Cap
Rajkot: Eight lions that were captured near Jetpur town in Rajkot district are languishing in Junagadh’s Sakkarbaug zoo instead of moving around freely in their natural habitat for a month now.
The lions were captured after Jetpur MLA and minister Jayesh Radadia had written to the state government seeking shifting of the felines from the area claiming that villagers were living in constant fear.
Strangely, forest department officials cite administrative and jurisdiction issues for the reason for delay in releasing the lions into their natural abode.
The department did not reply to the representations of wildlife activists who opposed the capturing of the lions ‘without any reason.’
The lions killed at least eight cows within a few minutes
RAJKOT: Residents of Arab Timbdi village of Rajkot’s Jetpur taluka woke up to the deafening roars of lions and shrieking of hapless cattle on Monday night when a pride of 10 lions attacked a gau shala located on the fringes of the hamlet.
The pride unleashed complete bedlam in the tiny village as they killed at least eight cows within just a few minutes. The lions dragged away two cows and feasted on them while injury marks of claws were found on the bodies of other six cows.
The lions remained in the gau shala for nearly 30 minutes and later strayed back into the forest area of the adjoining Junagadh district. Sources said there were nearly 80 cows in the gau shala.
