Leopard kills pet dog in Nizamabad
Nizamabad: A leopard attacked and killed a pet dog while it was sleeping outside the owner’s house in Nagendrapur village of Kotagiri mandal of the district on Saturday night.
According to reports, Venigalla Sridhar’s pet was sleeping in the compound and around midnight, he heard the dog crying and woke up. He saw a leopard standing in the compound. The leopard disappeared in the forest after Sridhar raised an alarm. The dog succumbed to injuries sustained in the attack within a few hours. After receiving the information, Forest officials inspected the area and advised villagers to take precautions.
Meanwhile, people in the villages of the district are scared to step out, particularly in the night, as they fear that leopards may attack them. Earlier, leopards were found moving openly in residential areas of Mokkanpally village in Navipet Mandal of the district. Recently, a woman was killed when a car overturned while trying to avoid hitting a leopard in Yellamma Kunta village of the neighbouring Kamareddy district. Last December, a leopard attacked a farmer at Barangedgi village in Birkur mandal of Kamareddy district. He was saved by the farmers working in neighbouring fields.
Incidents of leopard attacks on livestock within the Yellareddy division of the district too have become frequent. A leopard had attacked a man in Yellareddy mandal and seriously injured him two years ago.
