Mooing' Ringtones used to catch Leopards

Ringtones are favorites of any Mobile phone user. Every user downloads & wants to listen to their choicest Ringtones, whenever, their Mobile Phone rings up. But can Ringtones of Mobile be used to catch the Leopards!!!! Sounds strange but Forest guards in Gujarat state of India have made it possible to lure Leopards with the help of Mobile phone Ringtones.

Forest guards in Gujarat are actually using Cell phones with Ringtones of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract the leopards & they are falling in the trap also. Earlier they have been using methods such as live bait like goats tied to trees to lure the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by the guards.

Leopards often roam into the nearby villages of the forests in search of food & that often results in attacks on the people of villages.

As per one forest official in Gujarat state of India, Mr. D. Vasani,"The moos of a cow, bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards & this trick works"

As per Mr. Vasani , forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as Ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix it behind a cage.

Then they play the Ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.

Till now Five Leopards have been lured from nearby villages since the new Ringtone method was introduced a month ago.
