This is what I called BS on...

removing it from the wild because once it has eaten human flesh, the temptations are high to eat another human being,
I guess technically the danger is not that it has "eaten human flesh", but that it "has hunted a human and eaten human flesh", but that seems nitpicky. The reason it has to be eliminated is because it successfully treated a human as prey, which is another way of saying it "has eaten human flesh".
I mean yes, technically if you just drop off a human hamburger and feed it to a leopard, then that leopard would have eaten human flesh but might not be especially more dangerous to humans...but under the circumstances, it's not a stretch to think that there is an implied "hunted" in there with "eaten human flesh".

If you lived in that area with a toddler would you want the leopard removed or would you just be saying "oh well that's what's wild animals do"?

In your opinion, now that this leopard has learned it can hunt, kill, and eat a small human, what would this animal do if it came across another child and saw the opportunity?

I would like to see one shred of scientific evidence that wild animals acquire a taste for human flesh.

take great white sharks for example...do you realize how much easier it would be to prey on humans than seals? they could just set up shop and pick of hundreds of swimmers daily...we aren't on their diet

It said the animal ate the toddler and they found the child’s skull the next morning.
it mentions remains were found and then the skull...even if the toddler was eaten doesn't mean the leopard ate it

Nice to see when you venture off the movie/tv board you still stay on point.

Are they sure it wasn’t a dingo?
Maybe the dingo ate that baby.

That is a bad arse Tiger...I think it's fairly well known tigers love indians
Cats are killers. Just look at domestic cats they kill things just to kill them.

A starving leopard, like any big cat, will hunt humans if that's the easiest food source.

if the opportunity presents itself they will. I doubt big cats are thinking "damn I haven't seen any gazelle around lets go check out that school house"

Let’s see. A leopard was seen to attack and drag off the child. The next day the child’s skull was found. Any logical person would put two and two together and conclude the child was killed and eaten by the leopard. Why is this so difficult for you to wrap your mind around?

Great. Did you also stay at a Holiday Inn last night?
Rock on, Doctor.

How so? This leopard obviously sees humans as potential prey and has learned that the small ones are easy targets. It’s just doing what all predators do, namely go after easy prey.
If there is one predator still in this world for which humans never came off the menu, it is the leopard. Leopards are terrifying. They have preyed upon hominids for millions of years. This is nothing new.

It’s in their nature to learn. Now that’s it’s successfully hunted a human, odds are it will do it again.
So...when these big cats in zoos, or even LSU's own Mike the Tiger, "play" with kids outside their exhibit by following them around, watching them intently, or jumping at them when they sit at the glass, it's just a learned behavior to hunt small animals and not innate predatory behavior?
