Indian Mob Burns Panther Alive - Action Needed
I got this from the Anti-Fur society in my email inbox. I have not looked at the video (I'm not sure the link works as I've copied it from my email) but I understand it's pretty horrifying. It has to be.
Please write. The information below is written by someone else and I'm leaving as is.

This info was at the bottom of several links, and the video:
Despite the countless organizations dedicated to raising awareness and protection for the
world's most endangered species, the battle between humans and wildlife, sadly, rages on.
An angry mob of made up of hundreds of villagers in northern India recently seized a
captured leopard from wildlife officials, dowsed the animal in gasoline and set the
living creature on fire while police and conservation officers watched helplessly.
The shocking event occurred on the outskirts of Corbett National Park in northernmost
India, a protected reserve for a number of endangered species, including leopards.
According to a report from News One, Wildlife Officers were in the process of transporting
the cat, presumably returning the animal to the protective boundaries of the park, when
an angry mob, hundreds strong, took possession of the caged animal.
Chief Wildlife Conservator S.K. Chandola describes the disturbing scene:
Irate villagers forcibly took custody of the leopard that was captured and put in a cage
and was being taken away by department officials. The villagers doused the leopard
with petrol and threw a lit matchstick inside the cage, sending the animal up in flames.
Even though there were about 35 wildlife officials and four policemen, they were
overpowered by a mob of 300-400 people who would not let the officials go anywhere close
to the burning animal that kept wailing and roaring inside the cage until he met his end.
Chandola reported that the endangered leopard had apparently ventured outside of its
designated area within the park and may be the same animal responsible for recent mauling attacks that left three locals injured. For the vengeful crowd that gathered shortly after, the wildlife officials plan to simply return the animal back to the reserve was insufficient justice, so they decided to take matters into their own hands.
The animal's cruel demise echos a similar incident which occurred just last January,
when another group of villagers beat a leopard to death with sticks and cricket bats
in another Indian city, reportedly in retaliation to two people being mauled. This
animal, too, had strayed from a nearby reserve and into a populated area.
The International Organisation for Animal Protection - OIPA in India served this open
notice to all concerned Govt. officials to book all offenders including tainted wildlife
officials who failed to protect their wild animals being an guardian and failed to
perform their official duties as well.
Violations of different sections of the :
1. IPC's.
2. The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
3. The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,
1960.
The Chairman of the Animal Welfare Board of India - AWBI is also requested to look into
these kinds of matters - crimes against animals.
