Thats really such a shame, but people have to remember that these Cats are still wild in their instincts, and can turn as has been shown before

Tragic news but a wild animal is a wild animal.

That is really sad, but surely the film crew created this situation. As Lai said a wild animal is a wild animal. It is a sad situation that two lives were lost.

I didnt mean to sound uncaring but it strikes me that as SM says two lives were lost in a totally unnecessary way. The poor person concerned and a wild leopard who through no fault of it's own was doing what would come naturally to it. Honestly will we ever learn? Human beings are at times completely naive and stupid. We can ill afford to lose these big cats.

Re: Tame Leopard kills TV crew member
I agree it is a sad waste of two lives, but believing it was a totally tame Leopard was so stupid on the film crews part. If they had been more cute about the situation neither would have lost their life and I am sure the leopard did not need to be shot, just needed not to use it in filming and believe it was just a big soft pussy cat. I do feel sorry for the person who died and their family but it needn't have happened really.

Awful story on both accounts, the loss of the human and the loss of the leopard.
Nothing I can add to what's above, agree with what's been said - it's a wild animal at heart regardless of how tame you think it is
