When these villagers in Spiti Valley captured a snow leopard that had wandered into a residential area, they performed a rare act of kindness to release it back into the wild!
We often hear of brutal encounters between humans and animals, where one or the other ends up getting hurt. This fear that exists between the two has repeatedly prevented humans from taking the right course of action in the interest of preserving wildlife. It is therefore, heartwarming to see these individuals releasing a snow leopard back into the wild.
