The leopard died, a text on the video said.
A shocking video of a person pulling a leopard by its tail has surfaced online. In the 20-second clip shared by Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan on Twitter, a man is seen holding the leopard by its tail and one of its hind legs. The animal is seen trying to free itself from his clutches but fails as onlookers are seen filming the act from a distance. The leopard died, a text on the video said.
The location where the video was shot could not be ascertained, according to Mr Kaswan who denounced the act and stressed that wild animals should not be treated this way. “This is not the way to handle or treat wildlife friends. They are also living beings. Be careful,” he wrote.
