019, Wildlife SOS brought in an approximately 7-month-old female leopard cub after it was hit by a speeding vehicle on a highway in Maharashtra’s Nashik district. [a male Striped hyena met with a terrible accident which involved getting hit by a speeding vehicle on the Pune-Nashik highway](https://wildlifesos.org/rescue/hyena-injured-in-road-accident-undergoes-treatment-at-wildlife-sos-rescue-centre/) in the Manchar Forest Range of Pune district. The high number of leopard mortalities due to road accidents can be regarded as one of the contributing factors for bringing out this report. Both the leopard and the hyena are victims of linear intrusions and we need to take a look at the figures and treat them as individuals rather than numbers. Given the presence of hyenas in this landscape, the expanding roads and highways continue to remain fatal for these invaluable mammals. While there is an absence of data for hyena deaths caused by road accidents, such is not the case for leopards. Paralysed and unable to walk, her chances of recovery appeared bleak as the cub had sustained spinal injuries, leading to complete limb paralysis. In February 2021, a 4-year-old leopard died in a vehicular accident near Atgaon village in Thane district. Even though the leopard somehow managed to escape, the video showed the leopard stuck in front of the bonnet of the car till he ran off with grievous injuries.

There has been an increased number of incidents of man-animal conflicts posing threat to the survival of animals as well as danger to humans. Loss of habitat ...

As per the law, wild animals are not the property of the government and an animal that is wild in nature and freedom cannot be under the ownership of the government. And just like encountering killings of suspected terrorists, wild animals also can be killed when the department entrusted with the job of catching them alive fails in their duties and which is nothing but state-sponsored and state-sanctioned killings. Only when the animal becomes a threat to human life or is diseased or disabled beyond recovery, the chief Wildlife warden of the state has the authority to order its killing. According to the NTCA, there are several reasons for a big cat to get habituated as a ‘man-eater’ including disability due to old age, incapacitation due to serious injury, or loss of its canines, among others. A leopard can be eliminated if becomes dangerous to human life but not only for the reason that the same has strayed into the human habitat. There has been an increased number of incidents of man-animal conflicts posing threat to the survival of animals as well as danger to humans.

Weeks on, officials fail to capture leopard in Belagavi (Hindustan Times)

The leopard had attacked and injured a construction worker in Jadhav Nagaron August 5 and since then border district has been put on high alert with schools ...

Giving four weeks to the Centre to file the response, a bench of chief justice Satish Chandra Sharma and justice Subramonium Prasad said it would finally hear the matter, instead of passing an interim order. “The animal escaped as both the police and forest department had no previous experience. The state highway police Thursday started a survey to check 'speeding of vehicles' on the Pune-Mumbai expressway by placing four interceptors. The forest department had brought thin nets — used for rabbits and wild dogs — to capture the wild cat. The lives of the personnel tasked with capturing the animal was put at risk,” said a local resident, who did not wish to be named. The leopard was surrounded by the operating teams on Club Road near Vanita Vidyalaya school on August 22 but the wild animal escaped by crossing the 30-feet width double road just in 4-5 seconds,” said chief conservator of forests, Belagavi, Manjunath Chavan.
