Sri Lanka's Psychopathic Wild Life Researchers Let Leopards Feed On Humans

[debriefnews]

This video clip has been taken from our news bulletin of 10.03.2011 and re-posted by NoEalamInSL. The location given by us in the video is not Udawatta Kele as claimed by NoEalamInSL. The location is Dunumadalawa. This area is the watershed for Kandy. No-one can access this forest patch without permission from authorities. It is strictly protected. Continuous reference to the location as Udawatta Kele is an attempt to mislead viewers.

[NoEalamInSL]

@debriefnews, Thank you for verifying the jungle patch is not meant 'Udawaththakale.' The news script says:

0:06 "Chanaka, research assistant carefully fixes a trap camera in a small jungle patch close to the Kandy town. His motive is to remotely capture the images of Sri Lanka's illusive top predator Pantheraspadus Kotiya or the leopard.." People in Kandy fear for leopards. Would you like to live with your children in a city where leopards live? I've posted links of big cat attacks.

[narengunasekera]

@noeelaminSL - judging from the timing of your comments, for such a patriot you don't live in the country itself do you? That amusement aside, you miss the point that humans and leopards have been coexisting for hundreds of years without any issues. People have been harvesting firewood from buffer forests in Yala, Wasgamuwa, forest patches in Habaran, etc and no people have been killed. Where is your evidence for this 'risk?' Perhaps you should try visiting these areas to find out the real facts

[narengunasekera]

@noeelaminsl I have traveled widely in Sri Lanka, which you obviously have not. Do you know that there are people who gather firewood in the buffer zones of many national parks like Yala and Wasgamuwa where there are already leopards? Before you pretend to be a patriot, learn about your country first.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, I have no argument about your travel experience in Sri Lanka. My argument is about danger of Leopards in 0:47 a jungle patch in Kandy with the knowledge of wild life researchers. May it Hantana, Udawattakale or any other place where humans constantly around or live in close proximity it is a threat to life. When humans have to live under insecurity and threat of big cats what do you think about their mentality? Buffer zones or not people animals cross borders.

[narengunasekera]

@noeelaminSL actually no I have no involvement in the project or field. I do have a pet dislike for fools. Your worried about a 'city jungle' because you assumed it was Udawatakelle. The problem is that your knowledge about your homeland is so poor you didn't realize it wasn't Udawatakelle that was referred to in the video. If you had any basic knowledge about Kandy you would have realized that. You can't even admit that you made a mistake and are trying to hide behind further false assumptions.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, I lived very next to Udawattakale and I crossed the jungle daily from Lewella to Kandy town. I dont hide anything whether is is Udawattakale, Hanthana or Dunumadalawa forest leopards should not be there, around Kandy city. Leopards are a threat to humans! period!

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL based on what evidence? Your say-so? When you don't even have the knowledge to determine that the people in the video aren't talking about Udawattakale. Leopards are less of a threat to humans than people with your lack of intelligence. Please tell me you haven't reproduced and passed on your stupid genes to the next generation.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera you ask evidence "based on what evidence? Your say-so? When you don't even have the knowledge to determine that the people in the video aren't talking about Udawattakale. Leopards are less of a threat to humans than people with your lack of intelligence." so here evidence of threat, watch "Leopard attacks forest guard (Caught on camera) " watch?v=OzOrekCIbDg& hope this changes your level of thinking. I dont insult like you "don't reproduce your stupid genes"

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL If you say stupid things in a public forum and can't even get the basic facts right and cannot admit that you made a mistake in assuming it was Udawatakelle then expect to be insulted. You're giving Sri Lankans a bad name with your foolishness so expect to be insulted. Like I said, hopefully you haven't reproduced.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, well I have pure Sinhala gene with high IQ unlike mixed, retarded cross-bread genes. Anjali Watson (perhaps Tamil) wants Leopards to eat Sinhalese. Narengunasekara appear in different usernames. This is some type of personal issue.

