🇮🇳 Posts mislead with video of cow being killed by leopard ahead of cheetah reintroduction in India
As India prepared to reintroduce cheetahs into a national park, a video was viewed thousands of times in social media posts in the Hindu-majority country claiming it shows one of the imported big cats killing a cow in September 2022. The posts also claim cows -- considered sacred by Hindus -- are being offered as"fodder" for the cheetahs.
It shows a cow being dragged from a road into the forest by a spotted big cat, accompanied by a Hindi-language caption that reads:"Cows are our mother and cheetahs are eating them." The post goes on to appeal for help from Yogi Adityanath, a firebrand monk and senior official from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party who has frequently spoken about the need to protect cows, as reported in local media
