MOTHER and CHILD MURDERED



Langur mother and child



A mother Langur (White monkey - Presbytis entellus) carrying her infant baby was hit by a vehicle in the early hours of the morning on a rather traffic-less road passing through a forest area. This road is otherwise busy and animals don't bother to cross during daylight. Man is always in a big hurry, but expects animals to wait even in their original right of way.

Humans killing animals - Hill fox - killed in road accident at Nainital

Another victim of human negligence. This photo is of a Hill Fox (Red fox) Vulpus vulpus montana from Nainital highway, which is a hill station in the Uttarakhand Himalayas, India. The roads are mountainous and winding. The vehicle speed usually is around 30 kmph only. Still, drivers do not care for crossing wildlife. These accidents occur especially in the early morning hours, when these otherwise nocturnal animals would be returning home before day break.