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL Ah the true nature of yourself comes out...the racist, foreign 'patriot'. The only personal issue I have is that you are a fool, perhaps inbred. You most certainly do ot have a basic IQ level, much less a high IQ. It probably appears as different usernames because you can't spell it properly. Nothing personal. Just don't like fools giving Sri Lankans a bad name. Why don't you come down here and show live in SL if you're a true Sinhala patriot instead of cleaning foreign toilets?

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera,, haha.. I am in Sri Lanka. Where do you want me to meet you? "Why don't you come down here"..... you sound like my wife's "restarted-idiot sister" and "sister' retarted husband" who destroyed many lives. The thought too they had a high IQ but apparently no IQ at all! You know I love the nature and I like the natural punishment! You dont have to repeat Patriot. I dont work to claim credit or profit like MR. I am a free man live according to my conscience

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL from the timing of your morning comments you can't be living in SL...nice try. Good to know you have a wife, make sure you don't get her pregnant!

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, "make sure you don't get her pregnant!" haha, My ex was looking for better genes and betrayed our marriage. Perhaps you can help her. Her idiot sister and sister's husband is perhaps pimping my ex for high IQ genes. Tell me if you have a sister :)

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL lol...you're about as witty as you are smart.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera,  A man's got to do, what a man's got to do! thanks for trying me out. Do KIT but think and talk bit wiser :) I use only my common sense. My brain is brand new, hardly used :)

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL You're brain is hardly used...at least you can admit that.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, I use only my commonsense not my brain to deal with you kinda ppl:)

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera watch "Leopard mauls six Indian villagers" Indian locals were left horrified by an attack in which a stray Leopard pounced on six villagers in Prakash Nagar, West Bengal. After a lengthy pursuit through the village the leopard was killed by two shots at close-range after attempts to tranquillise the startled animal failed. Sources suggest one forest guard was critically injured while the others were hurt less seriously. youtube.... /watch?v=TZjZTHNk9Hs

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalamInSL One isolated incident is your evidence? Lol...

bit.ly\wwR03N

Are we to assume that most Sri Lankan men will sexually harass Japanese women from that one incident?

In addition to understanding basic facts (especially about your motherland) you also need to learn about evidence and assessing risk. An education would be a good place to start.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, what you tell now. You asked there is no evidence of Leopard attack, didnt you said? Now you say it is an isolated incident. I can imagine your level of IQ. Intelliegent reasearcher never let Leopard to co-exist with humans. They know the danger. Seems to be you are a true psychopath!

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera watch "Leopard attacks forest guard (Caught on camera) " watch?v=OzOrekCIbDg&

[slquest4knowledge]

Dunumadalawa forest and udawatta kele are not the same!

[narengunasekera]

@noEelaminSL - you do not have to be a wildlife researcher to be able to understand basic English. If you cannot get basic facts correct, then why should we listen to you? If you are too lazy/dumb to understand the video then I doubt that you are a good person to listen to about the core of the issue. Next time educate yourself, you're giving your country a bad name.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, Dont worry abt my English. Worry about the jungle patch with free killing machines so close to a city center. No need to be a scientist to understand the danger of a Leopard. Any person with a little common sense can realize the danger of a Leopard to humans. You defend becos u may bring bread&butter to your family by erving a multimillion organization for Leopard protection. But don't forget those Leopards might kill many bread winners of poor families.

[narengunasekera]

@noEelaminSL you didn't say so but the video gave the description of the forest patch, i.e. 5 square kilometers and formerly a tea estate. You quoted parts of the video in response to an earlier comment, Kandy Municipal Council, overlooking lake, etc which made you assume it was Udawatakelle. This leads to two conclusions, either you didn't watch the entire video or you do no know the characteristics of your childhood haunt, Udawatakelle. Which is it?

