Earlier, under similar circumstances, it entered the cowshed of another villager in Haripora.Abdul Rashid Sheikh lost his calf to the prowler a fortnight earlier."We shouted and beat iron sheets after we heard noises from our cowshed."We chased it and in panic the bear let go of the critically wounded calf that later succumbed to injuries caused by the predator," said Abdul Rashid.In between, the bear killed a sheep and two more calves in the adjoining hamlets.Villagers fear that the predating bear could also attack children and wayfarers if it fails to get its kill of the cattle.The wildlife protection department has decided to set up cages in the village today to capture the predating bear."We will capture it and shift it to the rehabilitation centre inside the Dachigam national park."We are setting up the cages today," an officer of the wildlife protection department told .Till the prowler is captured and shifted away, scores of villagers in Haripora are spending sleepless nights to haplessly guard their cows, calves and sheep in the village.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
