Folks,
I guess different countries have different ways of dealing with their wildlife.
Here in Canada, they usually tranquilize the animal, put a collar on it and
release it into the wild. The collar has a radio transmitter which allows the
authorities to track the animal for two years. After that the collar
automatically drops off.
I do not know what the norm is in India, but this is the first time I have
heard of a trapper 'sacking' a trapped animal. And that too without bothering
to tranquilizing it. However, I sure am glad that Amrut Singh & co did not try
and garland the animal.
For those interested, Mozambique has a more interesting way of dealing with
wild animals. It involves garlanding the humans instead. Here is the link.

It you want to see an example of lightening speed, here is what a leopard can
do in eight seconds. This video is not for the feint of heart.