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera She (Anjali) says at 1:25 Dunumadullawa forest is 5sqkm. I'm not a wild life researcher to research forests and habitats. My concern is people in danger. Poor people collect firewood around the forest. When these leopards get hungry they attack humans. I have given some links of such big cat attacks to humans. So human habitat around the forest is in danger. Why are you so worried about length of video, forest, childhood without addressing the core of the issue?

[narengunasekera]

@NoEalaminSL: If you think Udawatakelle is 5 square kilometers and was a tea estate before then for such a 'patriot' you have very poor knowledge of both the history and geography of your own country.

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, where have I said so? "If you think Udawatakelle is 5 square kilometers and was a tea estate before then" FYI: "Udawattakale or Royal Forest Park is declared as a forest reserve in 1856 and 1938 as a sanctuary. The extent of this forest is about 257 acres and located behind most sacred Dalada Maligawa or Temple of the Tooth. The highest point of the ridge (7°17'55.41"N, 80°38'40.04"O) is 635 meters above sea level, and 115 meters above the nearby Kandy Lake"

[NoEalamInSL]

Answer: 257 acre = 1.04004 km² OR 1 km² and 40042.1 m²

[narengunasekera]

a) It's the Dunumadalawa forest reserve in the Hantane range, not Udawatakelle.

b) There are leopards all over in the hill country often in close proximity to communities in the tea country, yet no-one has been killed. Statistically you are more likely to be killed by a bus in these areas than a leopard.

@Noeelam - you should educate yourself before posting such commentary. Otherwise you look like a fool..

[NoEalamInSL]

@narengunasekera, It seems this video/title hits you hard because you are involved in this project. Dont retaliate/ defend yourself with foolish comments. Be informed about dangers to humans and take action to prevent fatal accidents.

1. listen to the video properly.

2. grasp/feel the threats to humans from Leopards in city jungle.

3. Take action/measures to prevent life threats. (assume victim would be your kids)

"Statistically u likely to be killed by a bus than a leopard."

[SuperKaripakaya]

@ NoElaminSL- you are one dumb son of a bitch mate. shows how stupid, ignorant and idiotic you sound. get a life!

[NoEalamInSL]

@SuperKaripakaya, Psychopathy according to Wikipedia: "the term used for a personality disorder characterized by an abnormal lack of empathy combined with strongly amoral conduct but masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal"

[NoEalamInSL]

@SuperKaripakaya People who say "get a life!" to others, are often the people who destroy other's. So get a treatment for our psychopathic behavior and get a life yourself. Stop looking down upon others. They have better lives than you think and they stand like mountains for barking dogs. You fragile, feel good once life is 'top' but down turn will be relatively severe!

[irenke17]

And horrible title. Conserving leopards doesn't mean wildlife researchers want humans to be eaten by them! Leopards only attack when threatened so people should keep away from their territories. We don't like trespassers either do we?

[irenke17]

Good video. Horrible caption!

[irenke17]

WTF.

[TusitaPP]

NoEelam shows the typical signs of misguided paranoia that many of us Sinhalese are suffering from. There are no leopards in the Udawattakele, in the centre of Kandy, but in the Dunumadalawa Reserve, south of Kandy. Dunumadalawa only skirts the millionaires' mansions along Rajapihilla Maw. People in SL rural areas lived near leopards' haunts with very few problems for ages. The risk of being run over by a drunken bus driver in Kandy is millions of times higher than being eaten by a leopard...

[newfful]

Not to worry, the human population is eventually going to go up to the point that these leopards and other animals will be extinct and/or rare. Humans are the only species that don't have a predator except each other.

[NoEalamInSL]

A lesson to learn by Sri Lanka Wildlife Dept:

(DM 19JUL.2011.) A leopard attacks a forest guard at Prakash Nagar village near Salugara on the outskirts of Siliguri India. Six people were mauled by the leopard after the feline strayed into the village area before it was caught by forestry department officials. Forest officials made several attempt to tranquilised the full grown leopard that was wandering through a part of the densely populated city when curious crowds startled the animal- AFP.

