At least ten cattle were killed in a bear attack last night in in the Boniyar area of Uri in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
A black bear attacked a cow shed, belonging to two brothers Baya Kassana and Noora Kassana – sons of Mohammed Ali Kassana, leaving ten cattle, including two cows, five goats and three sheep, dead.
Quoting a group of locals, it said that such incidents have taken place in the area before too. “There have been such incidents happening for last several years now, which have resulted in loss of at least forty livestock animals”, said the report while quoting the locals.
We humbly urge Wildlife Warden and Deputy Commissioner Baramulla to look into the matter and to ensure that no such incident takes place in the area, they said.
