Man-Eating Leopard Stalks Village

http://news.discovery.com/animals/man-eating-leopard-120209.html

What would you do if you saw your younger sibling being dragged off by a flesh-hungry jungle cat? As for me, I don't know what I would do.  This question is floating through minds of the Baitadi district on the border with India.  Bishnu Bahadur Karki, a local deputy superinterdent of police, said "three young girls and a 35-year-old pregnant woman and been killed in the weeks leading up to Wednesday's attack of a 14-year old girl who was cutting grass and dragged off and devoured by a leopard."  The locals are scared to walk alone for fear of being attacked.  You would think someone in the police would have put a bounty on the big cat for the safety of the village.  Why hasn't anyone put a hunting party into action to take the leopard down is what I cannot understand.... Shiva Singh Saud, the headmistress of a local primary school on the border said, "more people may be attacked if the leopard is not taken under control immediately."

What would you do?