[SketchUp707]

@MuslimApostate So an innocent person deserves to get killed? A baby mutilated who did no wrong? An innocent five year old?! No. People have just as much of a right to live as some Leopard does.

[MuslimApostate]

why must the animals suffer due to hummanity's abuse of there habitats? the have more of a right to live in the jungle then humans do seeing as leopards and other animals don't abuse their ecosystem.

[topflame]

idiot,... wild life is ours to protect,.. not ours to destroy, leopards don't hunt humans, and these researches don't say such a thing, don't lie men..... if there's any1 who should be killed it should be you ppl, who think ur selves are more important than the world and every thing else....

[ARTLKING]

@topflame Agree.

[NoEalamInSL]

Human's encroach jungles as a result of population growth. Those who cant afford to buy houses in the city they encroach jungles. When population of big cats grow where would they go? what would they eat? Let them starve without food? they will hunt and kill humans for food. Wild life is survival of the fittest. The mentality of a Wild life researcher is that every jungle can be a place for big cat and humans to- coexist. They cant asses the risk to humans from big cats.

[NoEalamInSL]

SL WildLife researchers cant asses the risk to humans from big cats. It is humans duty to protet humans first to save same species: natural instict of morality. protecting us first, then neighbours. Just like a mother protects own child first then other children then her. Sri Lankan wildlife researchers are born without natural instict but they do call themselves wildlife researchers. Read Charles Darwins "Natural Selection" . There is saying "nama nam kapuruhami, ee unata kata nam gandai lu"

[topflame]

@NoEalamInSL Charles Darwin said, Man's most noble aspect is to care for Animals Below us in the food chain etc... Who are u to judge every 1 else, i'm sure u never heard of that quote, Google it of you have to, there is a saying that people who know a little are the most dangerous.

[debriefnews]

The location is not Udawattakele and nobody introduced leopards there. FYI: You cannot access the area without permission from authorities.

[NoEalamInSL]

@debriefnews, Video mensions that jungle patch is close to the Kandy town 0:12 (within Kandy Municipalty limits, overlooking Kandy lake 1:10 ) Do Leopards read the sign boards "No Access without permission"?

[NoEalamInSL]

My argument is safety of humans is more important than the survival of Leopard in the wrong jungle without enough preys. You have taken the wrong approach to balance the Eco system. Leopards and other big cats should be introduced in jungles where sufficient preys are available. When predators dont have enough food in the jungle which they live on, they will search and hunt humans in the neibourhood.

[NoEalamInSL]

You cant compare an Afrcian jungle to this city jungle patch "Udawatta-kele". There are thousands herbivores animals in African jungles, so carnivores animals will balnace the food chain. In Kandy, there are only 3 dears, they have to feed 3 Leopards. How long will Leopards feed on them? What will hapen when they dont have enough preys? I think there will be much more value for children and adults including tourists to walk in the jungle without fear to feel/study nature than raring a Leopard

[NoEalamInSL]

Having understood how threatening it is for people living around the jungle patch and for their lifestocks I totally disagree with Anjali. I ask you to put yourself and your children into the situation of a potential victim of a Leopard attack while you are in the jungle patch. There are children and women who are vulnerable to Leopard. If you want to preserve bigcats, do it in a forest-reserve that meant for it. Tday you will introduce a Leopard in Udawattakele, tomorow a Lion

[EmiMale]

@NoEalamInSL It's hard to decipher your posiiton. Are you advocating that leopards in these regions be eliminated for the sake of humans?

[MuslimApostate]

@NoEalamInSL yeah well good luck finding a forest reserve these days big enough to keep big cats seeing as how humans have taken up most of the living space.

[MuslimApostate]

@NoEalamInSL the answer is simple. Stop destroying their source of food which is decreasing due to unrestricted poaching and deforestation.
