Two lions killed 100 sheep and 40 goats of a farmer in Chodvadi
village of Bhesan taluka in Junagadh district. The village borders the
Gir forest. The incident happened in Gir North range.
Sources in the department confirmed the killings. “The incident
happened early in the evening when the farmer had locked up his herd and
gone to the main village to attend a function,” said the source. He
said that the herd had been milked and left in the pen. On return, the
farmer found his herd under attack and gathered the villagers. “Together
they scared away the lions although we don’t know whether it was a lion
or a lioness,” said the source. He said that the beasts might have
jumped the wall to reach their prey. “In all, the farmer had 210 sheep
and goat in the herd. Of this 15 goats and 5 sheep have been severely
injured,” said the source.
