If you are concerned about
the risks of having leopards living close to your community then, according to a research project in Sanjay Gandhi National Park just north of Mumbai in India,
the answer might be to manage your domestic waste more efficiently. They have
found that the accumulations of waste attract and support stray dogs which in
turn attract leopards who find the dogs relatively easy prey so stick around
where they are more likely to come into conflict with people.
Now I am just waiting to
hear somebody suggest that leopards are a good way to control stray dogs.
