In Abbani village of Kolar taluk, a leopard caused significant damage late at night by attacking a local sheepfold and killing ten sheep belonging to Narayanappa, a resident of the village. This incident is part of a troubling pattern, as it marks the fourth leopard attack in the area within the past week, bringing the total number of sheep killed to over 20.
The frequent predatory attacks have created widespread alarm among the villagers, who are increasingly worried about the safety of their livestock. The local community is now urging authorities to take prompt action to capture the leopard and relocate it to a more suitable forest habitat.
