In a macabre fallout of the man-animal fight for space, a mother bear and

her two cubs were axed to death by irate residents of a Poonch village after

they attacked some boys in the area.

The bears strayed into Bedar village in Sabzian area of the district on

Saturday night and mauled some boys after which angry locals attacked them,

officials said here on Sunday.

 

They said the villagers carrying torches attacked the mother bear and her

cubs with axes.

 

Wildlife officials on Sunday visited the village and recovered the

carcasses of the bears, they said adding that two cases had been registered

under the Jammu and Kashmir Wildlife Act and JK Forest Act against the

villagers.

It is matter of Great concern and anguish that Wild Animals are killed brutally

in the State. No efforts are done by State wildlife Deptt. to educate the common

folk and to Take strong steps to curb this inhumane practice.

Moreover Jammu & Kashmir is lagging far behind in implementation of Wildlife

Protection Act .
