A sigh of relief in the Bahraich district (North India)! A wolf that was involved in the killing of at least eight people in North India is now behind bars. This is reported by the broadcaster NDTV.

Previously, a particularly bloodthirsty pack of wolves had terrorized the area around the village of Raipur for two months, repeatedly approaching people and killing seven children and a woman.

In total, the six-member pack is said to have carried out 30 serious attacks.

Especially children had died Wolves prove, believe Ajit Pratap Singh, the head of the local forest department, said the killers broke into houses at night and dragged sleeping children to remote areas just to kill them and eat their body parts.

Only after angry protests from local residents did the government of the state of Uttar Pradesh feel compelled to act.

On Tuesday, rangers from the Indian forestry authority finally set out as part of “Operation Bhediya” to get the wolf threat under control. Using thermal imaging cameras, drones and numerous emergency personnel, they combed the area and drove the wolves into specially set traps using fireworks and elephant dung.

Tragically, the authorities' intervention came far too late for a small child. He was attacked and bitten to death by killer wolves in his own parent's house on Tuesday evening – the wolf hunt had already been going on for hours.

A total of four animals were captured, the other two wolves are still causing trouble. Despite the terrible Incidents The animals should not be euthanized but placed in a zoo.
