Uttarakhand leopards fed chickens due to shortage of beef
Leopards at Uttarakhand's Chidiyapur rescue centre, located on the outskirts of Haridwar, are being fed chickens due to the shortage of beef after the crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses in UP. As per Forest Department officials, the leopards need 6 kg of protein and fat rich meat. Being a Hindu pilgrimage centre, there are no slaughterhouses or meat shops in Haridwar.
