According to a report from The Times of India on July 14, a cheetah killed two children in Uttarakhand, India. Finally, on July 11 local time, the cheetah was killed by people. .
The cheetah first killed a person on May 28, in a village near the Narayambaga forest area. An 11-year-old girl was killed. On June 29, another 4-year-old boy was killed in the village of Bayatmalti. Later, the locals deemed this cheetah extremely dangerous.
According to the forest official Ashtosh Singh, the village where the two children were killed is less than 2 kilometers away. People were ready to kill the cheetah. When the cheetah came to the vicinity of the village again, a man named Joey Hooker quickly shot him to death. This is the first successful hunt for "cannibal cheetahs" in the local area this year.
Although this cheetah was shot dead, people still feel terrified. They are worried that there will be more such dangers near the residence.
Local forest officials have designated at least six cheetahs as "extremely dangerous" and "threatening to human life." They are now looking for another cheetah that killed three villagers.
In the last two years, five cheetah killings have occurred in the local area, but it is uncertain whether it is the same cheetah.
Several such tragedies have also occurred in other regions. Such incidents have issued warnings to villagers and environmentalists. Some people think this is due to the conflict between humans and animals caused by continuous deforestation.
They believe that deforestation has challenged the natural living habits of cheetahs, so they must come out to find food. As their living space is getting smaller and smaller, they go to the human living space to find food such as dogs or cows.
