LEOPARDS AND BEARS AND PUNJABIS, OH MY

The lede from this Reuters piece just about says it all:

A fence along India's disputed border with Pakistan designed to keep out militants is curbing the movement of wild bears and leopards which are now wandering into villages and killing people

Keep the Sikhs out, but let the leopards in? New strategy? Will Osama soon follow the wild beasts into town, to rampage and destroy?

I'll say this though: every blog in existence has posed some variation on the What Are You Thankful For On This Thanksgiving question. Well, I have a new number one answer: I'm thankful that wild bears and leopards don't wander around, threatening to kill me and my family.
