Briefly translated from Gujarati

When a leopard attacks for the first time, it is released free after 45 days imprisonment at Sakkarbag zoo. But it is caught again, it is assumed to be man-eater and the it gets life term. At present there are about 10 such leopards at Sakkarbag zoo. Five – Six out of hundred leopards caught get life term. Every year about 30-35 leopards are caught for human attacks. Due to this there are total 40 leopards at Sakkarbag zoo at present (highest number amongst all other zoos.)
